8. Traffic conditions in Russia

Traveling in Russia, the traffic is convenient. There are five major airports in Moscow alone. The largest is Sheremetyevo International Airport No.2, which is the main gateway for foreign planes to enter Russia, and the flight from Beijing to Moscow also lands here.

For long-distance transportation between cities, you can take the railway train.

Train tickets and round-trip tickets can be bought in advance, but foreigners must buy them with passports. When the on-board train enters the station, there is no need to queue up for ticket checking. Passengers can wait directly at the platform where the train stops, and only need to show their tickets when boarding.

Russian railway stations are generally connected with subways or bus stations, and the traffic is very convenient. There are 9 railway stations in Moscow, which can transport passengers in all directions. There are also many trains to various places, especially from Moscow to St. Petersburg, which runs almost every hour. Trains are generally sleeper cars, which are divided into four ordinary compartments with sleepers and two advanced compartments with sleepers.

In addition, the railway also has short-distance trains to the suburbs, which Russians call "small electric trains". This kind of train has a hard seat, and the fare is cheaper. You can buy a monthly ticket.

Public transportation in Russian cities is relatively developed, and buses, trolleybuses, trams, taxis and other means of transportation are readily available. There are no conductors on buses and trams in the center of Moscow. Passengers can buy tickets from the driver at 4 rubles each, or at the subway station at 3 rubles each. Passengers must make holes in the bus ticket machine by themselves. Because each bus has a different punching position, the ticket inspector can know at a glance whether it is punched by this bus.

Taxis in Moscow are few and expensive. However, you can take the car of ordinary citizens. As long as you reach out and park your car on the side of the road, there will be a private car parked next to you soon. They charge much cheaper than taxis, because most of them just stop by to earn some extra money.

The most convenient, fast and cheap means of transportation is the subway. In the past, the Soviet government stipulated that all cities with a population of more than 6,543,800+should build subways. So Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities have subways. Moscow metro was built in 1932. On May 5th, the first subway 1935 was opened to traffic. From Suo Kornic Park to Smolensk Square, there were *** 13 stations with a total length of 1 1.6 km. By 1996, the Moscow metro has 9 radial branch lines and a ring line, with a total length of more than 300 kilometers. 150 stations connect 7 railway stations, 10 squares and other important public places. By 2000, five new subway lines will be built, with an increase of 102 km. The subway runs from 5 am to night every day 1. The loop subway runs every minute, and the branch line runs every two minutes. The frequency of departure at rush hour is higher, every 50 seconds. Besides, the train runs on time. No wonder Muscovites would rather take the subway than take buses and trams. Moscow subway is very deep, and some stations are two-story or three-story buildings, so in 150 stations, * * * is equipped with more than 500 inclined rolling elevators, which run 20 hours without interruption, making it very convenient to get up and down. Subway tickets are all magnetic cards. Insert them into the magnetic card hole at the entrance and the door will open automatically. Subway tickets are very cheap. The magnetic card is used for 5 rubles once, 20 rubles for 5 times, 35 rubles for 10 times, and 150 rubles for 60 times. It is valid for one month from the first use. After entering the subway station, no matter how many times you transfer, no matter how far you walk, you don't need to swipe your card again. On the subway map, the ring line and nine branch lines are marked with different colors, so passengers can easily remember and identify the line and station names according to different colors. Moscow subway station is magnificent, like an underground palace. Marble walls and granite floors, mosaic murals are bright and moving, lamps are decorated with their own characteristics, figures and reliefs are the same, and each station has its own style, which is world-class.

Besides land transportation, inland river shipping is not only a mode of transportation, but also a tourist activity. In Moscow, taking a boat trip to moscow river is one of the important sightseeing projects. Visitors can get on and off at Kiev Railway Station, Luzhkino Stadium, Gorky Cultural Park and Nuowallas Bridge Pier. From the terminal of Kiev Railway Station to the terminal of Lasky Bridge in Novos, the one-way fare is 40 rubles for domestic tourists and 80 rubles for foreign tourists, and the journey takes about 2 hours, which is fairly cheap. The cruise ship passes through the New Saint Cemetery, Sparrow Mountain, Cultural Park, Kremlin and other places, and visitors can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait. In St. Petersburg, you can take hydrofoil from the pier in front of the Winter Palace to the pier in the Summer Palace. For a journey of more than half an hour, the one-way fare is 100 rubles for domestic tourists and 200 rubles for foreign tourists. In addition, from mid-May to mid-June of 10 every year, the "Volga River Tour" is very popular, and the demand for ship tickets is in short supply, and it was booked up several months ago. Passengers board the ship from moscow river Wharf, pass through Ugric, yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, Kostroma, Kazan, Samara, saratov, Volgograd and Ulyanovsk along the Volga River, and end the whole journey in astrakhan, the seaport city of Caspian Sea.
