Getting around
I use a lot Bolt, Yandex or the metro
Public transport is cheap but not always comfortable. If I can, I use the metro. I also use often a Taxi. I recommend not to stop one randomly but to use Bolt, Yandex or similar services. If the bus line is not confusing and the bus not to full, you can use it too, of course. There is a bus from the airport to the city center but I use a Taxi or a get picked up by my uncle - and you can too: He offers a shuttle service.
