Since the urban transportation and public transportation are very modern and highly developed, the need for taxis or car rental companies in the city significantly decreases. It is possible to travel to all parts of the city with many options such as metro, trolleybus, bus, express train, marshrutka or tramway which will take you wherever you want from the city center within the shortest time.
Arriving at the train station which is within a short distance to the city center or the metro station which is also close to the station enables a comfortable and quick travel to the airport without any transfer. Going to the airport without any transfer is possible thanks to these options.
The buses, which connect the many regions of Yekaterinburg to each other, has 40 different routes on average. There are two major bus stations, as the north and south, located on the busiest streets of the city. The north bus station is a little busier than the other, and most of the buses going to the airport are departing from this station.
To get to the southern bus station take bus routes 20, 030 or 57 from 8 Marta bus stop (on the corner of Prospekt Lenina) or trams 1, 5, 15 or 27 from metro Geologicheskaya. Electric trolleybuses are very practical and fast as long as the traffic is not too much. Trolleybus routes 1, 23, 31 and 71 go from the train station to the city center.
Bus routes 1 and 9 also follow the same route. You can use whichever comes first. As the bus and trolleybus routes operate quite often, your waiting time does not exceed 10 minutes. The trolleybus route 11 frequently operates between the train station and the southern bus station.
You can even get to the train station by walking since it is only 2.5 kilometers of the city center, and you can reach Kosovo Airport in about 40 minutes by getting on one of the express train routes 6037 or 6039. Be sure to get your ticket (22-50 ruble) from the ticket vending machine in the station before boarding this express train going to the airport from the train station.
The Yekaterinburg metro, which was put into service in 1991, is the most economical and fastest way of providing transportation between the city center and the train station or the north bus station. There are 9 different stations of this metro, which has only one line called Line 1, which is 12.7 km long in total.
These metro stops are Botanicheskaya, Chkolovskaya, Bazhovskaya, Geologicheskaya, Ploschad 1905 Goda, Dinamo, Uralskaya, Mashinostroiteley, Uralmash and Prospekt Kosmonavtov. Yekaterinburg metro, which is the 13th and last metro put into service in Russia, is a metro considered to be the shortest metro in the world and was mentioned in the Guinness book.
Geologicheskaya, which is the south of the city center, is the part of the city where many hotels are located and Ploschad 1905 Goda, which is the north of the city center, is the heart of the city and busiest streets are on this region. The public transportation that offers the fastest and most comfortable transportation option between these two regions is metro.
Tramway can be preferred as a public transportation vehicle as they will be much faster than buses during heavy traffic. Between the stops of each tramway route there is a region close to the city center. Ticket prices are the same as bus, trolleybus and metro ticket prices; 24 rubles. You can probably get your ticket from the driver. It is quite easy to get to the city center or the train station in a very short time if you take one of the tramway routes 1, 5, 15 or 27 from the 8 Marta bus stop (on the corner of Prospekt Lenina).
The fact that the city's transportation network is highly developed greatly reduces the use of taxis in the city. However, those who are trying to get to a place in time can choose to take a taxi in the city. If you want to go to the airport from the city center by taxi, you have to pay about 500 rubles. The taxi companies providing service actively in the city; Taxi Plus (343 381 45 45), Ekaterinburg Taxi (343 334 08 78) and Taxi Gorod (343 373 33 73). Taxi Deluxe (343 336 33 33) is one of the most affordable taxi companies.
Local car rental services are mostly among the last alternatives just like taxis. Because the city traffic and highly developed public transportation network put a damper on car rental services. But if you plan to see other Russian cities in addition to Yekaterinburg, renting a car can be a more economical option for you. In Yekaterinburg, there are the central offices of the car rental companies like Hertz, Avis and Europcar.
The prices start from 75 Euro per day. Local car rental companies are much cheaper than the international companies; daily car rental prices start from about 45 Euro. If you rent your car from the city center; make sure that the office of the same company is also located in Koltsovo Airport. In this way, it becomes possible to leave your car directly at the airport before your flight.
Koltsovo Airport is one of the busiest and biggest airports after Moscow and Petersburg airports in Russia. Koltsovo Airport, which is about 18 km southeast of Yekaterinburg city center, started offering service as a civil airport on July 10, 1943.
There are direct flights from Istanbul Ataturk Airport and Antalya (in some seasons) to Koltsovo Airport, which offer service to about 4.3 million passengers each year. At the same time, this airport arranges flights to more than 50 different destinations. At Koltsovo Airport, which is open to service every day and hour of the week, there are two main terminals as A and B and also a private terminal as Business VIP. There are many services at the airport such as comfortable waiting rooms, free internet access (WIFI), post office, ATM, ticket offices for public transportation and information desks, cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops.
Terminal A is for domestic flights and Terminal B is for international flights. The Business VIP terminal is used for VIP flights and there are private areas like meeting and conference rooms in this terminal.
Ganja is an ancient city in Azerbaijan located in the Caucasus region that has existed since ancient times and at the same time the second largest city in Azerbaijan. Ganja International Airport welcomes guests who want to visit this city, which has many historical buildings, including the tomb of Nizami, the famous Central Asian poet.
Although Ganja is among the most crowded cities of Azerbaijan, the surface area is much smaller and the population ratio is quite low compared to many cities. The city center is the area around the square hosting the statue of Leader Heydar Aliyev. This statue is surrounded by state buildings as well as a large park.
There are not many public transport vehicles that serve in the city. The most economical way to go around the city is to take a bus station from the central bus station close to the city center or to travel with minibuses that provide transportation services to many parts of the city. Unfortunately, trolleybuses and trams, which have a long history in urban transportation, do not operate today. You may only come across trolleybuses that serve some parts of the city, especially at times when traffic is intense, at some time.
Apart from all these, you can rent a car or take a taxi if you want to have a more practical and comfortable journey in the city. There are also people in town who agree to share a taxi cab, so you can consider this option for a more economical journey.
It is possible to travel to the neighboring cities or Georgia by trains from the central train station after your flight lands. The public transport system in Ganja is not very efficient. Nevertheless, as in all other Azerbaijani cities, in Ganja, transportation to airports, railways and tourist areas is often served by public transport. To go to Ganja International Airport, you can take a bus from the city center, take a taxi or rent a car.
It is possible to get to the city center with the many buses departing from the airport. These buses have very frequent intervals. When you arrive at the airport, you will arrive at the bus terminal as soon as you pass through the parking area. The bus fares are very reasonable.
You can reach the city center in about half an hour by these buses. Once you arrive at the city center, you can continue your journey with the buses, depending on where you are going. Buses along with minibuses are one of the main options in urban transportation. By bus, you can easily travel to any area of the city.
In addition to these, you can also go to Baku and Goranboy cities by buses. These buses depart every half an hour, or every hour, from early morning to evening.
Minibuses provide transportation from the airport to the city. However, after arriving at the city center by bus, you can travel to many parts of the city via minibuses. Minibuses are very affordable.
The train is not an option used either from the airport to the city center or within the city. From Ganja, train services are mostly organized to Baku and Astra cities. You can also evaluate the express train alternative to travel to Baku.
You can rent a car from the airport terminal or you can also book your car via internet before your flight. The pricing of these vehicles is set according to the kilometer and you can have the safest, fastest and most convenient transportation from the airport to the city with this method. If you are traveling with your family, we recommend you to rent your car in particular.
Taxi is also an alternative to use within the city. But sometimes it is not easy to find a taxi at the airport. Some of the rickshaws that function as cabs also provide a taxi-like service. If you are going to take a taxi, we recommend that you talk to the taxi driver in advance about the fare.
