By Tram
A more scenic, but slower, way to see Saint Petersburg is by tram ÑÑамвай. In recent years, due to traffic problems, some tram lines were removed from the centre of the city. They cost 23 rubles and are sold by a conductor sitting in the tram.
By Route Taxi
Route taxi маÑÑÑÑÑка - marshrutka is sometimes the fastest way to get somewhere. Taxis are 14-20 seat vans, usually white or yellow, always with a letter K and route number plate K-28. Often they are small Chinese or Turkish buses. There are no regular stops; you must tell the driver when you want to get out, or wave while on the roadside to stop one. You must pay to the driver at entry, usually from 20 to 35 rubles. If you cannot reach the driver on your own, pass the money through the other passengers and be ready to pass other's money if you sit close to the driver. The Marshrutka experience may seem exciting sometimes, especially when you see some brave driver counting change while steering with his knees at 70 MPH 110 km/h. Many marshrutka drivers are illegal immigrants and speak Russian poorly if any at all.
