| Aug 5, 2019 at 15:01 | comment | added | WoJ | Domodedovo has the above-mentioned marshrutki Isn't there a (fast) train which goes to Domodedovo? I am almost sure I took one 12 or 15 years ago to get there, the service was perfect and I made it for my flight even though it would have been difficult by road. (EDIT isn't that this one? aeroexpress.ru/en/aero/route/domodedovo.html) | |

One minor point I would like to mention about the marshrutkis(jitneys) is that some of them actually craft their route based on the passengers' destination, so you may be expected to state where you're going lest the driver take a huge shortcut skipping your stop. Also, when you're on board and some other passenger gives you money, just pass it over to the driver, it's their fare. So while convenient, some minor social interaction may sometimes be required to ride them. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 17:54 | comment | added | DK2AX | @LLlAMnYP Thanks for the info! I didn't know Aeroexpress also goes to the other airports, I have so far only used bus and marshrutka to get there. The price for Aeroexpress is higher (about 500 ruble I think as compared to 120 ruble from Domodedovo by minibus), but still comparatively cheap. Regular buses from Vnukovo etc should cost only around 55 ruble, so less than a USD. | |

FYI, Aeroexpress is available for all three major airports around Moscow and definitely beats the bus connections (the buses are slow and take you only to the outskirts of Moscow). I'd recommend Yandex.Taxi (which you mentioned) over Uber (which others have) since it's considerably cheaper. | |
