Метро

The metro operates on а жетон token system. You may purchase tokens at the касса at most stations. If you plan on using the metro regularly, you may want to consider а проездной or единый билет monthly pass. The former is for unlimited travel on the metro, buses or trolleybuses (choose your type) only and the latter is good for unlimited travel on all types of transportation. Metro stations are well marked (in Cyrillic only in Russia), and there is a recording which announces the next station as you're pulling out, and that station as the train is pulling in.

Be careful when entering and exiting any metro station with escalators. They move much more quickly than the ones in the DC metro.
