Domodedovo International Airport is one of the main air ports of the Russian Federation. More than one hundred thousand people pass through his gates daily, most of which are arriving and departing passengers. And the rest of the people are the staff involved in the round-the-clock operation of the airport and its services.
Ticket to Moscow
Now it is difficult to imagine an airport without the ability to get from it to the city center by public transport. It does not matter whether it is regional or international. However, rarely flying passengers upon arrival at the capital's airport, the question arises: "How to get from Domodedovo to the metro?"
Everyone who at least once flew an airplane was faced with the fact that when passengers leave, there is a huge number of taxi drivers offering their delivery services to any area of the capital, including the suburbs. A knowledgeable person immediately shakes his head in denial and tries to get out of their networks as soon as possible.

And most recently, a small Ryazan passenger transportation company surprised everyone. She launched a regular bus service along the route "Ryazan - Domodedovo - Ryazan Airport".

Suburban Electric Trains
How to get from Domodedovo to the metro with the maximum benefit for the passenger? Thrifty travelers are often asked this question, and the answer is quite simple. The lowest cost and least comfortable way to get to the airport is to use a commuter train. Like the express trains, they start from the Paveletsky railway station and take their passengers directly to the main terminal of Domodedovo Airport. The nearest metro along the train is the Warsaw station. Departure from this interchange hub combines the lowest fare and proximity to the metro. However, there is a chance to get confused and go the wrong way: in the city of Domodedovo, electric trains to the airport go to the side and follow in a different direction. And the interval between adjacent trains is about one and a half to two hours.
Metropolitan Taxi
For most of the day, passenger fixed-route taxis, or, as they are also called, minibuses, from Domodedovo to the Krasnogvardeiskaya and Domodedovo metro lines run along the established route. Small and maneuverable minibuses make their way quite quickly in the dense stream of public transport. If you have tight deadlines or you are late for the flight, and there is no possibility or desire to spend almost five hundred rubles on Aeroexpress, the minibus to the airport will be the ideal solution for you. Unlike buses, fixed-route taxis are not tied to the timetable, but to the number of completed flights and are themselves interested in the earliest possible arrival at the final destination.
