All metropolitan airports are connected to the center of Moscow by high-speed lines of urban public transport. Therefore, transit passengers are quite easy to get, for example, from Vnukovo to Domodedovo. But this article will be devoted to only one route: River Station - Sheremetyevo. How many passengers arrive in Moscow on board ships? Maybe not. But the River Station is not just the main marina for ships. Next to it is the metro station of the same name. And near it there are bus and minibus stops . Therefore, the River Station as a transport interchange is very in demand among those who need public transport services. If you are heading to Sheremetyevo to board a plane, you are probably interested in the question of how much time you will spend traveling, whether you will be in time at the airport before the check-in ends. Therefore, we will provide saving options for the roadmap.
Where is the Sheremetyevo Airport
This hub with international status is very large. It has six terminals, which are also significantly removed from each other. Therefore, the distance between the Sheremetyevo and the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) can only be calculated approximately. If you count to the terminals F, D and E, it will be nine kilometers, and if to C and B, then all thirteen. The airport is located north of the city center, in the Khimki district of the Moscow region. Like other air harbors of the capital, it is connected to the Moscow Ring Road by high-speed and ordinary free highways. In this case, it is M11 and M10. If you do not have a car at your disposal, you can hire a taxi. But not the fact that such an expensive option will be the fastest. The Leningradskoye highway, which you have to drive along, can be quite busy, especially during rush hours. Therefore, many choose a different route - to the nearest subway station, that is, "Sheremetyevo Airport - Rechnoy Vokzal metro station."
What public transport links the hub to the city
Passengers traveling for a flight are every minute. But quite often, travelers arrive at Sheremetyevo, who urgently need to get to various parts of Moscow, including other airports or train stations. Especially for them there are numerous bus routes and Aeroexpress. So in front of the terminals, a person arriving in the city will find a lot of public transport stops. How not to get lost and choose the right flight? Buses Nos. 851 and 851E, as well as minibus No. 949, go to the Rechnoy Vokzal metro station. Sheremetyevo is also connected to other stops of the Moscow subway - Planernaya and Leninsky Prospekt. Buses Nos. 817 and 11 respectively follow. Route 62 takes you to the Khimki railway station , from where it is easy to get to Moscow stations. Minibus number 948 brings passengers to the station "Planernaya".
How to get from the River Station to Sheremetyevo by bus
The indicated metro station is currently the final stop of the Zamoskvoretskaya line. Now it is planned to continue this branch further north in order to bring the metro closer to Sheremetyevo Airport and thereby reduce the movement of passengers by unreliable traffic jams that depend on traffic jams. One hundred and thirty meters from the exit of the Rechnoy Vokzal railway station there is a bus stop No. 851. They run depending on the time of day with different intervals - from half an hour to ten minutes. The first car leaves the air harbor at 5:35. The last bus from the River Station to Sheremetyevo leaves at half past one. The fare is thirty rubles and paid by the driver.
How much to go by bus
Travel time depends on which bus you board. Regular flight No. 851 makes twenty-nine stops along the way! The bus passes through the territory of Molzhaninovsky, Solnechnogorsk and Left Bank districts of Moscow. Travel time is an hour. Therefore, if you are in a hurry, wait for the express. It is called No. 851E. This bus moves along the same route River Station - Sheremetyevo, but without any stops. Therefore, travel time is significantly reduced. Nevertheless, it still depends on the traffic load. The fare on the express train does not differ much from the price of a regular bus and is forty rubles. It should be said that the flights of 851 and 851E are specially adapted for carrying passengers with large luggage. In their salons there are special compartments for suitcases.
Minibus
Buses are the so-called "social" transport. But the streets of Moscow also runs a lot of minibuses. Their advantage in a small interval between flights is about ten minutes. In addition, nimble cars go around traffic jams faster than clumsy large buses. From Rechnoy Vokzal metro station to Sheremetyevo there is a minibus No. 949. It follows a slightly different route than the bus. The car moves along the Leningradskoye Highway, crossing the Left Bank district, along the streets of Festivalnaya, Smolnaya and Belomorskaya. The entire journey takes twenty-five kilometers. But on this segment the minibus makes only three intermediate stops: TEU, the Neva movie theater and the St. Petersburg store. So the travel time for minibus 949 is approximately the same as for the express bus - from thirty to forty minutes. The cost of a ticket for this type of transport is higher - 75 rubles. The downside is that minibuses leave for the flight quite late. The first car at 6:45. The last minibus goes to the airport at 21:45. In addition, small buses do not have space for luggage.
Aeroexpress
All of the above methods of how to get along the River Station - Sheremetyevo route are good if you do not set off on peak hours. When Muscovites go to work or hurry home, the Leningradskoye Shosse, which you have to follow to the airport, is one big traffic jam. You can spend an hour driving as a result of two hundred meters. Therefore, Aeroexpress is a life-saving option. To catch it, you need to take the metro from the Rechnoy Vokzal stop to the Belorusskaya station. Next you need to get into the building of the same railway station. From the platform, without express stops, the express train goes directly to terminals A, B and C (D, E and F are connected to the Aeroexpress stop by a pedestrian gallery equipped with travelators). This mode of transport is very fast and accurate, like a watch. You will be there in 35 minutes. The first train leaves the Belorussky railway station at half past five in the morning, and the last at 0:30.
