Moscow underground: - very cheap, now single costs only 15 rubles (1 pound = 50 rubles) - trains are frequent, every 3-4 minutes - most stations are very well decorated - trains have much more room then London's trains but a little more noisy
Buses, trams, troleybuses: - cheap, single is also only 15 rubles - but have more confusing routes then underground
Minibus: - cheap - fast - maximum 11 passengers
Taxi: - cheap - traffic jams - not all taxi drivers speak english - easy to catch, just stick your arms out and a car will stop - everyone can be a taxi - could be not safe at suburbs for single women - you should negotiate price before get in - if you do not know correct price you will be overpriced - to get from both international airports (Domodedovo and Sheremetevo) cost about 1,300 - 1,500 rubles

More personal opinion would have been nice to read but this does state how you can get around in Moscow, (which afterall is the category of the product review.) If you do add any of your own personal opinion drop a message in my guestbook and I'll happliy come back and reread and rerate. Jules x

A bit more info would be good as comments below state, but hey as far as I am concerned getting aroudn a city is definately part of the experience of a city.
