Metro (Subway)

City subway stations are marked with the blue letter "M". They work from 5:30 a.m. until midnight. The last train leaves the end station at 12 midnight, so you might actually be able to catch it sometime between 12:00 and 12:30 at stations closer to the middle of the line. Subway trains run with the interval of 2 to 3 minutes, but from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on the weekday, the coaches may be overcrowded.

In order to use the subway, you need to buy a subway token, which costs 6 roubles (approximately $0.53). Tokens are sold at the cashiers inside the stations, near the entrance. Magnetic cards for multiple rides are also available.

Cards with a limited validity period are cheaper than unlimited ones with the same number of rides. A monthly 70-rides card costs 270 roubles and can be bought from the 10th till the 20th of the current month. It runs from the 16th of the current month till the15th of the next month. The surface transportation pass must be filled out with the number printed on the subway card if you want to avoid being fined. The card can be returned to subway cashiers at the end of the month for a 6 rouble refund.
