Transportation to Yekaterinburg Airport from the City Center
Since the urban transportation and public transportation are very modern and highly developed, the need for taxis or car rental companies in the city significantly decreases. It is possible to travel to all parts of the city with many options such as metro, trolleybus, bus, express train, marshrutka or tramway which will take you wherever you want from the city center within the shortest time.
Arriving at the train station which is within a short distance to the city center or the metro station which is also close to the station enables a comfortable and quick travel to the airport without any transfer. Going to the airport without any transfer is possible thanks to these options.
Bus and Trolleybus
The buses, which connect the many regions of Yekaterinburg to each other, has 40 different routes on average. There are two major bus stations, as the north and south, located on the busiest streets of the city. The north bus station is a little busier than the other, and most of the buses going to the airport are departing from this station.
To get to the southern bus station take bus routes 20, 030 or 57 from 8 Marta bus stop (on the corner of Prospekt Lenina) or trams 1, 5, 15 or 27 from metro Geologicheskaya. Electric trolleybuses are very practical and fast as long as the traffic is not too much. Trolleybus routes 1, 23, 31 and 71 go from the train station to the city center.
Bus routes 1 and 9 also follow the same route. You can use whichever comes first. As the bus and trolleybus routes operate quite often, your waiting time does not exceed 10 minutes. The trolleybus route 11 frequently operates between the train station and the southern bus station.
Train
You can even get to the train station by walking since it is only 2.5 kilometers of the city center, and you can reach Kosovo Airport in about 40 minutes by getting on one of the express train routes 6037 or 6039. Be sure to get your ticket (22-50 ruble) from the ticket vending machine in the station before boarding this express train going to the airport from the train station.
Metro
The Yekaterinburg metro, which was put into service in 1991, is the most economical and fastest way of providing transportation between the city center and the train station or the north bus station. There are 9 different stations of this metro, which has only one line called Line 1, which is 12.7 km long in total.
These metro stops are Botanicheskaya, Chkolovskaya, Bazhovskaya, Geologicheskaya, Ploschad 1905 Goda, Dinamo, Uralskaya, Mashinostroiteley, Uralmash and Prospekt Kosmonavtov. Yekaterinburg metro, which is the 13th and last metro put into service in Russia, is a metro considered to be the shortest metro in the world and was mentioned in the Guinness book.
Geologicheskaya, which is the south of the city center, is the part of the city where many hotels are located and Ploschad 1905 Goda, which is the north of the city center, is the heart of the city and busiest streets are on this region. The public transportation that offers the fastest and most comfortable transportation option between these two regions is metro.
Tramway
Tramway can be preferred as a public transportation vehicle as they will be much faster than buses during heavy traffic. Between the stops of each tramway route there is a region close to the city center. Ticket prices are the same as bus, trolleybus and metro ticket prices; 24 rubles. You can probably get your ticket from the driver. It is quite easy to get to the city center or the train station in a very short time if you take one of the tramway routes 1, 5, 15 or 27 from the 8 Marta bus stop (on the corner of Prospekt Lenina).
Taxi
The fact that the city's transportation network is highly developed greatly reduces the use of taxis in the city. However, those who are trying to get to a place in time can choose to take a taxi in the city. If you want to go to the airport from the city center by taxi, you have to pay about 500 rubles. The taxi companies providing service actively in the city; Taxi Plus (343 381 45 45), Ekaterinburg Taxi (343 334 08 78) and Taxi Gorod (343 373 33 73).

Car Rental
Local car rental services are mostly among the last alternatives just like taxis. Because the city traffic and highly developed public transportation network put a damper on car rental services. But if you plan to see other Russian cities in addition to Yekaterinburg, renting a car can be a more economical option for you. In Yekaterinburg, there are the central offices of the car rental companies like Hertz, Avis and Europcar.
The prices start from 75 Euro per day. Local car rental companies are much cheaper than the international companies; daily car rental prices start from about 45 Euro.

In this way, it becomes possible to leave your car directly at the airport before your flight.
