Taxi

St Petersburg taxi-cab (official)

There are several types of taxis: official taxis, private taxis, and private cars. Official (and private) taxis can be identified by a "T" sign on the side or a "TAXI" sign on the roof of the car, a lot of them are yellow or white "Volga" type cars.

For foreigners the standard charge for a cab arranged by a hotel's taxi-service will be around $30 to most places, and for longer trips, such as to or from the airport it may cost $45-50.
Many private cars also stop to pick up passengers to earn some money. Getting into a private car for a ride, however, can be risky. It is OK only for people know some Russian.
It is recommended not to use the services of private car owners.
