TAXI (Moscow)
TAXI (Moscow):
taxis in Moscow can be easily found throughout much of the city, with such service provided by various private cab companies. Since many of these taxis are unmetered, it is best to set the price before boarding. For those staying in the city for a week or more, it is best to ask locals the going rate for a taxi ride from one place to another (e.g. the Kremlin) before even hailing (or calling for) a taxi. That way, you know what the fare should be before-hand. Some visitors (especially those with smart phones) may feel more comfortable calling a particular taxi service before-hand, especially one with an English-speaking driver.
