Today, the problem of choosing a mode of transport in the capital is very, very relevant – a simple trip by minibus to the metro can turn into a half-hour standstill in a traffic jam due to a spontaneously occurring accident resulting from an absolutely careless driving style, which, unfortunately, is so common in the capital region.
This problem seems especially important before a vacation if you have chosen a plane as your main mode of travel. It is hard to imagine a large family trying to squeeze with suitcases into a crowded minibus to get to the nearest metro. Against the backdrop of the instability of choosing more than one mode of transport, choosing a taxi ride to the airport seems not only logical but also perhaps one of the most sensible solutions to this problem.
More than half of the international flights of the Russian capital are operated by Domodedovo Airport, which is why the taxi booking service to the airport is the most frequently requested in the capital's taxi companies. Meanwhile, there is no single route to this airport.
The main highway leading from the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) directly to the terminals is the Kashirskoye Highway. In the period of 2011-2012 alone, this highway at the intersection with the MKAD and within 10 km of it underwent more than six upgrades. Nevertheless, this interchange was and remains to this day one of the busiest and most problematic in Moscow. Also, accidents are not uncommon directly at the approaches and exits of the two-level interchanges of nearby southern highways, such as the M4 Don and Simferopolskoye Highway.
It gets to the point that sometimes taking a 42 km detour and driving from the Simferopolskoye Highway along the Moscow Ring Road to approach the airport from the region side takes half the time compared to driving along the MKAD from the same point (intersection of Varshavskoye Highway and MKAD) to the airport exit and then driving 22 km along a straight road to the airport. This is mainly due to the construction of shopping centers near this interchange, such as 'VEGAS' or 'My Home', which create serious congestion at the exit and entrance to the parking of these shopping centers, which in turn adds to the tail of the traffic jam stretching towards the region from the transport hub near Domodedovskaya metro station, known for its huge number of suburban buses and five large shopping centers.
Obviously, you need to choose a company for booking a trip to Domodedovo responsibly, because only a large company has a sufficient staff of dispatchers who can monitor the traffic situation and in 99% of cases avoid a trip through a congested highway.
