About Tolmachevo Airport
Tolmachevo International Airport was built in 1939, as an air school in Novosibirsk for the Soviet Union Air Force to train troops and then in 1941, turned into a military airport and served the Soviet Army for many years. Due to the airports location, it was decided by the Soviet authorities for the airport to be civilised and in 1957, the first civilian plane took off from the airport. International flights started in 1962. In order to meet the increasing demand for the airport, which is an important transit point between Europe and the Soviet Union, a new terminal building was opened in 1963. In 1968, the airport was completely renovated and modernised. Tolmachevo International Airport is the busiest airport in the Siberian Region and exceeds four million passengers annually.
Getting to the City Center from Tolmachevo Airport
Novosibirsk, which is the largest city of the Siberia region in terms of the surface area, is the third most populous city in Russia with one and a half million population. Novosibirsk has a very cold climate and is noted for its weather temperature that may go down to -40 in the winter months. At the same time, the city, which is highly developed in terms of automotive and mining industry, is one of the leading centers of the world in this respect. The urban transportation is provided by metro, trolleybus, minibus, bus and taxi. However, the metro is the most convenient option for transportation. Considering the cold weather in the city and the streets are covered with snow in the winter, the metro consisting of 12 stations is the best option among the other alternatives for urban transportation. The single-pass train ticket is about 25 rubles; it is also possible to buy tickets for multiple passes as 5 or 60. For the urban transportation, the city bus is the option that provides the best transportation alternative after metro. The private bus lines provide a faster service compared to the public transportation buses; unlike the public buses, they do not have to depart/stop at the certain stops. The ticket price for public buses is 10 rubles, while the ticket price for private buses may vary ranging from 15 to 35 rubles. The minibuses called “Marshrutka”, which serve as a means of urban transport throughout Russia, are also available in the city of Novosibirsk. The marshrutka minibuses are so similar to the minibuses in Turkey. The ticket prices vary between 0.3 and 1$ depending on where you want to go in the city. Tramway and trolleybus attract attention as other means of transportation in the city. Trolleybus ticket prices are lower than the bus ticket prices by 8 rubles. One-way tram ticket prices are about 10 rubles. You can pay for the tickets after getting on the public transportation vehicles. Taking a taxi and renting a car are the easiest yet the most expensive means of transportation in Novosibirsk. You can get a taxi at the taxi ranks on the road or you can call a taxi to wherever you are by contacting the taxi call centers. Taking into consideration that the taxi drivers do not mostly activate the taximeters, bargaining in advance can be useful for a lower taxi fare.
