The most serious traffic problems were located on the north of Moscow, on the way to the international airport of Sheremetevo.

Later the railway terminal was built directly on the territory of the airport. The trains depart from the Railway Terminal of Savelovskiy, in the city of Moscow. The long-distance trains don’t come to this station, so its work load is not very heavy. A special area in the Terminal was organized for the registration of the passengers for a flight. This fact has facilitated the organization of works. But in the nearest future this service will include the other Moscow big Railway Terminal, the Belorusskiy Railway Terminal. It will let the through passengers to make their transfer from the long distance trains to the airport rapidly and without delays. Now the transfer Savelovskiy Railway Terminal – airport Sheremetevo takes 30 minutes.

The service lets the passenger to reach the airport in 45 minutes after the registration for the flight before the transfer, what is much more rapidly, as by other means of transport.
