Transport options usually include shared shuttles, regional buses, and taxis; travel times are often around 60–90 minutes and taxi fares can be moderate compared with city rates. Pros: decent connectivity for Siberian routes and basic passenger services; cons: distance from the city and variable transfer times in winter conditions.
