SMOKING
Russia does not have a smoking ban in force yet even though there is some proposed legislation in the Duma prohibiting smoking in workplaces, on aircrafts, trains and municipal transport, in schools, hospitals, cultural institutions and governmental buildings. The no smoking bill must go through two more readings in the Duma before sent to the Federation Council for approval and to president for his signature.
TAXIS
Taxis can be divided into two types: “official” taxis and private transporters. Official taxis are yellow and have the emblem of black checkers along with a light table with the word “taxi” on the car roof. Private transporters are not designated. Official taxis have a fixed price (and are more expensive). Taxis can be ordered by phone (with a waiting time of 10 – 15 minutes).
