One of the most advanced and most used vehicles in Kazan’s public transportation system is the bus. The bus network provides transportation to almost every part of the city. Buses operate from 06:00 to 00:00 in the morning. At the same time, the metro system and taxis are frequently used as an alternative to bus transportation. A single-trip ticket costs 18 rubles, while monthly subscriptions are more economical. While buses play a more active role in terms of usage rate in urban transportation, train is the most preferred transportation network in intercity transportation.
Each region of Russia has a different dialing code. Kazan’s code is 843. If you want to call Kazan from another city in Russia, you need to click this code.

* BeeLine : It is one of the operators with the highest internet speed and shooting power in almost all of Russia. It is very ideal for those who will frequently travel or travel by train in Russia.
