In Saint-Petersburg, owning a car is a highly desirable sign of success and social status, although the public transport network is often crowded. The metro is undoubtedly the best choice for all residents of the city. This one also has some exciting architectural station. Ground transportation is diverse: metro, trams, buses, trolley buses, taxis, taxis, bicycles, and so on. In Saint-Petersburg, there is a high pollution of the atmosphere. Exhaust fumes get into the air. The city is overloaded with a car that worsens both the transport system and the environment. Bicycle is quite a popular form of transport, but in St. Petersburg there are at least 200 thousand active cyclists, that is, about 5% of citizens. So it's not very popular with us.
