Balashikha, although it is the largest city in the Moscow region, was not included in New Moscow, and they do not plan to run the metro there. Therefore, the transport situation in the city remains difficult. Although by 2018 it is planned to make an overpass to pass through Balashikha without traffic lights. This will benefit not only the townspeople, but also those who will go to football matches in Kazan as part of the FIFA World Cup.
And yet they promise to carry out the metro to Balashikha. We are talking about an overground light metro, which will run along a special overpass. It is planned that its route will pass from the Moscow region of Novogireevo, through the city of Zheleznodorozhny, and Balashikha will be the terminal station. The preparatory work for this large-scale construction has already begun, and investors have also been found.
In the meantime, you can get to Balashikha by regular metro. For example, the best option is to get to the Kursk railway station (Kurskaya metro station) and take a train to Balashikha. It takes thirty minutes, and you immediately find yourself in the city center. The disadvantage of this method to get to Balashikha is that this train runs once an hour. But in busy morning or evening hours, this option is optimal.
Route taxis and buses run from the terminal metro stations to Balashikha. You can take a minibus to Balashikha near the Novogireevo or Shchelkovskaya metro stations. If you need to go to the city center or to its southern districts, it is better to go from the Novogireevo metro station. From the metro station Shchelkovskaya to go by minibus to Balashikha is more convenient for those who need to get to new areas: Yantarny, Vostochny, Alekseevskaya grove.
You can also get to Balashikha by regular bus from the Partizanskaya metro station. It will take longer travel time. you will have to take a bus ride from the metro through Moscow traffic jams.
