At the entrances to Moscow from the eastern side, there is the city of Balashikha, known not only for its textile production, but also for round-the-clock traffic jams. Therefore, despite all the proximity to the capital, it is not easy to get here. The way to Balashikha is also complicated by the fact that the city is divided into districts and between some of them there is a rather difficult pedestrian connection, or only one road passes.
The fastest way to get to Balashikha is by train. It departs every hour from the Kursk railway station, and the travel time will take you half an hour. Fixed-route taxis and buses to all districts of Balashikha always pass by the city station. More and more citizens began to choose the railway mode of transport due to endless traffic jams. So keep in mind: if you are going to Balashikha after 4 pm, there may be no more seats in the carriage. Since Balashikha is divided into several districts and some of them are located at a distance from the center, and the route must be chosen, focusing on which district you need to get to. For example, if you go by train to the new Yantarny microdistrict, it will take a very long time to get from the station along Balashikha by public transport. But if you take a minibus from the Shchelkovskaya metro station, it will get out faster and easier, since the area is located just on the Shchelkovskoye highway not far from the Moscow Ring Road. It will be more convenient and faster to use the minibus for those who need to get into their neighborhoods. Gagarin, Novy Svet (Balashikha 9), Lukino. For those wishing to get to the city center, it is better to get to the Novogireevo metro station and take a fixed-route taxi there. There is a public transport near the metro, which is ready to take you to the center of Balashikha and to its most remote districts - Yuzhny or Saltykovka. Motorists have the largest choice of options for the way to Balashikha. After all, three federal highways pass through the city at once: Entuziastov Highway (Nizhegorodskoe highway), Shchelkovskoe and Nosovikhinskoe. Enthusiasts Highway runs through the entire city and is the busiest highway not only in Moscow, but also in the region. Since a huge number of traffic lights operate along the entire route in Balashikha, traffic jams in the city begin at the exit from Moscow and end at the border with the Noginsk district. If you need to get to the city center, there is no way out. But if your destination is, for example, the Balashikha 2 (Field of Miracles) area, it is better to drive along the Shchelkovskoe highway. It is better to use the Nosovikhinsky highway for those who want to get to the Saltykovka and Yuzhny microdistricts. If you still have to go along the Enthusiasts highway, but you do not need to cross the entire city, turn at the first traffic light near the military unit. You will find yourself on the so-called Balashikha highway, which will lead you to a fork in the traffic light. There you will already, according to the situation, choose which place in the city you need.
