Hi, Armand! The transport system of Omsk includes: buses, trolleybuses, minicabs (marshrutka), taxi, trams. Also, we have only one station of subway ) because the government has always not enough money to finish building of subway. Minicabs are very unsafe. This kind of transport is for extremely oriented people.
In these later days a road system is overloaded and here is a lot of traffic jams. And the roads are looking like after bombardment even in central streets. They have very poor quality of pavement. This is another reason that the roads are unsafe for driving and people. You should use the taxi or traveling by feet.
