St. Petersburg in the XXI century is very different from himself two decades ago. If in any year the 89th car on the streets of Leningrad can be counted on one hand (in any case, as evidenced by photographs of the Soviet period, even as a main avenue Nevsky was not filled with cars), then in 2009 the cars in the city frankly a lot.

Another feature – different parts of the city were separated from each other railroads. Railroads, as a rule, go on to most gray areas and create a double difficulty in overcoming barriers to work or home, a business meeting or on vacation.
