I'm flying to Moscow tomorrow for the first time, staying with a family through HOFA. Has anyone here experience with taking the train from SVO or a bus to a Metro? The Metro stop I need is Polejaevskaja. I know there are less expensive ways to get around and I prefer to be more adventurous and frugal than sure and expensive.

There is a train that goes straight to the Metro. Apparently it is fast and easy- but I was in Moscow a month before it opened.
I believe that you can ride the train to Belorusskaya, then change to the circular Kol'tsevaya line (line 5). Go one station (Krasno-Prenskaya) and change to the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya (line 7). Get off at your stop Polejaevskaja (also called Polezhaevskaya).
It should take about an hour.
Note- signs and direction on the metro are only in Cyrillic, so make sure to have your guidebook handy to know the actual spelling in their language!

Dear Randy,
I have just seen your message and am replying as I ,too, am going via HOFA to stay with a family in Polejaevskaya. Perhaps the same family;were you with the Nikitina family? Can you give me an overview of what it was like and what the transport was like in to the centre.Thanks in anticipation.Charles McCloy
