Metro transit aims to make nextrip more reliable.

Metro Transit's NexTrip service is extremely popular, accessed nearly 80 million times last year by transit riders seeking real-time schedules for buses and the Northstar commuter rail.

But dependable ? Not so much. It accurately predicts bus arrivals and departures just 65-75% of the time on good days — and performs even worse on days with bad weather or when heavy traffic delays buses.

That's why the transit agency will spend $972,000 on new software to provide more accurate schedule information for riders.

"We know customers depend on information, and it's really important to meet their expectations for accuracy," said Laura Matson, Metro Transit's program manager of real-time customer information. The ability to find detour information was the second-lowest rated item on Metro Transit's 2018 customer survey.

"It is something we definitely hear about," Matson said. "Customers are reasonable in expecting reliable information."

Mark Thomas, who for the past 11 years had taken Route 764 from his home in New Hope to his job in downtown Minneapolis, would welcome the upgrade. He said he gets bus information from other sources like the Transit app, which is not affiliated with Metro Transit, after several people told him NexTrip was not reliable. But that could change if NexTrip were more accurate.

"If they can make their 'Show My Bus' [feature] better, I just might go there first," Thomas said. "If I can throw an app away, I'm all for that."

Precise arrival information is a lifesaver in the winter, said Thomas, who walks two blocks to his stop. When he has it, he said, he can "time it perfectly." When information is not available, "I just have to wing it and hope I'm there when the bus comes."

The most frustrating part, he said, is never knowing if it's accurate or not.

NexTrip debuted in the late 2000s and has been tweaked here and there. But the new software from Cambridge Systematics Inc. will be the first major upgrade to the system in about a decade, Matson said.

Metro Transit chose the firm from Medford, Mass., after its product outperformed another company's during a two-month trial last fall. The Cambridge Systematics software made accurate predictions 80-85% of the time. Metro Transit's NexTrip was the worst performing system of those used during the trial.

The existing NexTrip system is basic, Matson said. GPS units on buses send information about the location of a bus to NexTrip about every 8 seconds and predicts arrival times at future stops based on that location. But it can't adjust predictions if a bus gets stuck in a traffic jam or spends extra time at a stop.

The new software would have more input points and use an algorithm that can better recognize how quickly other buses are passing specific checkpoints. If traffic on Snelling Avenue near the State Fairgrounds is stacked up and buses are not moving, the new software would be able to recognize that and adjust its predictions, Matson said.

"It would see the A-line [rapid bus] is taking a long time to get through in a place that normally takes three minutes," Matson said. "It will learn based on how other vehicles are traveling through the area."

The new software will also give Metro Transit the ability to push its data to Google — an industry standard that NexTrip can't meet now, Matson said.

"That is a huge benefit," said Matson, who noted Google is a popular tool for riders seeking Metro Transit information.

The upgrade won't be a cure-all, but Matson said it will be a "meaningful improvement for our riders" at a time when bus ridership is declining. Ridership is down at least 16% from 2015, according to an agency spokesman.

The Metropolitan Council approved the contract with Cambridge Systematics on Wednesday. The software could be installed and operating by spring, Matson said.

The eclipse has passed. The sun has incinerated the last remaining snowflakes of Canada’s winter. Which means Montreal’s super cyclists have escaped from their exercise-bike-equipped basements and taken back the smooth tarmac of Circuit Gilles Villeneuve from the F1 racecars. Sometimes we ride down on our fixed gear bikes to watch the roadies pedal in circles for hours and hours in their skintight suits, like they’re training to be the prettiest horse at the Kentucky Derby. Back home at Transit HQ, we’ve made the usual spring cleaning adjustments, and more: - We’ve added bikeshare fare info to the app (in select cities, more to come) so you can see how much a ride on those metal tanks will run you - New iOS emojis have been christened and added to our GO nickname generator - Real-time data for nearby lines should now load a picosecond or two faster (by prioritizing downloads for visible lines first, and then downloading real-time for ones further away as you scroll down the list of lines) - Other bug fixes and aerodynamic improvements Rate us five stars to put Sriracha in the roadies’ bike bottles for extra motivation.

Lots of apps can offer driving directions—but what if you’re not driving at all? That’s where Transit comes in. The travel planning app shows you how to get from point A to point B via train, bus, rideshare—and now even bikeshare and scooter. The app will seek out your best route, offer a few alternate options, and let you know how long you can expect to be in transit.

I LOVE this app but just a suggestion

I really LOVE this app I use it ALL OVER the United States when I've traveled in/to Las Vegas, NV to Florida to NYC, I've recommend it to many of my friends throughout the States even in Hawaii. I think it would be neat to "ADD" to the app a route of our own from "Loc-A to Loc-B" besides what's offered, to see at times which way may be more economical in timeframe. I know many many routes of traveling from using the (San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency) SFMTA - The Bay Area/Golden Gate, (Regional Transportation Authority) RTC/Duce - Sin City, (Regional Transit Authority of Tennessee) RTA - Music City, and (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) MTA - The Big Apple, etc. You get the point. The way I go at times is much faster even if I have to transfer alot it doesn't bother me, but it never pops up. I have to calculate backwards & forwards, guesstimate and hope I get it right. In addition, sometimes just sometimes we should also be able to add delays or if the bus is ahead of schedule. Ex: If something happened on the road that's delaying the buses but really has nothing to do with mechanical issues or if a bus is running behind or ahead of schedule so that perhaps other people who are using the app may find alternate routes to their location(s) instead of looking like a slow loris perplexed waiting for a bus that may have or may not have pass by.

My GO-to transit app in Miami-Dade.

I been a fan since the days of its origins when the app was a necessity to track live down the busses. And although it was lucky matter to see a bus on live tracking since very few will be using it on the Go feature, the interface was more user friendly and the app didn’t freeze as much as the official one from the county. I never reviewed an app before and much less type this much but credit is well due on this one. Thank you to the entire team behind this app because the work you guys have put into it shows very well and make it worth a payable subscription. The new ticketing feature makes the cherry at top. I struggled with digital passes thru the official county app and all because I forgot to unlock my card one time for the charge and now it seems like my card is banned from direct onboard usage or even on the app to buy passes or credits. So transit now saves my life by not only allowing one way passes purchase that can be used later on another time but also digitalizing passes and takes any card on my apple wallet. Paying the subscription really makes it better app than the official one by interface and ease to get the info needed and to the destination! Congratulations guys for your great work, it is highly appreciated and valued.

Moscow Metro: The Complete Guide

The Moscow Metro is busy, but easy to use

Robert Schrader

With nearly 7 million riders per day on its 16 lines, the Moscow Metro is the sixth-busiest metro system in the world as of March 2019. Riding the Moscow Metro, however, does not need to be a stressful experience. In fact, it's by far the easiest and most enjoyable way to get around Moscow, especially since many Moscow Metro stations are veritable works of art. Our guide to the public transportation will teach you how to ride the Metro and more.

How to Ride the Moscow Metro

Here is some essential practical information you need to know to easily and seamlessly ride the Moscow Metro.

• Fares: Moscow Metro fares start at 55 rubles for a one-way ticket, which is good for five days after purchase. You'll pay more if your journey takes you outside of the central Moscow zones of A and B, though this is not the case for most tourists.
• How to Pay: Cash is the only way to buy a one-way ticket. However, if you have Apple Pay or Samsung Pay, you can tap your phone directly at the ticket gate and enter using NFC technology. You can also use both mobile payments and credit cards to top-up your reloadable Troika card.
• Routes and Hours: The Moscow Metro has 13 lines that snake and criss-cross the city, plus outer and inner loop lines that string them together, as well as a monorail. The Moscow Metro is open from approximately 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., and trains run with a frequency that can range between 1 and 7 minutes.
• Service Alerts: Download the official MosMetro app on the AppStore or Google Play .
• Transfers: Regardless of how you pay to enter the Moscow Metro, you can transfer to any of the core lines plus the Moscow Monorail without passing through an additional ticket gate. If you wish to transfer to bus lines, airport trains or other rail services, paying with Troika or your mobile device might be more convenient.
• Accessibility: Although Moscow Metro is impressive and modern in many ways, it is not very accessible . Visitors who use wheelchairs should try to avoid the subway and take aboveground transportation instead.

Beautiful Moscow Metro Stations

The Moscow Metro has achieved internet notoriety — and not just because of how busy it is. Several Moscow Metro stations are distractingly beautiful, including:

• Aviamotornaya: Brilliant gold themed to the flight of Icarus.
• Komsomolskaya: Bright yellow ceilings and murals chronicling Russia's journey to independence.
• Mayakovskaya: Art Deco, featuring mosaic ceilings and pink marble floor
• Park Pobedy: Modern station (built in 2003) with colorful murals; one of the deepest metro stations in the world (276 feet below ground!).
• Ploschad Revolutsii: Constructed in 1938 at the height of Soviet pride, this station is home to bronze statues that locals still rub for good luck.

Although it's technically legal to take pictures within the Moscow Metro, guards might approach you if you spend too long photographing a particular station, or use professional equipment like a tripod. Be as discreet as possible to avoid an uncomfortable confrontation!

Other Moscow Public Transit

In addition to the (mostly) subterranean transport offered by the Moscow Metro, Russia's capital is home to a number of aboveground transport options. This includes a large network of buses, as well as trams and "trolley buses." While these are all cheaper than the Moscow Metro, they also require some command of Russian to use; the ordinary buses are also subject to sitting in Moscow's terrible traffic.

In terms of payment, your Moscow Metro ticket isn't valid for transit to any other form of transit, though a Troika card will allow you to do so seamlessly. Likewise, while the various Aeroexpress trains (between Sheremetyevo Airport and Belorussky Station, Domodedovo Airport and Paveletsky Station and between Vnukovo Airport and Kievsky Station) feature modern vehicles and offer fast, reliable connections to Moscow's major airports, these lines are not considered to be part of the Moscow Metro system.

As noted earlier, the Moscow Metro is technically organized by "Zone," with the center of Moscow being occupied by the "A" and "B" zone. Again, you shouldn't worry too much about this. If you're hanging out in the parts of the city, you probably speak enough Russian to be able to ask a local for advice!

Taxis and Ride Sharing Apps

The bad news? It is exceedingly unlikely that a taxi drive in Moscow will speak English. The good news? Uber works in Moscow as of March 2019, which means that if you have the app installed on your smartphone (and a Russian SIM card, which you can pick up at Moscow Airport), your next Moscow ride is basically a matter of plug-and-play.

Russia also has a number of homegrown ride sharing apps, though these aren't as ubiquitous as Uber — they also don't have good English-language interfaces. If you're interested in learning more about them, in any case, be sure to visit the websites of InDriver or Taxi Maxim . Keep in mind that many of these applications require Russian credit cards, or a Russian bank account to pay for rides.

Security-wise, the technological aspect of using ride sharing apps in Russia makes them relatively safe. On the other hand, taxis have a dodgy reputation at best. If you do end up needing to take a taxi in Moscow, make sure to use a registered car. The ones waiting at the airport stands are generally legitimate; within the city limits, try and have your hotel call a taxi to be safe.

Renting a Car in Moscow

Traffic in Moscow is reliably awful, to say nothing of how difficult navigating the city's serpentine network of ring roads and one-way streets can be. However, if you do want to rent a car in Moscow (or in Russia, more generally) there are some facts you should keep in mind.

Documentation wise, it's not officially necessary to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) — your US driver's license will work, at least if you plan to drive in Russia for less than six months. However, it might serve you well to get an IDP (you can apply at your local AAA office) for peace of mind. In Russia as in the US, you drive on the right side of the road; gas costs about 40 rubles per liter, or about $2.40 per gallon.

Another potential downfall of renting a car of Russia is the threat of interactions with Russian traffic police. While this doesn't put you in any mortal danger, there is a chance you'll have to bribe your way out of any confrontation, which outside the center of Moscow or other Russian cities will almost certainly necessitate some Russian language or body language skills.

Tips for Getting Around Moscow

Regardless of whether you take the Moscow Metro or any of the other transportation options listed here, these general tips for getting around Moscow will serve you well:

• Moscow's city center is very walkable. Unless you're visiting on a bitterly cold day during the middle of winter, many of Moscow's attractions are close enough together that you could walk. For example, you can easily walk from Red Square to Gorky Park, Bolshoy Theatre , Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts , the Kremlin or simply along the Moskva River.
• All roads lead to Red Square. Although Moscow is not a grid-pattern city, it is relatively organized. The majority of major roads start and end at Red Square; the rest are circular ones that connect the "spokes" from Red Square. With this basic idea in mind, it's pretty difficult to get lost in Moscow!
• Moscow's awful traffic means that rail is usually the quickest option. Even if the physical distance between two places is shorter by car, traveling via the Moscow Metro is probably going to be quicker.
• English signage in Moscow has greatly improved over the years. On the other hand, familiarizing yourself with the Cyrillic alphabet before your trip to Russia probably wouldn't be a bad idea. If you need to push someone out of the way (spoiler alert: you probably will!), say izvineetye (sorry) to excuse yourself.
• Petty theft is common, especially during rush hour. Wear your backpack in front of your body, and don't keep large amounts of cash (or your smartphone!) in your back pocket. Hide any conspicuous signs of wealth to avoid being a target!

The Moscow Metro is easy to use—once you get the hang of it. After all, more than two billion trips take place across its rails every year. If it were difficult, this simply wouldn't be possible!

11 Most Underrated Towns In Pennsylvania To Take A Trip To

Several factors draw tourists to Pennsylvania , from a rich Revolutionary War history and beautiful natural landscapes to captivating annual festivals. While famous cities like Pittsburg and Philadelphia grab the headlines with their towering skyscrapers and electric nightlife, several charming towns away from the major highways remain grossly overlooked. But even with a small fraction of travelers visiting them, they deliver a fresh and exciting experience.

From quaint mill villages along pristine waterways to historic railroad towns in scenic valleys, these underrated destinations invite tourists to explore the true heart and soul of the Keystone State. They promise the perfect off-the-beaten-path adventure in the state's backcountry with their captivating history, unique culture, rich natural scenery, and wealth of outdoor opportunities. On your next travel itinerary, skip the crowds in the city and embrace the ambiance of these underrated small towns in Pennsylvania.

Although its name generates a substantial level of interest, there is so much more about Lititz compelling tourists to book a ticket to the town. This charming Lancaster County borough offers a range of attractions to address all tastes and preferences. It has an interesting history intertwined with Moravian settlers that is well documented at the Lititz Historical Foundation, promising to delight visiting historians. Lititz notably plays host to the oldest pretzel bakery in the country, established in 1861. The Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery is still operating to date, and guests can tour the antique brick structure to savor a taste of America's "original" pretzel.

Lititz offers travelers generous opportunities to experience its delightful small-town charm by exploring its secluded green spaces. Many visitors gather at Lititz Springs Park to revel in a tranquil oasis in the middle of the town. Numerous accommodation options ensure your nightly stay is well catered for in Lititz, including Lititz Springs Inn.

A mixture of unique history, interesting culture, heritage, and scenic natural scenery makes Jim Thorpe a darling for tourists on a Pennsylvania itinerary. Set in the heart of the Pocono Mountains , the town is surrounded by a picturesque wilderness, flanked by rolling hills and dense forests, especially irresistible with the changing foliage in spring. By boarding the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway for a sightseeing tour, visitors can fully appreciate the wonderland that is the Pocono Mountains.

Jim Thorpe's rustic charm screams from the cluster of historic sites it harbors, providing visitors with an interesting perspective of its bygone eras. Historians can explore gems like the Asa Packer Mansion Museum, a 19th-century homestead that once housed the coal and railroad entrepreneur Asa Packer. Meanwhile, the Mauch Chunk Museum and Cultural Center will shed light on the colorful history of Jim Thorpe, including how it ended up being named after an iconic Native American athlete. When it is time to rest at the end of the day, consider checking into the historic Harry Packer Mansion Inn for a rustic accommodation experience.

Pennsylvania stands out for its storied past, and York is one of the most historically significant towns in Pennsylvania you can visit. This unassuming destination served as the nation's first capital as the city birthed the Articles of Confederation. Strolling through its historic downtown, York's heritage comes full circle with the display of old-world architecture and a cluster of historical landmarks. Notable among these is Bonham House, 19th century Colonial Revival home representing middle-class family life in old-world York. The Appell Center for the Performing Arts is another historic venue that continues to captivate audiences with diverse stage shows.

York promises opportunities for all, including the outdoorsy traveler. At Rocky Ridge Park, adventurers can access countless recreation amenities in the open, ranging from walking trails and picnic pavilions to ball fields. There is no shortage of hotel options with the presence of Wyndham Garden York and the Yorktowne Hotel, among others.

Grove City is home to Grove City College and comprises a sizable student population that helps inject a vibrant aura into the town's atmosphere. The presence of Robert E. Thorn Field attracts droves of sports fans, especially during football and athletics seasons. Grove City is also known for its premium shopping opportunities, and those craving a remarkable retail therapy session can head to Grove City Premium Outlets. Housing more than 100 stores, visitors get to shop from big-name brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, and Adidas.

Multiple green spaces and park areas across Grove City make it a prime destination for nature lovers. Among its top tourist draws is Keystone Safari, a small but charming zoo offering travelers awesome encounters with exotic species from around the world. While there are countless lodging choices in Grove City, Best Western Grove City Inn is among the top-rated offerings.

This eastern Pennsylvania town is famous for its string of festivals and storied historical heritage. Running throughout the year, New Hope's festivals and fairs are a significant tourist draw and serve as the best times to visit the small town, including the New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival. However, the fun continues outside the festival season. New Hope hosts a couple of historical sites hinting at its captivating past. The 1784 Parry Mansion Museum is a popular stop among history buffs and offers a window into pre-Victorian era New Hope.

Art plays a vital part in the local community, and enthusiasts can delight in a number of venues that showcase entertaining local productions, as highlighted by the Bucks County Playhouse. New Hope impresses with its mix of hotel options, although many people gravitate towards Olivia's Bridge Street Inn for its historic charm.

A historic river town in Venango County, Franklin charms visitors with its antique flair, written all over the old-world architecture decorating its downtown district. A walk through the neighborhood feels like a journey back in time. It is an opportunity to soak in sights like the gorgeous St. John's Episcopal Church, representing the best of Victorian-era architecture in Franklin. The arts scene remains vibrant in the town, a credit to venues like Barrow-Civic Theater. This premium performance venue hosts a spectacular series of events featuring concerts, plays, and operas.

Franklin's location at the confluence of the Allegheny River and the French Creek presents awesome riverine adventures courtesy of local outfitters like Outdoor Allegheny River Services. Guests can enjoy a remarkable canoeing or kayaking trip down the river. And after a long day of fun, the nearby Holiday Inn Express & Suites assures them of a rejuvenating night's sleep.

Stroudsburg

Stroudsburg is another hidden gem in the Pocono Mountains region, boasting exquisite natural surroundings with a magnetic effect on nature lovers. Taking a scenic tour aboard the Pocono Daytripper offers the fastest way to soak in as much as possible of the beautiful wilderness enveloping the town. But if you want a more up-close experience, you can head to the nearby Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, where a range of recreational opportunities, including kayaking, fishing, and hiking, await.

When not discovering Stroudsburg's enchanting outdoors, tourists can sample its lively winery scene at Eagles Rest Cellars. The establishment produces a variety of award-winning wines from the beautiful Cherry Valley worth a taste. When it comes to lodging, the Penn Stroud is just one of the many options in the town.

With its vast network of parks, sprawling forests, and river adventures, Ohiopyle is the ultimate escape for outdoor enthusiasts. Most tourists come to explore the over 20,000-acre Ohiopyle State Park, home to an array of thrilling adventures and recreational activities. This rugged wilderness features multiple waterfalls that are a popular subject for photographers. Hikers can also take on secluded trails to discover local wildlife and explore the scenery of Ferncliff Peninsula Natural Area.

Meanwhile, several local outfitters, such as Laurel Highlands River Tours and Outdoor Center, provide adrenaline-rushing rafting excursions down the choppy waters of the Youghiogheny River to make for an unforgettable experience. Ohiopyle's outdoorsy atmosphere calls for rustic accommodation, which you can find at the Ohiopyle Suites.

The first thing to do upon arrival in Farmington is to check into the famous Nemacolin resort to guarantee soothing night stays. This modest community boasts a broad range of attractions, highlighted by Fort Necessity National Battlefield, which preserves the site of the first battle in the French and Indian War. There are many more historical treasures to discover in the town, with the Mt. Washington Tavern taking tourists back to the 1800s. This building was once a stop for the Good Intent stage coaches and displays furnishings and other artifacts from its heyday.

Besides the captivating history, travelers come to Farmington for the Laurel Caverns. Considered the largest cave in Pennsylvania, the natural gem presents an unforgettable underground adventure with stunning rock formations to explore.

America's Revolutionary War history comes to life in the charming community of Gettysburg, which played a crucial role in changing the course of the infamous conflict. It was the site of the Battle of Gettysburg, which visitors can still witness inside the Gettysburg National Military Park. An on-site museum offers a look into the battle through a series of Civil War artifacts, including antique weapons.

But there is no shortage of historical treasures to explore in the town, which hosts a series of historic homes providing a window into bygone eras. The Shriver House Museum is one among many and dates back to the 1860s. It documents the life of an ordinary family and how it was affected by the Civil War. Gettysburg was once the hometown of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and tourists come to explore his legacy at the Eisenhower National Historic Site. Hotel options in Gettysburg include the Gettysburg Hotel and the Federal Pointe Inn.

This former mining town in Lehigh County offers visitors a little bit of everything to ensure a remarkable vacation. Emmaus' historical heritage involves its founding in 1759 and the discovery of iron ore in the early 1850s century. Those looking for a deep dive can visit the Emmaus Historical Society to browse a vast collection of artifacts documenting the town's past. Several trails run through its territory, offering the opportunity to explore a beautiful, wild nature space synonymous with the Lehigh Valley region. Outdoor adventurers will fancy immersing in the sprawling Wildlands Conservancy's South Mountain Preserve, which covers about 400 acres.

Elsewhere, a trip to Emmaus would not be complete without tasting its world-class craft brews. A tout of Yergey Brewing introduces you to a fantastic selection of local brews alongside cocktails and ciders. Hotel options abound in nearby Allentown , including the Holiday Inn Express.

Final Thought

From charming river valleys to scenic mountain hideaways, these unheralded towns in Pennsylvania demonstrate the charm and fun visitors are missing out on off the beaten path. They harbor a rich mix of experiences in the backcountry that could easily rival the hype in the big cities. Whether soaking in unique historical heritage, partaking in rare traditions, or getting lost in an unending wilderness, each destination guarantees lifetime memories of the Keystone State's untouched appeal and may just compel you to schedule a repeat visit.

Your Complete Guide to Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO)

December 04, 2018

Airport Guides

We’re probably not telling you anything you don’t already know when we tell you that “going to the airport” isn’t exactly on everyone’s bucket list. But just like every destination is different, so is every airport. And just as navigating a new city is challenging in and of itself, so is navigating a new airport. How do I get from one terminal to the next? What are the best airport restaurants? Is there anything to do if I have a long layover?

If you’re anything like us, then these are probably the types of questions you have that perhaps you don’t get push notifications for. But never fear, because we have answers to your airport questions with our series of guides to the world’s top airports. Today we bring you the TripIt airport guide to Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO) .

Sheremetyevo International Airport is one of three major airports serving Moscow. It's also Russia’s busiest airport, seeing more than 40 million passengers last year. Originally built as a military airfield for the Soviet Air Force, SVO has been a commercial airport since 1959. It has two main terminal areas, the north and south, which are linked by complimentary bus service. SVO is a primary base for Aeroflot and served by many of the major international airlines.

Sheremetyevo International Airport is located approximately 18 miles (30 km) from Central Moscow. By car or taxi, the airport is at least a 30-minute drive from Central Moscow. Public transportation services the airport from multiple public transit stations, but the quickest way to and from Central Moscow is on the Aeroexpress . Located inside the airport, the Aeroexpress takes 35 minutes and transfers passengers to Belorussky Railway Terminal. Additionally, several  car sharing services are available, and car rental operators are located on the first floor of Terminal D.

Travelers flying through SVO will find a number of familiar fast-service restaurants, including Burger King, Subway, Starbucks, McDonald's, and KFC. Other restaurants for on-the-go items include Teremok (Terminal D), Ramen Club (Terminal F), Surf’n’Fries (Terminal F), and Kroshka Kartoshka (terminals B, D, F), which is one of Russia’s largest chains.

Restaurants of the sit-down variety include T.G.I Friday's (terminals D and F), Spaten (Terminal E) for beer and steak, Pyatyy Okean (Terminal F), Phố Phở (Terminal B),  Mama Russia (terminals B and D), Magadan (terminals B and D), Lunch Point (Terminal F), La Pasteria (Terminal D), and Factory (Terminal D). SVO has many more restaurants, as well as a number of cafes and coffee shops, which you can view on the airport’s website . Finally, look out for the caviar vending machine.  

Many of the restaurants listed above—such as Spaten, specializing in beer—double as great spots to enjoy a drink at Sheremetyevo International Airport. Elsewhere, enjoy a selection of Russian beer paired with sausage at Sibirskaya Korona (Terminal D) and  Krušovice (Terminal B), or Irish fare and beer at Guinness Pub&Kitchen (Terminal E) and  The Irish Bar (terminals B and F). Other bars include American Bar and Grill (Terminal B), Forshtadt Altai (Terminal D), O'Learys (Aeroexpress Terminal), and Schofferhofer (Terminal D).  

Like most international airports, Sheremetyevo International Airport has a plethora of shops, including names you’re probably familiar with, like Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, COACH, Swarovski, and Bvlgari. Unique to SVO, however, is its  History Museum of Sheremetyevo , which is located on the fifth floor of Terminal F. The museum features exhibits, aviation paraphernalia and other items that tell the history of the airport. Also unique to SVO is its own spa, located on the second floor of the Moscow Business Lounge (Terminal D), and featuring a number of treatments for men and women. Other airport amenities include shower rooms and a salon in the Arrivals hall on the first floor of Terminal E. If you want to get some sleep, GettSleep is located in Terminal D, featuring individual sleep capsules with flexible hourly rates, free Wi-Fi, shower cabins, a co-working area and more.

Airport Lounges

Sheremetyevo International Airport has no shortage of business lounges, including the Gallery Lounge (occupying two floors in Terminal D), the Matryoshka Lounge (Terminal D), Moscow Lounge (Terminal D), Space Lounge (Terminal E), Classic Lounge (Terminal F), and Rublev Lounge (Terminal B)—which holds the record for longest buffet of any business lounge in the world. Most of these are available free for priority passengers, certain flight statuses and some cardholders. They're available to other guests for a fee. SVO's more prestigious lounges include the Mastercard Lounge in Terminal E and VIP lounges in terminals B, D, E and F.

Vladimir Putin used his Victory Day speech this morning to warn that Russia's combat forces were "always ready".

But he admitted the country was going through a "difficult period".

We aren't bringing you live updates today, but here is the main story this morning.

Vladimir Putin has just finished speaking at Russia's annual Second World War victory parade.

The president, now in his fifth term, said that Russia will do all it could to avoid a global confrontation, amid rising rhetoric about a face-off with NATO.

Mr Putin, however, said it would not allow any nation or alliance to threaten Russia.

As he's said multiple times since he invaded Ukraine, the Russian leader warned the West that his nuclear forces were always at a state of combat readiness. 

He was addressing scores of troops in Moscow's Red Square - here are the best images from the Russian capital...

Kosovo's foreign minister has said her country is convinced Russia must lose the war in Ukraine for conflict not to spread further in Europe.

Donika Gervalla-Schwarz said her young nation's support for Ukraine was unconditional - despite Kyiv not having recognised Kosovo's independence.

Ms Gervalla-Schwarzd her small Balkan nation, which declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, is repeatedly reminded of the aggressive intentions of both Serbia and its ally Russia.

"Ukraine hasn't recognised the Republic of Kosovo as a state, but we really believe that we know exactly what Ukraine is going through," she told The Associated Press in an interview.

"And we know that there is only one solution, not only for Ukraine, but for Europe," she said.

"It can only be Russia to lose the war and Ukraine to win this war. Otherwise, Europe should prepare for other conflicts in our continent."

The people of Kosovo were the targets of war crimes and other atrocities by Serbia's security forces in the 1990s, an experience that led Kosovo to seek independence.

"While Kosovo is a small state with very modest possibilities to help, we have tried to be very helpful with Ukraine and have not hesitated to show our unconditional support and sympathy to the people and to the state of Ukraine," Ms Gervalla-Schwarz said.

Lord Cameron has called the UK's measures on a Russian defence attache "an unequivocal message" to Moscow. 

The foreign secretary was replying to James Cleverly's post on X in which he said the Home Office expelled a Russian defence attache as part of a series of measures against the country.

Other measures in the package include removing the diplomatic premises status from several Russian owned properties in the UK and capping the amount of time Russian diplomats can spend in the UK.

Budapest is once again raising eyebrows across the world's biggest military alliance as it pledges to defy a NATO initiative. 

The alliance's long-term plan to support Ukraine militarily was agreed in April, but was dubbed a "crazy mission" by Hungary's foreign minister today. 

Under the plans, NATO would take over some coordination work from a US-led coalition known as the Ramstein group.

Discussing the plans today, Peter Szijjarto said: "Hungary will stay out of NATO's crazy mission despite all the pressure."

Relations between Budapest and NATO have soured because of Hungary's foot-dragging over the ratification of Sweden's NATO accession - finally passed by Budapest in March - and also over nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban's close ties with Moscow. 

The Russian embassy in London has said there will be "an appropriate response" after Britain expelled a Russian defence attache.

The embassy said the restrictions that had been imposed were done under a "groundless and ridiculous pretext", according to Russian state news agency TASS.

It comes after Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova was reported as telling journalists that the Kremlin will respond appropriately following the expulsion.

It's always assumed defence attaches play some kind of role gatherling intelligence and that is generally tolerated by their host countries. 

They could be gathering data about weapons production for instance or ship building but there is a line they are expected not to cross. 

The assumption here is that the Russians have broken the rules of the game.

But the British government will have thought long and hard before expelling the Russian. It doesn't come without cost.

In their day jobs defence attaches play a crucial role in liaising with their hosts.  That can be very important in terms of avoiding misunderstandings that could lead to unnecessary and dangerous escalation. 

Losing Russia’s defence attache in London deprives the UK of one more line of liaison at a time when clear understanding and clarification could be essential to avoiding deepening conflict.

That is not ideal at a time of war. 

What is not clear is how much these moves are connected specifically to the conduct of the Russians involved or should they actually be seen more as another chapter in the diplomatic war underway between Russia and the UK.

The UK has undoubtedly weakened Russia's ability to spy in the UK and gather intelligence but these measures will also affect Britain's ability to predict and avoid potential escalation. 

That will be made even worse if Russia, as may be expected, responds with like-for-like retaliation

Seven people have been injured by Russian shelling in eastern Kharkiv, according to the region's governor.

Oleg Synegubov said among those wounded was an eight-year-old girl and three boys, two aged 14 and the other 15. 

"Two [of the] boys are in serious condition, [the other] boy and [the] girl are in average condition," he said. 

One 55-year-old civilian of unspecified gender was also hospitalised. 

Two women had minor injuries. 

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has offered his thoughts on the expulsion of a Russian defence attache the government has accused of being an undeclared military intelligence officer. 

"Today we've expelled Russia's defence attache who has been working as an intelligence officer for Putin in the UK," he said on X. 

"We will not tolerate Putin’s efforts to undermine our nation and democracy and will continue to stand up for freedom here and in Ukraine."
