If you do want a taxi LEAVING DME, there's a booth where you prepay, right? Does anyone know how many rubles that is? We're 3 people, so it's not like taking the train is going to save us tons of money.
We used
go-to.ru which costs 1450 rubles from DME to the city and 1200 rubles from the city to DME. Change the price from dollars to rubles on their site, as the dollar rates that are quoted are based on a bad exchange rate. We booked it online and paid the driver.
It took almost an hour going from the HI Sokolniki to DME on a Sunday morning. On the way into town we arrived at SVO (from LED) so I can't comment on the DME-Sokolniki time.
