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 were expecting a much longer taxi ride and didn't believe the guy at the desk (we used the taxi service booked at the hotel) when he said 1 -1 1/2 hours. Maybe it's because it was morning and traffic is flowing into the city instead of out of? All I know is we probably beat the metro/train time to DME.
We didn't take a taxi from DME, so can't help you there ... I'd be curious just to hear that information as well though.
