• Long-distance trains

  On the outskirts of the Avtozavodsky district of Togliatti is the railway station of Togliatti. This is a dead-end station, so only one train from Samara runs to it - passing Adler-Togliatti, and only in summer. The train is night, it takes two and a half hours.

Samara and Togliatti are connected by a section of the M5/E30 highway. It is better to go along the "new road" (100 kilometers), which is accessed from the main street of the city - the Moscow highway. A small section of this road is designated as a motorway, i.e. it can be driven at speeds up to 110 km/h, the road will take 60-90 minutes.

Another option is the so-called "old road", which starts along Novo-Sadovaya Street, runs along the Volga bank. This way is 10 kilometers shorter than the new route, but you will lose more time here, because the road is narrower and slower. In addition, at the beginning of 2018, a protracted reconstruction continues on it, further complicating traffic.

If you are going to the Avtozavodsky district of Togliatti, it is better to go not through the city, but along the bypass road. You can enter the Central and Komsomolsky districts directly from the M5 highway.

Whichever route you choose, you should observe the speed limit, since automatic speed cameras are installed everywhere, and non-stationary cameras are often set up.
