I flew to Paris and back (Aeroflot/AirFrance) and the terminal for these flights was Sheremetyevo 3. Since the cab dropped me off at the old F terminal, I had to take a bus shuttle from SVO2. I was swamped by taxi drivers who explained that, "the shuttle runs only every hour or so, I'll take you to SVO3, not expensive only 500 rubles." - a trip of about 1km. I waited about 15 minutes for the bus.
Coming back I wanted to try the express train to the city. There is absolutely no sign at SVO3 that indicates there is even an express train, nor how to get to the required shuttle bus. The girls at the information kiosk seemed unwilling to give me the information, as if the train did not even exist. I finally found the bus stop, but a taxi driver convinced me that he was the better choice (in lieu of waiting for the bus, waiting for the train, train to the city, and a taxi in any case from there).
