Although there are many taxi companies in Moscow, some that cater especially to Foreigners and women with children, there is also the old practice of hailing a car, any car. If you are in need of a ride somewhere you just act like you are hailing a taxi. If a driver has room, time and a desire to make a few rubles he will pull over and you and he agree on a price and drop off location. It is a practice frowned upon by all tourist advice information I've read and not one I ever intend to try, as there is ample public transportation here, but an interesting custom still.
