First thing i need to say - both cities have huge traffic problems, rush hours are from the early morning till late eve, thus in my humble opinion the only "really fast" transport is the subway.
Anyway easiest way to find best route from point-to-point is to use this and this pages for Moscow and Saint-Petersburg transportations correspondingly.
Russian subway("metro" in russian) is not similar to other subways over the world. It was built when country name was USSR and subway was a symbol of USSR power and style. Most of central subway stations have magnificent interiors. But be ready that navigation across stations (transfer from line to line especially) will not be clear and easy.

Saint-Petersburg Airport
Ok, let's start!
Airport will be the first thing you'll see in Saint-Petersburg, i think. There are two separated airport terminals in Saint-Petersburg. First one - Pulkovo 1 for domestic flights and for international charter flights - this will be your destination airport if you arrive from Moscow for example, if you arriving to Russia directly from country - then you arrive to Pulkovo 2 - international terminal. If you need to transfer from international Pulkovo 2 to domestic Pulkovo 1 - you may take taxi (it will cost not less then 30$). Cheaper way is to take shared taxi (called "marshrutka" in Russian - that is minibusses with route number on front window) - it will cost about 1,5$ (1 EUR) - but be ready - it will be not easy to negotiate with a driver - most of them dont speak English. There are no tickets in "marshrutka" - you should pay directly to driver.
