You can reach any small railway station near Irkutsk via these trains.
There are a number of hydrofoil routes down the river Angara and up to Lake Baikal. They run only in the summer time.

BUSES, TROLLEY BUSES (electric buses), and TRAMS (on
tracks)
operate on an honour system. Tickets (called "taloni") are the same
for all three and can be purchased in a 10-pack from the driver, at kiosks situtated
near bus stops, and at some other kiosks. To validate your ticket, slide it
into the top of one of the devices mounted on the walls, and punch it. During
the day, especially in the city centre, these forms of transportation can get
extremely crowded. People often pass their tickets through the crowd to someone
standing near a punching device. If you are handed a ticket, please pass it
along or punch it and pass it back, as appropriate.
If you travel without a ticket and an inspector catches you, you will be fined 20,000 rubles. (Make sure to get a receipt when you pay the fine.)
Tram numbers are posted on small signs hanging on wires above the street. Trams stop in the middle of the street, but you can wait on the sidewalk. When a tram approaches, cars are obliged to stop and wait for passengers getting on and off the tram.
