We study the asymmetric drift in the Milky Way with the aid of the RAVE data. Then we apply the deduced asymmetric drift correction to the SEGUE data and reconstruct the behaviour of the rotation curve of the Milky Way in the extended solar neighbourhood. The rotation curve appears to be essentially flat. We supplement our data by tangent point measurements of the inner rotation curve and fit it by a density model of the Milky Way.
