For several years, a meme picture has been circulating on the Internet - the emotional, obscene impressions of a provincial from Moscow. Among them there is the phrase: “Bus 483, that’s a damn number!” The logic behind the numbering of urban transport is indeed not always obvious. The Village found out on what basis numbers are assigned to buses, trolleybuses and trams.

Press service of State Unitary Enterprise "Mosgortrans"

All routes of urban passenger transport in the capital have single-digit, two-digit and three-digit numbers. This numbering has developed historically and does not change. On new routes, vehicles are assigned new numbers or numbers of previously canceled routes. All numbering is individual, but there are also coincidences: routes of different modes of transport can be designated the same way. So, tram No. 3, trolleybus No. 3 and bus No. 3 travel around the city, but they all follow different routes.

There is no need to assign four-digit numbers to new routes yet. There are, however, bus routes No. 1001, 1002 and 1004, which previously belonged to commercial carriers. In 2013, they were transferred to the management of Mosgortrans; for the convenience of passengers, the numbers were not changed.

Sometimes the specifics of a particular route are taken into account when numbering. For example, in Moscow there are several “social” directions of movement; they cover institutions of education, medicine, and social protection. The numbers of such routes begin with the letter C: C1, C2 and so on. There are also night routes of ground urban transport, these are buses No. H1, H2, H3. Letters are also used for shortened flights: they duplicate the busiest sections of the route. To make it easier for passengers to navigate, when entering such a route, the letter “k” (short) is added to the main number. There is, for example, bus route No. 709, which runs from the Orekhovo metro station to the Kashirskaya metro station, and there is No. 709k, which goes from the Orekhovo metro station to the Moskvorechye platform.

There is no special transport numbering system in Moscow - it is a wild mixture between route numbers from a hundred years ago, Stalin's, Brezhnev's and numbers from the 1990s. They all layered on top of each other.

There are also routes that are designated using letters. This may be a consequence of the fact that the transport route was once divided into two parts. It also happens that the route branches: the vehicle follows the route, and then its version, with the letter A added to its numbering, turns right. The option without such a letter continues to follow straight. All this, of course, causes confusion. City navigation is absolutely not user-friendly. If a person does not specialize in this topic, he is unlikely to know about any routes other than those that he needs.

In Soviet times, work was regularly carried out to optimize the urban transport system. They stopped doing this in the 90s, but now attempts are being resumed. Last year, not only the problem of transport numbering was raised, but also the question of the need for certain routes. It happens that they lose relevance: for example, there was a bus that took people to the factory. The enterprise was closed and people stopped going there, but the route continues to function. Does the city need it? But, unfortunately, so far this work has not led to a positive result.

Moscow public transport is a fairly extensive and developed network of urban passenger transport in the capital and surrounding areas.

Moscow is a densely populated metropolis, and therefore all types of public transport are represented here. In addition to the well-known Moscow metro, a large number of buses, trolleybuses, trams, minibuses, and electric trains run around the city.

There is also river transport, represented by motor ships and pleasure boats, mainly used by tourists for sightseeing trips.

All public transport in the capital is managed by Mosgortrans - http://www.mosgortrans.ru/. In the article we will talk in detail about each type of public transport, schedules and ticket prices, and which public transport is better to choose, for example in the morning.

In contact with

Metro

The metro is the most popular method of transportation among Muscovites and guests of the capital.

Half of the total daily passenger traffic passes through it every day.

In terms of the quality of structures, expressiveness of the architectural ensemble, technical equipment, operational characteristics and comfort, the capital's metro is significantly superior to foreign subways.

Each station is unique and looks like a museum with beautiful mosaics, huge chandeliers, bas-reliefs and columns.

It is worth noting: A big plus is the availability of free wi-fi in the metro.

Metro map

The Moscow metro ranks first in Europe in terms of load intensity. In total, the metro has 12 lines with a length of more than three hundred kilometers and 207 stations.

At first, a newcomer may get confused in the interweaving of metro lines, but they are all united by one ring line. For the convenience of passengers, there are signs in Russian and English on the walls, floor, and ceiling of the station.

Opening hours

All metro stations are open from 06.00 to 01.00 without a break for lunch and weekends. After closing, the last train goes to the final station.

Fare

Currently, there are several types of metro tickets:

1. The “Single Ticket” card is a universal simplified travel ticket for all types of public transport. One trip will cost 55 rubles, respectively, two will cost 110 rubles.
2. The limit for one or two trips is valid for five days, for twenty or more trips it is valid for three months. The higher the travel limit, the lower the fare. A pass for 20 trips costs 720 rubles, for 40 - 1440, for 60 - 1700. Thus, one route on a single card for 20 trips will cost 36 rubles. This is undoubtedly a pleasant bonus for those who plan to stay in Moscow for a week or more.
3. "90 minutes" card. This card is valid for 90 minutes. One trip costs 65 rubles, two - 130 rubles. A pass for 60 trips or more will cost 2,650 rubles.
4. Electronic cards "Strelka" and "Troika". They can be used to pay for travel on public transport. Upon receipt of them, you must leave a deposit of 50 rubles at the box office. You can top up the balance on your card from any terminal or using the special Moscow Metro mobile application. The cost of one trip in the metro, monorail and ground transport with a Troika card will be only 36 rubles. The card is valid for five years.
5. There are also social passes for students, Muscovites and pensioners. Many travel tickets were issued for various anniversaries and holidays. For example, a travel card dedicated to the year since the founding of the collectors' society.

A few recommendations for those who find themselves on the subway for the first time:

1. The stations have four or more exits to the city and, in order not to waste time, you need to move in advance closer to the center, the beginning, the end of the car.
2. Also, in order to save time, you need to remember the numbers of the cars that stop closest to the escalator.
3. It is advisable, unless there is an urgent need, not to get into the subway during rush hours, which occur in the early morning (07.00 - 09.00) and evening (17.00 - 20.00), since in the massive influx of people it will not be easy for a beginner to navigate the space.
4. Stations when moving to the center are announced by the voice of a man, in the opposite direction - by women. On the Circle Line: stations clockwise are announced in a man's voice, counterclockwise in a woman's voice.

Ground transportation

Buses, trolleybuses, trams are no less popular types of ground municipal transport among Muscovites. The route network of city buses covers not only the territory of the capital, but also nearby settlements.

State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans is an organization that maintains and is responsible for the operation of bus routes.

Recently, semi-express route No. 911 was launched (Vnukovo airport - Salaryevo metro station); during its operation, about half a million people used it. Muscovites appreciate this route for its speed and convenience.

Every day, semi-express buses deliver about 150 thousand people to their destinations. Thanks to additional dedicated lanes, bus speeds increase.

Ticket prices

The price of one bus ticket for one trip is 55 rubles. You can purchase it from the bus driver or use the “Unified” pass, which is sold at the metro ticket office or at the ticket office at the bus stop.

In addition to the “Unified”, there is a “TAT” travel card (trolleybus/bus/tram), and a “A” bus pass.
