More than three dozen new city bus routes are preparing to open this year in Moscow. The plans of the capital's transport workers for the coming months will not let passengers get bored. For many destinations, carriers have yet to be selected and government contracts concluded with them. Mosgortrans will be responsible for the remaining new products.
“New model”: everything according to the old rules?
The largest number of route openings is expected in August-October 2018, when carriers selected based on the results of competitions will be able to begin operating. A little over two years after the auctions for servicing 211 routes, there is a need to close coverage gaps in several more directions. They can be divided into four groups: “working on mistakes”, “new social”, “New Moscow” and “new connections”.
On December 28, 2017, the Moscow Government signed Order No. 763-RP “On concluding long-term government contracts for the provision of transport services to the population on routes for regular transportation of passengers and luggage by road in city traffic.” An additional 8.88 billion rubles have been allocated for these purposes in the next five years. (2018 – 608.53 million rubles, 2019 – 1,723 million rubles, 2020 – 1,762 million rubles, 2021 – 1,747 million rubles, 2022 – 1,820 million rubles and 2023 – RUB 1,220 million). It is precisely these amounts that the State Institution “Transport Organizer” will be able to operate under the leadership of the Moscow Department of Transport, announcing auctions for the right to service new routes.
Like last time, carriers on the routes will work for five years. More precisely, their provision of services should end 2,009 calendar days from the date of conclusion of the government contract. Moreover, they must start the route no later than six months after signing this document and then carry out transportation for 1,826 days. It is planned to compete between carriers for 29 routes, on which 197 buses will operate (145 large, 18 medium and 34 small).
First of all, they decided to “work on the mistakes.” The first five “one route” competitions were announced the very next day after the above-mentioned order was signed - December 29, 2017. The remaining 24 routes were distributed among three competitive proposals announced on January 30, 2018.
The maximum initial price of contracts for all eight purchases announced by the Transportation Organizer in December-January is 7.646 billion rubles. More than a billion rubles allocated under the same order remain “in reserve” for now.
"Work on mistakes"
Not in all directions, after the launch of 211 routes according to the rules and the subsequent cancellation of “minibuses”, it was possible to eliminate the shortage of transport capacity. In some places, the move was to “squeeze” the maximum number of flights from the capabilities of existing contracts (increasing the volume of transportation by 10%). In some places the routes were modified to the point of being moved to other areas of the city, in others Mosgortrans was called in for help. And yet there were areas in which we had to think about opening additional routes. Which, however, in many ways are very reminiscent of the old ones. This group includes seven routes.
- № 324 “Metro station “Park Pobedy” – 2nd Mosfilmovsky Lane” ();
5 small class buses. Opening hours: daily from 6:30 to 23:00. Average traffic intervals during peak hours are 15-20 minutes, at other times up to 30 minutes. Route: st. Barclay, Kutuzovsky Avenue, Bolshaya Dorogomilovskaya Street, 2nd Bryansky Lane. (only to the metro station "Park Pobedy"), pl. Kievsky railway station, Berezhkovskaya embankment, Vorobyovskoye highway, Mosfilmovskaya st., st. Pyryeva.
- № 333 “Fedosino Street – Yugo-Zapadnaya Metro Station” ();
9 large class buses. Opening hours: on weekdays from 5:30 to 0:30, on weekends from 7:00 to 23:30. Average traffic intervals during peak hours are 10 minutes, at other times - 20-30 minutes. Route: st. Sculptor Mukhina, Chobotovskaya st., Borovskoe highway, Ozernaya st., Michurinsky prosp., Nikulinskaya st., st. Pokryshkina, ave. Vernadsky.
- № 449 “Perovo station – Cherkizovskaya metro station” ();
15 large class buses. Opening hours: on weekdays from 5:30 to 0:30, on weekends from 6:30 to 0:30. Average traffic intervals during peak hours are 9 minutes, at other times 15-20 minutes. (in the evening – 30 min.). Route: Kuskovskaya st., st. Plekhanov, Zeleny Ave., Novogireevskaya St., Federative Ave., Svobodny Ave., Bolshoy Kupavensky Ave., 15th Parkovaya St., Shchelkovskoe Highway, Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya St.
- No. 456k“8th microdistrict Mitina – Seryogin Street” ();
9 middle class buses. Opening hours: on weekdays from 6:30 to 23:00, on weekends from 7:00 to 23:30. Average traffic intervals during peak hours are 15 minutes, at other times 20-30 minutes. Route: st. General Beloborodova, Dubravnaya st., Pyatnitskoye highway, Volokolamskoye highway, Leningradsky prospect.
- No. 551k“Veterinary Academy – Semashko Hospital” ();
6 small class buses. Opening hours: daily from 6:00 to 23:00. Average traffic intervals during peak hours are 15 minutes, at other times 20-30 minutes. Route: st. Young Lenintsev, st. Academician Scriabin, Volgogradsky Prospekt; st. Marshal Chuikov and st. Young Lenintsev (only to the Veterinary Academy), Volzhsky Blvd., Krasnodonskaya St., Stavropolskaya St., Novorossiyskaya St., Krasnodarskaya St., Sovkhoznaya St.
- № 580 “Platform Chukhlinka – Samarkand Boulevard” ();
8 small class buses. Opening hours: daily from 5:30 to 23:00. Average traffic intervals during peak hours are 10-12 minutes, at other times 15-30 minutes. Route: st. Konovalova, st. Mikhailova, Yasnopolyanskaya st., 1st Veshnyakovsky Ave., st. Papernika, Ryazansky prospect, st. Vostruhina, st. Khlobystova, Tashkentskaya st., Tashkentsky lane, Samarkandsky blvd.
- № 974 “3rd microdistrict of Novokosin - Metro Cherkizovskaya” ().
20 large class buses. Opening hours: on weekdays from 5:30 to 1:30, on weekends from 5:30 to 0:30. Average traffic intervals during peak hours are 7 minutes, at other times 15-20 minutes.

Stary Gai, Veshnyakovskaya st., Svobodny prosp., Bolshoi Kupavensky pr., 15th Parkovaya st., Shchelkovskoe highway, Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya st.
Route № 333 prepared to support the route № 330 "Fedosino Street - Yasenevo Metro" on the busiest section from the Novoperedelkino district to the nearest metro station along its route. In addition, it will allow you to get from Novoperedelkino to Yugo-Zapadnaya faster, since it will go straight along Borovskoe Highway without entering the Solntsev microdistricts along Aviatorov, Volynskaya and 50 Letiya Oktyabrya streets.
Route № 324 on the section from 2nd Mosfilmovsky Lane to Kievsky Station will relieve congestion on the route № 320 , which here completely coincides along the route, being its semi-express version. However, the new route will be longer, reaching the Park Pobedy metro station.
Route № 580 will combine two problem areas served by routes No. 51k And 410 .
The letter "k" in the route number No. 456k It’s not deceiving – it’s really just a shortened version of the route № 456 (from the Mitino area to the middle of Leningradsky Prospekt). Route No. 551k not so simple: it will strengthen the route № 551 on the middle section of the route, but its ends are located somewhat away from the line of the “old” route.
Two new routes ( №№ 449 And 974 ) until the summer of 2016, they worked quite successfully in a different format - as “minibuses” No. 249m And 274m. Unfortunately for the passengers, they went to the “pilot district” of Izmailovo, in which, during the implementation of transport reform, they tried to make do with Mosgortrans alone, at a minimum compensating for the unique transport connections not served by it.
Routes No. 324, 333, 456k, 551k, 580 are additions to routes No. 51k, 320, 330, 410, 456, 551. In order to put things in order with transportation in the areas where they travel together, it would be nice to re-calculate the need for transportation in 2021 (after the expiration of the contracts concluded in 2015-2016) and revise the routes. But new contracts are also planned to be concluded for the “traditional” five years. This means that after three years, contractual obligations will not allow us to create optimal routes from scratch.
"New social"
Several routes with sometimes intricate routes will be opened to connect local residents with social facilities (clinics, public service centers and others). They will continue the line " WITH“-routes, of which there are already 12 after last year’s changes, and by the end of this year there will be at least one and a half times more. The number of buses provided for them should be enough to ensure “social” traffic intervals - every 20-30 minutes.
- No. C13"St. Novatorov - St. Innovators" ();
2 large class buses. Opening hours: daily from 7:00 to 20:30. Average movement intervals are 30 minutes. Route: one-way ring – st. Novatorov, st. Obrucheva, st. Academician Volgina, st. Miklouho-Maklaya, st. Academician Oparin, st. Samory Machel, Leninsky Prospekt, st. Innovators.

7 large class buses. Opening hours: daily from 7:00 to 21:30. Average movement intervals: 15-20 minutes. Route: ave. Vernadsky (return via Kravchenko St.), st. Udaltsova, st.

Lobachevsky, Aminevskoe highway, Ochakovskoe highway, Stroykombinat Ave.
Another “social” route will open in New Moscow.
"New Moscow"
The road infrastructure received from the Moscow region turned out to be so cumbersome and lagging behind the capital’s standards that even after five years they did not manage to improve it everywhere. If passenger cars have gotten the hang of driving on roads even with a temporary crushed stone surface, then regular bus services cannot be launched in such conditions.
This was partly the reason why city “minibuses” remained in New Moscow - after they were canceled in “old Moscow” and Zelenograd. And residents of the villages of Evseevo and Kuvekino still remember how in “regional” times there was a “minibus” from them to Vatutinki and the Teply Stan metro station. As it turned out later, she worked without the necessary permits. But it was not possible to organize a new route “according to all the rules”: it is necessary to reconstruct and expand several kilometers of a road that is not the most strategically important. Nothing will change in the transport accessibility of these villages in 2018. But others will be lucky.
For the first time in history, several settlements in the Ryazanovskoye settlement will receive bus service at once. Buses will also reach Promyshlennaya Street on the outskirts of Troitsk, as well as to the nearby village of Puchkovo. The village of Shelomovo will receive connections with the village of Kyiv and the stations Bekasovo-1 and Bekasovo-Sortirovochnoe. Commercial minibuses connecting the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station, Moskovsky, village. Mosrentgen and Yuzhnoye Butovo with the MEGA Teply Stan shopping center will be replaced with large-class buses operating according to the approved city tariff menu.

Along the route No. S18 bus traffic was organized before the competition, extending the route for this purpose № 891 "Metro station "Teply Stan" - Novovatutinsky Avenue." Along its old route, some buses continued to operate under No. 891k. After opening the route No. S18 route № 891 will be able to straighten up, connecting the village. Vatutinki with “Tyoply Stan” without entering the microdistrict. New Vatutinki.
Apparently, simultaneously with the opening of routes in New Moscow at regular rates №№ 306, 307, 308, 446, 485, 953, 967 similar “minibuses” will stop operating №№ 22, 50, 46, 1011, 953, 967 .

The fate of the routes is less clear yet №№ 53, 522, 548, 885, 894 and №№ 1, 2, 4 in the area of Shcherbinka station, because they are not repeated by either existing or planned city Moscow routes at regulated tariffs.
New bundles
Several more new routes are responsible for the formation of additional transport connections in “old Moscow”.
- № 300 "Belovezhskaya st. – Metro “Petrovsko-Razumovskaya”” ();
20 large class buses. Opening hours: on weekdays from 5:30 to 0:30, on weekends from 6:30 to 0:30. Average traffic intervals during peak hours are 8 minutes, at other times 15-20 minutes.

(only from the 5th microdistrict of Northern Butovo), Projected passage 666, 1st Mirgorodsky lane.
Using a route № 327 The industrial zone on Permskaya Street will finally receive direct communication with the nearest metro station, which opened more than a quarter of a century ago. The Northern and Southern Butovo districts will be connected by another route - № 523 , providing transportation to the Butovo station, through which one of the first two lines will pass. Route № 300 together with the converted one, it will provide direct communication along most of the North-Western Expressway, including the Alabyano-Baltic Tunnel. Thanks to the route № 325 the capital's Matveevskoye district will receive a connection with the Ramenki metro station, which opened last year.
The metro is still being dug, but the routes have already been drawn
The number of Moscow metro stations will definitely increase this year. But information about changes in public transport routes will be made public closer to the opening dates of new lines. However, two changes in the operation of city routes are planned taking into account the unfinished Okruzhnaya metro station, the launch of which, according to optimistic forecasts, will happen in the spring of this year.
Route No. 24k“VDNKh Hotels – Maryina Roshcha Metro” in the direction of Maryina Roshcha will depart from the hotels along the designed passage 1564A and Gostinichny Proezd, where the Okruzhnaya Metro stop is planned, then leaving on Gostinichnaya Street and then on its usual route.
And the bus route No. 677k will not remain at the metro stations and the Vladykino MCC, having been reduced to the Okruzhnaya station. However, the turn will be made along a new route - through Lokomotivny Ave., Station St., Gostinichny Ave., Gostinichnaya St., Stantsionnaya St. with the introduction of the “Metro Okruzhnaya” stop.
It is possible that a change in the trolleybus route will be timed to coincide with the opening of the metro. № 36 “VDNKh (southern entrance) – Beskudnikovsky Lane.” Its route should go along Dmitrovskoye Shosse to the final stop “Dmitrovskoye Shosse, 155”. At the same time, he will leave Seligerskaya Street and Beskudnikovsky Lane with the boulevard. At the end of the year, it is planned to produce electric buses in this direction, and the infrastructure for its service is being prepared taking into account the new route.
The first electric bus routes
Started by Mosgortrans, with a positive pace of developments, should culminate in the appearance of the first passenger lines serviced entirely by a new type of rolling stock. According to the calendar schedule for the delivery of new equipment, serial samples should arrive in Moscow in September-November 2018, and the total number of operating electric buses should reach 300 units by the end of the year.
In the tender documentation you can find the numbers of 20 routes that are going to be served by electric buses as early as 2018. Taking into account their routes, the installation locations of charging stations for ultra-fast charging have been determined.
Eight of these routes are now trolleybus routes:
- № 7 "Metro station "Park Pobedy" - Cinema "Udarnik"";
- No. 34k"St. Kravchenko - Kyiv railway station";
- № 36 “VDNH (southern) – Dmitrovskoe highway, 155”;
- № 42 "Rizhsky Station - Metro Dynamo";
- № 73
- № 76 "Kholmogorskaya st. – Metro "VDNKh";
- № 80 “6th microdistrict Bibireva – Ostashkovskaya street”;
- № 83 "Ussuriyskaya st. – Metro "Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad"".
Another twelve are bus services, but four of them were previously served by trolleybuses:
- No. T25"Ave. Budyonny - Metro "Lubyanka"";
- № 31 "Ostashkovskaya st. – Metro "Bibirevo";
- № 33 “VDNKh (southern) – Vladykino metro station”;
- № 53 "Metro station "Bibirevo" - Metro station "Vladykino"";
- No. T88"Ave. Budyonny - Komsomolskaya Square";
- № 107 “Metro station “Filyovsky Park” – Platf. Matveevskaya";
- № 649 “Yasny Ave. – Ostashkovskaya St.”;
- № 705 "Abramtsevskaya st. - Metro "Bibirevo";
- № 778 “Rizhsky Station – Spartakovskaya Square”;
- № 832 "Krylatskoye - Sports Center "Krylatskoye"";
- B"Garden Ring" (inner);
- B"Garden Ring" (outer).
Trolleybuses or buses?
The Moscow Department of Transport has approved changes to the register of city regular transport routes, according to which trolleybus services should be replaced by bus services on several routes. There is no urgent technical need for this, because the installation of the contact network, provided for by the reconstruction project, continues on Tverskaya Zastava Square.
In addition to the routes extended at the beginning of autumn, trolleybus routes №№ 20 "Serebryany Bor - Belorussky Station" 70 "Bratsevo - Belorussky Station" 82 "MPS Hospital - Belorussky Station" and 56 “Bazovskaya Street – 2nd Lesnoy Lane” will also be able to reach Tverskaya Zastava without changing the mode of transport. The restored contact network will also allow the resumption of trolleybus service on the route № 18 . However, it is still unknown whether trolleybuses will travel along Tverskaya Zastava.
The feasibility of extending the route № 82 to Tverskaya Zastava generally raises questions. At one time, it was organized as a replacement for the tram line removed from Leningradsky Prospekt and 1st Botkinsky Proezd. Due to traffic conditions, the connection between the area adjacent to the Botkin Hospital and Leningradsky Prospekt is only possible with an extended U-turn under the Tverskoy overpass. Extending this trip by an extra kilometer with several traffic light objects on the way will only worsen the conditions for transporting passengers for which the route was created at one time. At the same time, the connection between Tverskaya Zastava and Leningradsky Prospekt and the beginning of Volokolamsk Highway is provided by routes No. m1, N1, 456, 904, 904k, to which the route can also join No. 70 (T70).

The bus route should be operational approximately in April. № 216 "Luzhniki Stadium (south) - Krasnopresnenskaya metro station." Its route will pass along the embankments of the Moscow River, reconstructed in 2017, taking into account the organization of regular passenger traffic. Buses will travel along Novoluzhnetsky Prospekt, Luzhnetskaya and Frunzenskaya embankments, st. Khamovnichesky Val, Luzhnetsky and Novodevichy Ave., Savvinskaya, Rostovskaya, Smolenskaya and Krasnopresnenskaya embankments, pl. Free Russia, Konyushkovskaya st. and st. Zamorenova. Four medium and large class buses are planned to operate on the route. Passengers will be received by new stops “Novodevichy Cemetery”, “Novodevichy Monastery”, “Novodevichy Prospect”, “Savvinskaya Embankment”, “Moskovsky Silk”, “2nd Lane”. Workers", "Bogdan Khmelnitsky Bridge", "Smolenskaya Embankment" and "Novoarbatsky Bridge".
Even more routes for the MCC
In the coming weeks, it is likely that the issue of transporting passengers to the Likhobory MCC station will be settled. The new access road (Projected Passage No. 490) was in a high degree of readiness back in the fall of 2016. However, until now the movement of buses along it has not been organized. In the year and a half that has passed since the inclusion of bus routes to the Likhobory station in the city register, one of them, without working even a day, managed to change its number. "Virtual" route No. 123k“Metro station “Petrovsko-Razumovskaya” – St. Likhobory" assigned № 323 , under which he will start working. It will take place along Lokomotivny Prospekt, st. Lines of the Oktyabrskaya Railway, Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street, 4th Novomikhalkovsky Ave. and Projected Passage No. 490.
From the “NAMI” stop you should move to the Likhobory station and the final stops of bus routes №№ 22 "St. March 8 – NAMI” and 139 "Metro station "Vodny Stadion" - NAMI."
The bus route was restored on December 26, 2017 after the opening of the reconstructed White Stone overpass № 75 still does not call at the stop “Belokamennaya Station” provided by the register between the stops “Training Center of the Ministry of Health” and “Yauzskaya Alleya”. Unlike Likhobor, there are no positive developments in the construction of an access road to the MCC station.
One can only guess whether another “frozen” route connected to the MCC will start operating this year - № 47 "Metro "Technopark" - ZIL station." Road construction in the area of the ZIL built-up territory is being carried out quite actively. But whether everything will be ready to launch buses here, only time will tell.
Two more routes long ago approved by the Moscow Department of Transport could improve communication with the MCC stations Rokossovsky Boulevard and Lokomotiv. Their non-operation can only be explained by organizational reasons of the carrier - for example, a shortage of buses or drivers. The road conditions along their routes are not satisfactory: any of the roads they use are already used by other public transport.
The first is the route № 783 "Kamchatskaya street - Metro "Rokossovsky Boulevard"". Its route will pass along Khabarovskaya, Baikalskaya and Irkutskaya streets, 2nd Irtyshsky passage, Montazhnaya street, st. Nikolai Khimushin, Tagilskaya st., Otkrytomu sh. and Ivanteevskaya st. 10 large-class SUE Mosgortrans buses should operate here.
The second is a semi-express bus route № 941 “Kamchatskaya Street - Metro “Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad””, which is planned to run along Khabarovskaya Street, Shchelkovsky Highway. and Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya street. with intermediate stops “Khabarovskaya Street, 20”, “Altaiskaya Street”, “Baikalskaya Street”, “Khabarovskaya Street”, “Metro Shchelkovskaya”, “Kaloshino”, “PO Sokol”, “Metro Cherkizovskaya” and "Khalturinskaya street". 16 Mosgortrans buses of large and extra large classes should be on the route.
From Tverskaya Zastava to Kurkino
The bus route to Tverskaya Zastava was extended last year № 905 according to previously approved plans, it should extend beyond the Moscow Ring Road. Instead of the terminal station that was once built “in an open field” in the area of the 75th kilometer of the Moscow Ring Road, it will reach the residential area of Kurkino. The new section of the route will run along the Leningradskoye Highway, MKAD, Proektiruemye Proezd No. 6699, Novokurkinskoye Highway. and Sokolovo-Meshcherskaya st. Here the semi-express route will follow all stops along the route - while on Leningradskoye Shosse and Leningradsky Prospekt buses pick up and drop off passengers only at junction stops.
How long can you expect changes?
For the twenty-nine new routes on which competitions are currently being held, carriers have not yet been identified, and this information is not included in the city register of routes. That is why passengers cannot use them yet. It is necessary to wait for the completion of the competitive selection, the conclusion of the government contract and the fulfillment of the preparatory conditions provided for by it.
The situation is different with approved routes for which the carrier has long been known, and this is the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans. A whole group of routes either operate along old routes that the registry has already abandoned, or do not operate at all (routes №№ 783, 941 ).
Back in 2016, changes to bus routes were adopted №№ 76 And 803 in the area of the VDNH metro station, which would make it possible to bring the stops closer to the vestibule of the VDNH metro station. Instead of the final station “VDNH (northern)”, the register of routes provides for a new terminal on Kosmonavtov Street. And the route includes Ostankino Passage and Mira Avenue instead of Prodolny Proezd. In fact, for almost two years now, Mosgortrans has been ignoring the routes established by the register, and passengers are not receiving the promised and desired service on many routes.
Meanwhile, the route registry should reflect current information on existing regular transportation routes. From the moment the changes are approved (or the date of entry into force of the changes is announced), carriers are required to work according to the new parameters. And to indicate intentions and long-term plans, there is the concept of planning documents for regular transportation. With its help, you can resolve all possible conflicts between long-term plans and the current route network, indicating the timing of planned changes and the necessary procedures for the start of transportation.
However, Moscow, unlike other regions, has not yet mastered such a format. As a result, it is extremely difficult to figure out where the carriers themselves drive in violation of the routes, working according to old schemes, and where, on the contrary, the bold plans of the Department are not supported by the necessary road conditions. Only one thing remains clear: passengers on many routes do not have the opportunity to use routes that exist only “on paper.”
Among the Moscow tram routes, the registry of city routes also plans changes, about which TR. ru. The exact dates have not yet been announced, and in general it is unknown whether they will fall in 2018.
Starting October 8, new land routes under the general name “Magistral” will be launched in the capital. These buses, trolleybuses and trams will travel through the center of Moscow and the main city streets. The city transport department explained why this is needed and how we will use the new product.
We realized that it is necessary to create not only beautiful paving and convenient pedestrian infrastructure, but we also need to create high-quality infrastructure for urban transport passengers,” said Alina Bisembaeva, Deputy Head of the Department of Transport and Development of Road Transport Infrastructure in Moscow. - In the new traffic scheme, the routes have been eliminated from “rings” and “loops”. People understand more when transport moves in a straight line from point A to point B and when the route in one direction coincides with the route in the other direction.
As the Moscow Department of Transport promises, thanks to the innovation, public transport in the center will run twice as often. The average traffic interval will be reduced from 16 to 8 minutes. Let's figure out what else passengers can expect.
NUMBERS CHANGE
The new routes will be divided into three parts - highway, regional and social (see table).
1. Trunk.
They will be the main ones - the longest and fastest. The movement interval is 5 – 10 minutes. They will connect several districts of Moscow with the center and with each other. For example, Leninsky with Leningradsky Prospekt, Luzhniki and the Semenovskaya metro station, Nagatinskaya and Polezhaevskaya metro stations. The numbers of these routes will be marked with the letter “m”. Some of them will be new, while others will simply be renamed. For example, trolleybus No. 62 from Udarnik on Leninsky Prospekt will now be designated “M4”. If you see an “m” on the windshield of the bus, it means you won’t have to wait long for this route. He goes often.
2. Regional.
They will be short and not as fast as the main ones. The movement interval is 10 – 15 minutes. They are needed to connect the capital's outskirts with the center. They are easy to get to the main route or make a short trip. For example, trolleybus No. 79 will now become a regional trolleybus, which runs from Savyolovsky Station to Luzhniki and back.
3. Social.
The movement interval is up to 30 minutes. On these buses and trolleybuses it will be possible to get to the necessary places - My Documents government service centers, clinics, passport offices, bank branches, post offices. This, for example, will be the route of bus No. 122, which runs from the Sokolniki metro station to Lubyanka Square and back.
ATTENTION!
In the table we have indicated all the routes that are included in the Magistral transport scheme. In some places the numbers have changed, in others they have not. The main thing is that the routes have changed - the end points are indicated in brackets.
To prevent Muscovites from getting confused by additional routes and replacements, for the first few months buses, trolleybuses and trams will run under two numbers - new and old. At stops there will be special flags indicating the routes. And both old and new route numbers will be painted on signs on the windshield. In addition, maps with all lines will be posted in the salon. In addition, at each stop in the center you can see the traffic map with all the stops.
The letter “m” denotes the so-called main routes. These are the longest and fastest lines with intervals of 5 - 10 minutes. Each main route is painted in the color of the metro line at whose stations it most often stops. For example, the M4 bus is marked in orange on the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line. On this line it approaches the Oktyabrskaya and Leninsky Prospekt stations.
Routes with intervals of 10 - 15 minutes are indicated in blue.
Routes with intervals of up to 30 minutes are indicated in pink.
Tram routes are indicated in black.
TWO “ANNUSHKA” WILL APPEAR ON THE BOULEVARD RING
The new route “A” will travel along the Boulevard Ring. But it will not be a tram, as it is now, but a bus. Let us remind you that tram “A” already runs along the eastern part of the Boulevard Ring - from Kaluzhskaya to Chistye Prudy. Muscovites call him “Annushka”. And the new main bus route “A” will be launched along the western part of the Boulevard Ring. It will travel from the square of three stations to Luzhniki.
Trolleybuses will start running in minutes
With new routes, ground transportation switches to a clock schedule. That is, buses, trolleybuses and trams will run every minute. If a bus leaves in front of you and leaves every 8 minutes, then the next one should arrive in 8 minutes. Although most likely this graph will “break down” at the first traffic jam. But even in this case, there is a way out. Using electronic signs at bus stops and the Yandex mobile application. Transport" you can find out where in reality the bus or trolleybus you need is currently located, and whether it is worth waiting for it at the stop.
THROUGH THE GARDEN RING
Some old routes will be straightened. In the area of Dolgorukovskaya and Barrikadnaya streets there will be through traffic through the Garden Ring. Previously, buses needed at least 15 - 20 minutes for a complex maneuver. For example, near Barrikadnaya Street, bus No. 39 first went to Sadovoe, then turned around there, drove back around the ring and went further along the route to Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street. Now the bus will immediately go straight through the ring.
And on some streets in the center of Moscow, surface roads will appear again after many years. According to Alina Bisembaeva, for the first time since the early 90s, ground transport will return to sections of Bolshaya Nikitskaya and Sadovnicheskaya streets. There has been no public transport here for more than 20 years.
NIGHT BUSES WILL BE ASSEMBLED INTO A TRANSFER JOINT
Six night routes will also be rebooted. Let us remind you that they run from midnight to 5.30 am. Now buses n1, n2, n3, n4, n5 and n6 will be assembled into a single interchange hub on Slavyanskaya Square, near the Kitay-Gorod metro station. They will come here at night every 30 minutes. Passengers who have been on a spree will be able to transfer from one bus to another and travel by bus to the outskirts of the city - to Novokosino, Lyublino, Golyanovo and other areas. The remaining 24-hour routes will operate according to their usual schedule.
BY THE WAY
There will be more dedicated lanes
From October 8, six new dedicated lanes will appear in the city center. Buses and trolleybuses will run along the section of the Kremlin Ring, two through passages on the Garden Ring, Taganskaya Street, Vozdvizhenka and the section of Malaya Dmitrovka to Strastnoy Boulevard. It looks like this:
1. The allocated car on the Kremlin ring will run on the far left side of the road. Public transport will meet the cars - from Lubyanka Square along Teatralny Proezd, Okhotny Ryad, Mokhovaya and Borovitskaya Squares. In the opposite direction, land travels in the general flow. From Borovitskaya Square, a dedicated lane passes through the Bolshoy Kamenny and Maly Kamenny bridges, Serafimovicha Street. Then buses and trolleybuses will go along the allocated lane on Bolshaya Yakimanka, turn onto Leninsky Prospekt and exit onto the Moscow Ring Road.
The oncoming lane on the Kremlin ring will reduce travel time to 45 minutes, and will also relieve congestion on Kitaygorodsky passage and embankments.
2. Two through passages on the Garden Ring will “straighten” six existing surface routes. All of them will now move around the ring without looping around it. Trolleybuses No. 3 and No. 47 will be able to travel directly from Dolgorukovskaya Street to Malaya Dmitrovka. And trolleybus No. 79 and buses No. 6, 39 and 64 will also go directly from Bolshaya Nikitskaya to Barrikadnaya.
3. Along a 2.3-kilometer-long allocated road on Taganskaya Street, the land transport will travel from Taganskaya Square in the same direction as cars - towards the region. A public transport lane towards the center is already operational.
4. On Vozdvizhenka there is one-way traffic towards New Arbat. Buses and trolleybuses will travel along the allocated road in the same direction as cars.
5. On Malaya Dmitrovka, a lane for public transport will appear in the section from Nastasinsky Lane to Strastnoy Boulevard.
FEEDBACK
Muscovites can send their questions, suggestions and wishes on new land routes through Moscow Transport or by email -
On October 8, 2016, dozens of bus and trolleybus routes changed. Some of them took new routes, and some of the stops in the city center were renamed.
To make transport in the center more convenient, 3 types of routes were launched: highway, district and social.
Main routes the main and longest ones. They connect several districts of Moscow with the center and among themselves, for example Leninsky with Leningradsky Prospekt, Luzhniki and Semyonovskaya, Nagatinskaya and Polezhaevskaya. Movement interval: 5-10 minutes. These are the fastest and most frequent routes on the network.
Regional routes shorter ones: they connect the districts with the center. They are easy to get to the main route or make a short trip. Movement interval: 10-15 minutes.
Social routes help Moscow residents get to My Documents centers, clinics, MFCs and other socially significant places. Movement interval: up to 30 minutes.
The approach to the traffic schedule has also changed: transport is switching to a clock schedule. Passengers will know, for example, that during peak times the main bus from Tverskaya Street to Leninsky Prospekt runs every eight minutes. And if a person comes to a stop and the bus door closes in front of him, then in eight minutes the next one will arrive.

Ground transport in Moscow. The new network of bus routes will allow passengers to easily move between the center and the outskirts using only ground transport. At the same time, a number of old routes will change, so you need to familiarize yourself with the Magistral traffic scheme in advance.
For example, using Magistral, you can come from a residential area to the center on business, move to another part of the center of Moscow to meet friends or attend a cultural event, and then return home - and all this by ground transport.
Moscow authorities expect that thanks to the launch of the Magistral transport system by 2017, passenger traffic on ground transport will increase, which will become more reliable and convenient: buses and trolleybuses will run at predictable intervals of 5-10 minutes, routes will become more comfortable.
How to use the MCC>>
New routes
In total, 39 bus and trolleybus routes will be organized and changed, and 24 new stops will be added.
“Highway” routes will contain the letter “M” in their names. M1 will run along Leningradsky Prospect, M2 - along Kutuzovsky, M3 - along Komsomolsky, M4 - along Leninsky, M5 and M6 - along Varshavsky, M7 - along Ryazansky, M8 - along Entuziastov Highway and M9 - along Mira Avenue.
In addition to the existing ones, 24 new stops are being introduced in the center of Moscow, 12 of which are located in areas where public transport has not operated since the 90s.
Three new types of routes will appear in Moscow: mainline, regional and social.
Main routes will be the main and longest. They will connect remote areas of the capital both with the center and with each other. In particular, the routes will connect Leninsky and Leningradsky Avenues, the Luzhniki Stadium and the Semenovskaya metro station, the Vladykino and Kitay-Gorod metro stations. Movement intervals will be 5 - 10 minutes.
Regional routes will be shorter - they will connect the sleeping areas with the center. Passengers will be able to easily get to main routes or make short trips using them. Movement intervals are 10-15 minutes.
Social routes will allow Muscovites to quickly get to My Documents centers, clinics, MFCs and other socially significant places. Movement intervals are up to 30 minutes.
Which routes will change?
In addition to new bus routes, a number of existing ones are being changed. Some existing routes have been renamed and “straightened”, for example, trolleybus route No. 62 (Udarnik cinema - Leninsky Prospekt) turned into M4, bus number 6 became M6 (previously it moved in one direction along Vozdvizhenka, and in the other along Gogolevsky Boulevard , will now walk back and forth along the same streets).
In the area of Dolgorukovskaya and Barrikadnaya streets there will be through traffic through the Garden Ring. Previously, buses went there, turned around, and went back (now they will just go straight).
In addition, the movement of express routes No. 144 and 904, as well as night routes H1 - H6, will change. And this is not counting completely new bus routes.
All changes in the movement of ground transport in Moscow can be found in detail on the “Magistral” diagrams.
"Highway" schemes
Route patterns within the Magistral network will appear at all public transport stops in the center of Moscow, and will also be displayed in the Yandex.Transport service and mobile application.
In addition, new stop flags, maps and stencils have been developed for the launch of the Highway. At first, for the convenience of passengers, old and new route numbers will be displayed on stencils; main routes will be marked with thick multi-colored lines.
Fare
More than 100 new modern buses with soft seats and air conditioning will run on the new routes of the Magistral network. For travel on buses, the same tickets will be valid as for other types of ground transport in Moscow, including Troika cards.
Advantages and prospects
When developing the new transport system, three main criteria were taken into account:
The routes will run where passengers need them most, in densely populated residential areas and in the center of the capital;
Stops are organized within maximum accessibility from a large number of shopping, cultural and business centers so that passengers can reach them on foot;
Linearity and symmetry: routes are organized without loops or deviations, with stops located on both sides of the road, with the possibility of crossing.
As the press service of the Moscow City Hall reported, new routes and stops will gradually be included in the Magistral scheme. At the same time, new dedicated lanes for surface urban transport will appear, and road markings will be improved. The last stage of the Magistral network will be launched in 2017.
“People are getting used to bus routes, and their global reform is fraught with great inconvenience for passengers. The capital’s officials started talking about the fact that ground transport is in for serious changes just the other day, and they intend to launch Magistral as early as Saturday. Meanwhile, the biggest problems for passengers, such as being late for work and other troubles, may arise on Monday, when the Magistral will operate at full capacity,” says Petr Shkumatov, coordinator of the Blue Bucket Society movement.
In October, a new ground transport network, Magistral, is launched in Moscow. New routes of buses, trolleybuses and trams pass through the center of Moscow and main transport routes. In this article we will explain why such a network is needed, who it will help and how to use it.- Public transport in the center will be 2 times more frequent. The average traffic interval was reduced from 16 to 8 minutes
- +39% increase in the number of rolling stock. There is more transport
- 17 main routes connect the center of Moscow
- +43% increase in passenger traffic. More people will be able to use transport
- 370 buses, trolleybuses and trams in the route network
- +75% increase in the number of residents within a 30-minute drive from Lubyanka. It is more convenient for residents of the center to travel home
- 103 new buses were purchased specifically for the project
- +117% increase in the number of employees within a 30-minute drive from Lubyanka. It is more convenient to travel to work by ground transport.
In general, so that Moscow public transport better meets the needs of passengers. This particular network of routes is to make it easier for passengers to move around the center.
We want passengers to make it convenient to make daily trips around Moscow, completely relying on ground public transport. For example, so that you can come from your area to the center on business, move to another part of the center to meet friends in a cafe, then return home - and all this using ground transport.
To do this, transport must run quickly and frequently, be roomy and comfortable, and most importantly, go where passengers need it. The launch of the Magistral route network is one of the steps towards this goal.
What's changing?
To make transport in the center more convenient, we are launching three types of routes: highway, district and social.
Trunk routes are the main and longest. They connect several districts of Moscow with the center and among themselves, for example, Leninsky with Leningradsky Prospekt, Luzhniki and Semyonovskaya, Nagatinskaya and Polezhaevskaya. These routes are marked with a thick line on the new map. The movement interval is 5 - 10 minutes. These are the fastest and most frequent routes on the network.
District the routes are shorter: they connect the districts with the center. They are easy to get to the main route or make a short trip. The movement interval is 10 - 15 minutes.
Social routes help Moscow residents get to My Documents centers, clinics, passport offices and other socially significant places. The movement interval is up to 30 minutes.
The approach to the traffic schedule has also changed: transport is switching to a clock schedule. Passengers will know, for example, that during peak times the main bus from Tverskaya Street to Leninsky Prospekt runs every eight minutes. And if a person comes to a stop and the bus door closes in front of him, then in eight minutes the next one will arrive.
What happened to the routes?
We turned popular routes in the center into main routes and straightened them to increase traffic speed and reduce intervals. For example, trolleybus 62 from Udarnik on Leninsky Prospekt is now called M4, this is a main route with a service interval every four minutes.
At the same time, we are improving the traffic patterns of cars and ground transport so that they do not interfere with each other.
In the area of Dolgorukovskaya and Barrikadnaya streets there is now through traffic through the Garden Ring. Previously, buses lost 15 - 20 minutes to exit onto Sadovoye, turn around, drive back and continue along the route. Now this detour is not needed, buses go straight through.
What about night routes?
Night routes will also change slightly. n1, n2, n3, n4, n5 and n6 will be united by a single interchange hub on Slavyanskaya Square, near the Kitay-Gorod metro station. At night, these routes will converge on Slavyanskaya Square so that late passengers can transfer between them and go to the other end of the city. Movement intervals will remain the same - 30 minutes. Other 24-hour routes will remain unchanged.
It's clear with the old ones. Are there any new routes?
One of the new routes is bus A from the Three Station Square to Luzhniki. Now it’s easy to get to the center from the stations, drive along the boulevards and exit onto Komsomolsky Prospekt. And you can go to Sapsan by bus.
But A is not a completely new route. Since the beginning of the 20th century, Moscow had tram route A, which ran along the Boulevard Ring. The route was changed, moved and shortened many times until 1991, when it was closed. In 1997, the route was restored along the eastern part of the Boulevard Ring - from Kaluzhskaya to Chistye Prudy. Muscovites call this tram route “Annushka”. The new main bus route A runs along the western part of the Boulevard Ring, continuing the traditions of the historical route of the last century.
Another example is the M1 route, which connects Leninsky and Leningradsky Prospekts through the center. You can get on Tverskaya and in 15 minutes find yourself near Gorky Park, or drive further along Leninsky Prospekt and get off at Neskuchny Garden.
Previously, from the north along Tsvetnoy Boulevard it was possible to get only to Trubnaya Square, after which the route was interrupted. If you needed to get to Teatralnaya or Lubyanka, you had to take the metro. Now there is route 38: - from Rizhskaya to Neglinnaya, Bolshoi Theater, Lubyanka and Kitai-Gorod without transfers.
Finally, we have restored traffic along Bolshaya Nikitskaya - see route M6 from Nagatinskaya to Polezhaevskaya. Some routes that are being launched now have not been operated in Moscow since the 1990s.
How to understand the new route numbering?
For the next few months, transport along routes will have two numbers - new and old.
We created new stop flags, maps and stencils on the bus especially for the project. At first, the stencils will contain both old and new route numbers. At each stop in the center there is a traffic map with all the stops.
Why are the new routes faster?
Two reasons: there are more buses on the routes, and the routes themselves have straightened out and almost completely switched to dedicated lanes.
More buses mean shorter intervals and less waiting at stops. The average traffic interval throughout the network is 8 minutes.
Thanks to dedicated lanes, buses and trolleybuses go faster. And since routes no longer have inconvenient detour loops, passengers can get to their desired stop faster. For example, along the central corridor around the Kremlin, buses will now operate on a dedicated lane. Previously, due to one-way traffic, a trip around the Kremlin could take up to half an hour.
Are the stops also new?
Some yes. We are installing 24 new stops in the center of Moscow, 12 of which are located in areas where public transport has not operated since the 90s.
We will also gradually replace old stops with new, more convenient ones.
Why ground transport and not the metro?
The metro works great over long distances. If you need to get from Yugo-Zapadnaya to Rechnoy Station, then the metro is the fastest way to get there. The time of transfers, descent and ascent can be neglected.
But on short distances, the metro is not so convenient: descent, transfers and ascent can take more than half the travel time. A bus or trolleybus is slower than a metro, but over short distances you will get there faster and with less effort.
Another problem with the metro in the center of Moscow is that the stations are too far from each other. The average distance between our metro stations is 1600 meters. There are a lot of places in the center, the journey from the metro to which takes 15-20 minutes on foot. By the standards of modern transport systems, this is a long time.
For comparison, in Paris the average distance between stations in the center is 400 meters. And yet there is a developed public transport network in the center of Paris.
The diagram shows in blue the distance that a person can walk in five minutes from the metro. Everything gray requires a 10-20 minute walk:
The Magistral network will solve this problem due to the fact that there are stops along the route more often than metro stations, and on both sides of the road. You don't have to walk far - just get off at the right stop.
Finally, you can view the sights from the window of a bus or trolleybus. You will appreciate this in the spring, when the days are longer and the trees on Tverskaya are in full bloom.
What buses will be running?
We purchased 103 new buses for the new routes of the Magistral network. These are comfortable modern buses with soft seats and air conditioning.
How to drive now?
The same as before: come to the stop, check the routes according to the map, wait 5-10 minutes and get on the bus or trolleybus of the desired route. It uses all the same travel documents as other types of ground transport, including Troika cards.
The main interchange hub on main routes is Lubyanka. This means that you can get to almost any district of Moscow or any part of the center with one change at Lubyanka.
Why were these routes designed?
The Moscow Transport working group was guided by three criteria:
1. High passenger flow and density. Routes should go where people need them most: in densely populated areas and the business center.
2. Pedestrian accessibility. Stops should be within walking distance of a large number of shopping, cultural and business centers. People who work in the area should be able to walk to the stop.
3. Linearity and symmetry. Routes should be as straight as possible, without loops or deviations. And the stops should be on both sides of the road, with the opportunity to cross the road somewhere nearby.
Who was in the working group?
To design these routes, we brought together everyone involved in transport in Moscow: representatives of departments, prefectures, urban planning institutes, activists, bloggers and urban experts, and also invited international experts with experience in designing route networks of ground transport.
Why didn't they ask me?
In fact, you were asked and you answered - but not with words, but with deeds.
The routes were designed by specialists, but the basis for each decision was provided by the passengers themselves: how much and how people travel around Moscow was the main criterion by which we were guided.
We collected terabytes of data on the use of ground transport in Moscow:
statistics of pick-ups and drop-offs, frequency and speed of traffic, load on roads and transfer hubs. Using cellular data, we received an accurate picture of the movement of every bus and person in the center of Moscow. In total, we collected data from 30 sources.
In October 2016, we are launching the first phase of routes. New routes, new stops and new buses will gradually appear. The last stage of the Magistral network will be launched in 2017. Gradually, along with the routes, we will improve the road markings and launch dedicated lanes where they will help traffic.
What's the result?
We expect that by 2017, more people will begin to use ground transport, and ground transport itself will become reliable and simple: buses and trolleybuses will run at predictable intervals of 5-10 minutes, the routes will be convenient, and the buses and trolleybuses themselves will be comfortable.
We measure the effectiveness of changes using isochrones - graphs that show how far you can go from a given point in 30 minutes:
