Moscow Integrates 50+ Suburban Routes into City Transport

Project 'Moscow - Region': We are integrating suburban routes into the capital's transport system. Under the project, more than 50 routes have been opened, connecting Moscow with eight municipal districts of the nearby Moscow region.

Consensus

More than 50 routes have been integrated into Moscow's transport system under the 'Moscow — Region' project.
The integrated routes connect Moscow with eight urban districts of nearby Moscow Oblast.
The project includes the use of modern buses, with over 500 already purchased and 75 expected by year-end.
Operating hours for the routes have been extended from 17 to 20 hours per day.
Passengers are served according to Moscow's transport standards, with access to all familiar services and benefits.
Residents of Moscow Oblast now have access to unlimited 'Ediny' zone 'Prikhod' subscriptions for 30, 90, or 365 days using the 'Troika' card.
Free transfers are available on all types of Moscow's public transport for these passengers.
The project is expected to be expanded with 27 additional routes by the end of 2026.
Several new routes were launched in August 2024.
The number of large-class buses has increased from 34% to 82%.
Passenger volume has increased by one-third due to reduced intervals and improved service.
The project has led to a reduction in personal vehicle use on major roads by approximately 8% (about 18,000 vehicles daily).
