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.

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.

Routes at night

There are eleven routes of ground intracity transport in the capital at night.

Night-time trolleybuses (Bk, Bchr) run a circular route along the streets of the Garden Ring. Their path lies through Zamoskvorechye, Yakimanka, Khamovniki, Arbat, as well as Basmanny, Tagansky, Presnensky, Tverskoy, Meshchansky, Krasnoselsky districts.

Operating interval: every 15 minutes, other trolleybuses operate at half-hour intervals.

Night tram No. 3 runs along the Chistye Prudy metro route - st. Academician Yangel. Route taxi No. 308 runs from the Domodedovskaya metro station to the airport of the same name, the interval is 40 minutes. Ticket prices at night are the same as during the day.

Take note: On the Mosgortrans website http://www.mosgortrans.ru you can find answers to the questions: what time do buses start running at night? There you can also search for ground transport schedules, find out how long trolleybuses, trams and buses run.

How long does the night transport last? Start time for night transport: 23:30. Stopping time: 05:30 am. Sometimes movement occurs around the clock, without interruption.

Below is a diagram of the movement of Moscow intracity transport at night.

Note: using the mobile phone application “Yandex. Transport" can greatly facilitate the search for ground transport schedules. There are sites on the Internet - directories, with the help of which you can build a route.

Route taxis

Marshrutka, as these taxis are popularly called, is certainly a more convenient and less crowded form of urban transport.

The ticket price varies between 25-35 rubles; suburban routes, naturally, will cost twice as much.

There are a lot of commercial minibuses in the capital. The roads are mainly driven by both old Gazelle cars and more modern Ford cars.

The numbers of minibuses and their complete list, as well as the schedule, can be found on the Internet at http://gorod-moskva.ru/transport/mtaxi.php. Minibus taxis operate daily from 6:00 to 24:00.

City stops are equipped with special boards that display the number of public transport, route and interval. This is very convenient for passengers.

Monorail

The Moscow monorail is an experimental passenger mode of transport, consists of one track, runs on an overpass between the metro and VDNKh.

It is a landmark of VDNKh and is used mainly for excursion purposes.

Opening hours: 6:30 - 23:30.

You can pay for travel with a “United”, “Troika” card and all other travel tickets.

Electric trains

Another popular type of railway ground transport is the electric train.

Electric trains run daily and around the clock, from 05.00 am to 01.00 am.

A nice bonus for students is a discount on travel (half the ticket price for adults).

You can buy a ticket for the next train flight from the ticket inspector or at the station ticket office. The ticket is issued for the whole day.

The exit to the platform is blocked by a turnstile. On each platform there are signs in the form of electronic boards indicating the departure time and arrival station. Station names are constantly announced.

Water transport

Recently, river trams have been used mainly for excursion purposes.

For tourists and the local population, a walk along the Moscow River on a river bus is quite an interesting activity: from the board there are wonderful views of the sights and picturesque places.

Vessels operate on a fixed route from mid-April to the end of October.

Several shipping companies offer boat trips in the city: Rechflot, Stolichnaya, Vodokhod, Megaflot. There is no single route of movement; each shipping industry has its own. You can view the schedule here http://transport.mos.ru/river/.

Conclusion

Based on the above, you can move around the city using any of the listed types of transport. Based on this information, everyone can plan a travel route in advance to visit all the desired attractions of the Russian capital.

Traveling around Moscow is interesting and exciting! And, thanks to a well-functioning and organized system of intracity transport, it is also convenient.

Each week, Look At Me takes a look at one notable app that's changing the way we think about mobile experiences, and digs into the ideas, the technology, the developers behind the App Store icon. In the new issue - a conversation with the creators of the ETransport application, which allows you to track the movement of urban public transport.

The ETranport application finds the stops closest to the user and displays the direction of travel there. Just select the desired stop, and the application will calculate how many minutes later this or that public transport will arrive.

ETranport provides users with the opportunity to create their own list of favorite stops and routes, so that they don’t have to re-search for the ones they use most often.

A tab with a list of favorite stops and routes can be made the starting tab- this will simplify the process of using the application.

The ETranport application also stores in memory the last few stops and routes viewed by the user.

The movement of public transport in the application can be tracked using an interactive map, and according to the list with information about arrival time and distance.

The free ETransport application collects information about the location of urban transport equipped with GLONASS sensors and calculates the arrival time of buses, trolleybuses and trams at a specific stop. The application automatically determines the user's location and prompts him to select one of the nearest stops on the interactive map. Next, the screen displays a list of routes and the time after which this or that public transport will arrive at the stop. Thanks to this, you can save time and plan your route wisely. Also in the ETranport application there is a function for saving favorite stops and the ability to view the history of your movements.

“When we were students and just starting our small business- a mobile application development company - we were missing an interesting project for our portfolio. I wanted to come to a potential client and say: “Do you know ETranport? We did this! That is, initially it was a kind of side project, but in the end it was it that attracted new clients.

The principle of operation of the application itself is quite simple - ETransport determines the user’s location and offers to select the nearest transport stops on an interactive map, and then shows the approaching transport and the time after which it will arrive at the stop. The biggest problem associated with the launch of ETranport is that it is necessary to negotiate with city authorities about the right of access to specific location data of all public transport units. In my opinion, this is strange - after all, the convenient service that we create for citizens benefits any government. Moreover, this is simply wrong - such data cannot be hidden, it must be in the public domain. In this regard, St. Petersburg is at the forefront: the authorities there have not only opened this data to everyone, but also encourage developers of such projects (but ETranport is currently considered the best in terms of functionality). In about 40 other cities, no one hides transport location data, but in Moscow they are practically classified.

In the next month we will launch ETranport in 11 more cities in Russia, but for now I cannot disclose information about which cities are included in this list. I think their residents will definitely not miss this event. In Moscow, for example, in the first four days we attracted more than 40 thousand users. Unfortunately, not everyone noticed that Moscow (as, by the way, St. Petersburg) is still in the beta testing stage, and the application does not yet have many stops and routes, and the information about the location of transport may differ from the real situation.

In the future, we will definitely add to the application the function of constructing a point-to-point route, as well as the ability to calculate travel time and even warn your friends about how many minutes you will arrive. We will also remind users in advance that it is time to leave the house so as not to miss their tram, otherwise the next one will not arrive soon. We will pay more attention to ensuring that users can communicate with each other, choose the “King of the Roads” or the “Mayor of the Stop.” We want people to share valuable information with each other (for example, what the line is under control) and discuss various things like rude drivers and singing conductors.

There are five people in our team. I studied at the Gorky USU, where I met Maxim Rovkin, our Android developer. He brought an incredible server-man Pasha Dick to our team - on the eve of the most difficult test of the entire study period, he worked all night to ensure that our application launched in Moscow on time and without problems. It’s funny, but we first met our iOS developer Egor Eremeev in person after the release of the first version of ETransport. Egor and Max met when they took the Unified State Exam in different cities (Egor in Naberezhnye Chelny, and Maxim in Yekaterinburg), but with equal diligence they solved tests for the Far East. Designer Pasha Osipkin found us himself - in January 2013, we received a letter from him in the mail, saying that your application is excellent, but the design is crap. So Pasha became part of our team, which we are still incredibly happy about.”

Until what time do buses run in Moscow? After all, the metropolis never sleeps and at night life only slows down slightly, but does not “die”.
Not everyone is rich enough to use a taxi, so it would be more advisable to simply check the bus times and routes.

What time do buses start in Moscow?

Mostly buses wake up at 5.30. Outlying routes start at 5.00. At the same time, trolleybuses and trams begin to operate.

Until what time do buses run in Moscow?

The shift of buses on outlying routes ends at 22.00; in the city until 24 hours there is still a chance to get home by bus.

There are also special night routes that are designed for night passengers.

There are 6 of these routes and they travel at 30-minute intervals along their routes. They start exactly at midnight and carry passengers along the following routes until 6 am:

H1 - Sheremetyevo Airport;
H2 - Belovezhskaya street;
H3 - Ussuriyskaya street;
H4 - Novokosino;
H5 - Kashirskoe highway, 148;
H6 - Ostashkovskaya street.

In chapter Maps, Transport, GPS to the question What time do buses start running in Moscow? given by the author Elena Turchinets the best answer is link

At 5 am the first one departs from the initial stop.

who the hell knows, they usually take the metro.

In! Walking buses have already appeared in the capital. And in the outback we drive them the old fashioned way.

Buses are trivial - like all public transport in the hero city of Moscow, from 5:45.

Until what time do buses run in Moscow: ground transport schedule

Moscow is, of course, a huge city. A lot of people live here - about 12,380,664 (as of 2017) people. And this figure is growing every year. The capital of the Russian Federation is attractive, of course, for a huge number of people both in our country and abroad. And probably many visitors would like to know until what time buses run in Moscow.

Types of public transport in the capital

Of course, most visitors prefer to travel around the capital by underground transport. The Moscow metro is designed very conveniently. You can use it to get to almost any part of the city. The capital's metro operates on normal days from 5:30 am. Stations close at one in the morning. This is, of course, also convenient. But, unfortunately, it is not always possible to get to the right place in Moscow by metro. Visitors and residents of the capital have to use land transport quite often.

If it is not possible to get directly to your destination by metro, the passenger can take:

Of course, most often guests of the capital use public transport such as minibuses and buses. They are the fastest way to get to your destination. And, unfortunately, there are not so many trams left in the capital.

There are many departure points for minibuses and city flights in the capital. But there are only two bus stations in Moscow:

Central (unofficial name “Shchelkovsky9raquo;), located on the highway of the same name, at house No. 75.

City air terminal on Leningradsky Prospekt, from which intercity buses depart.

Small bus stations in the capital are usually located near the metro entrances/exits. There are departure points for buses and minibuses, for example, at the stations “Vykhino9raquo;, “Tushinskaya9raquo;, “Orekhovo9raquo;, “Teply Stan”, “Krasnogvardeyskaya9raquo;, “Cherkizovskaya9raquo; etc. There are such nodes near the Kazan and Paveletsky railway stations.

There is also its own station in Northern Butovo. From here, for example, flight 858 departs to Shcherbinki. Some guests of the capital would like to know how long the Moscow-Shcherbinki bus No. 858 runs. The first flight on weekdays on this route departs at 05:20 (05:35 on weekends). The last one arrives in Butovo at 02:21.

From what time and until what time do buses run in Moscow?

Of course, the capital’s administration is doing everything possible to make moving around the city as convenient as possible for its residents and guests. In the mornings, most buses leave from stations and train stations at 5 am. On ordinary days, this type of transport in the capital most often finishes its work at 1.30 am. But there are, of course, many exceptions to this rule.

So, for example, routes duplicated by electric trains can also end at 23:00. And this is understandable. Late passengers will be able to easily reach their destination by rail. Some significant flights operate in the capital even later than 1.30. Many guests and residents of the city would probably like, for example, to find out how long the bus number 851 “Moscow - Sheremetyevo” runs. This flight ends at 1:50.

In most cases, Moscow minibuses operate on a slightly different schedule. They most often leave for the station at 21:00-22:00.

Of course, many guests and city residents would like to know, among other things, how long buses run in Moscow on holidays. On such days, the capital's bus stations most often operate as usual. But there are, of course, exceptions in this regard. For example, the city administration is changing the schedule of ground vehicles for the New Year. After all, at night on this day a lot of people move through the streets of the capital. For example, in 2017 in the Central Administrative District, bus service was extended to 3:00 hours.

How long do buses run in Moscow: night flights

So, on ordinary days, the capital’s buses only operate until 1.30. However, those passengers who missed their flight should not despair. Moscow is a big city, and life here is in full swing at night. Therefore, the capital also provides flights that ply around the city at this time of day. They usually run from 1 a.m. to 5:30 a.m.

There are only 11 night bus routes in the capital - these are Nos. H1-H6, No. 308, No. 63T and some other routes. Transport runs at this time of day mainly along significant lines.

Thus, we found out what time the buses run in Moscow. Flight 611 "Moscow - Vnukovo" departs from the airport for the last time at 1:22. The bus leaves Sheremetyevo at 1:50. Most routes leave for the park at 1:30.

Operating hours for other types of ground transport in the capital are slightly different. Thus, trolleybuses in Moscow generally run only until 12 o’clock at night. Some flights can carry passengers until 1:00 or 22:00. There are also several night trolleybuses in the capital. They usually run at intervals of an hour to railway stations or other similar significant places.

Trams in the capital usually start moving at six in the morning. In most cases, they finish their work at 00:35. There is only one night tram in the capital - No. 3. It runs through the entire Central Administrative District from the street. Akademika Yangelya to Chistye Prudy metro station.

What transport operates in Moscow at night?

Where can I see the public transport schedule?

You can find the schedule of the desired bus, trolleybus or tram on the website of the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans. The schedule varies depending on the day of the week. If you have forgotten the number of the bus you need, or do not know how to get to a certain place, you can clarify this on the Moscow Passenger portal, indicating the name of the stop.

How does transport work during the day and on holidays?

The operating hours of ground transport depend on the specific route. Usually the movement starts at 5.30-6.00. The last flights depart at different times. For example, bus No. 203 departs from the Tsaritsyno Metro stop at 1:08 on weekdays, and trolleybus No. 8 departs at 22:11 from the Moskvoretsky Market stop.

The metro opens at 5:30 am, and the crossings close at 1 am - this means that the last train leaves from each terminal station at this time. After 1 am the escalators do not work either. Of course, you can climb them on foot, but the main thing is not to miss the last train.

The Moscow Central Circle operates in almost the same way as the metro. The first trains depart at 5:45, and the last trains disembark passengers at approximately 1 am.

Electric trains start operating earlier than subway trains. The schedule depends on the departure and arrival stations. For example, you can leave from the Belorussky railway station to the Rabochiy Poselok station (not far from the Kuntsevskaya metro station) as early as 4:36 am on weekdays. The last trains from Moscow usually leave at 00:00-00:30.

The decision to change the operating mode of transport is made for each holiday separately. For the first time this year, on New Year's Eve, the metro operated around the clock. From half past twelve until 5.30, metro trains ran at intervals of 15 minutes. In past years, the subway's operating hours were only extended until 2 a.m. It is expected that this year the metro will operate around the clock and on City Day. All changes related to the operation of the metro can be found in the operational information department.

On the Moscow Central Circle on New Year's Day, trains ran from 00:30 to 05:30 in the morning with intervals of up to 12 minutes. Electric trains also ran longer than usual - on average until 3 am. The most popular ground transport routes this year operated throughout New Year's Eve.

You can find out about changes in the operating mode of ground transport on the website of the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans.

Travel by night transport costs the same as during the day. So, with the “Unified” subscription, one trip will cost 55 rubles, and with the “TAT” subscription - 65 rubles. With the Troika card, travel on ground transport costs 35 rubles. A ticket can also be purchased from the driver for 55 rubles.
