Map of tram stops. Tram A - Metro Chistye Prudy - Kaluzhskaya Square
Service facilities and tram park of the city of Moscow. The year the Moscow tram appeared was 1899. The tram service is managed by the Mosgortrans organization. As of April 2018, the city has 48 tram routes, of which three are shortened. There are 5 depots. The scheme is divided into 2 unequal parts. There are no plans to increase the number of tram lines yet.
Designs and diagram of Moscow tram routes
The type of construction of Moscow tram tracks is sleeper-crushed stone and sleeper-sand. In some places there are no sleepers at all. The type of coating is dominated by sand-concrete tiles. Asphalt surfaces are common, but less common. A small proportion (8 km each) have block and rocky surfaces. The latter was very common in past times, and then it was replaced by other types of coating. At intersections with roads, rubber panels are used, sometimes extended reinforced concrete slabs or reinforced concrete-rubber slabs are used. There is no coverage at all on 25 km of tracks.
The total length of tram lines is 418 kilometers. The Moscow tram scheme consists of two spatially separated parts: the main and northwestern parts. There is a road connection between them.
Moscow tram cars
In Moscow, trams of various designs dating back to different eras are used. There are also service cars. A large number of old carriages were transferred to the museum. In 2018, there are about 900 trams in Moscow designed to transport passengers, and 810 are in working order.
In 2017, the Moscow tram fleet was significantly updated. Out on routes a large number of three-section Vityaz-M cars, and outdated cars, on the contrary, were taken out of service. The new ones are of the low-floor type and have a modern design. Similar trams now run in the east, northeast, southeast, as well as in the south and center of the Russian capital. They provide tram service on 15 routes. Their total is 200 units. They carry approximately 1,000,000 passengers per week. They are expected to operate for 30 years.
In terms of amenities, the new cars are a winner. They have more seats, there is a playground for children's supplies. The number of forward-facing seats has been increased by 30 percent. total area, where people can be, has also grown. The number of screens has increased.
Prospects for the development of the Moscow tram
Basically, the development of the Moscow tram follows the path of modernization and renewal of the tram fleet and existing lines. The last tram line appeared on the Moscow tram map in 1982, and then there was only a shortening of the tracks. Two small lines that were previously closed reopened in 2012. On this moment There is no specific information about the expansion of the tram network, although there are a number of projects.
There is also a discussion about the possibility of closing monorail lines and replacing them with tram lines.
Tram route No. 39
There are a large number of tram routes in Moscow. The city looks like a ring slightly elongated along the meridian, bounded by the Moscow Ring Road. Some areas are located outside of it. Tram route 39 (Moscow) serves passengers in the central part of the Russian capital. Its address is Chistoprudny Boulevard, 1. Users rate it 3.7 points out of a possible five. They praise the convenience and speed. And the area itself where this route is laid is also praised.
Conclusion
Thus, the Moscow tram scheme is large system tram lines, operating for many decades. It consists of two parts. The development of the tram is taking place along the path of its modernization, and not by increasing the number of lines.
I discovered that even if you have an unlimited metro pass and ground transport, the metro is not always the fastest and most successful way to get around Moscow. It is more convenient to combine all transports. Let's see how the tram compares favorably with its transport counterparts.
Study period: it extended from 05/10/2017 to 07/11/2017 (I didn’t study the route to Krylatskoye, then I’ll take a ride, not on purpose)
Tram 3 (longest route at night 18.7 km) - Metro " Chistye Prudy» — Balaklava Avenue (at night - Academician Yangel Street)
Pros of the tram
- Sometimes convenient routes. Tram rails sometimes they can connect the points you need with a shorter route
- Stability of movement. Trams do not get stuck in traffic jams; they have separate tracks. Sometimes they stand at traffic lights, but in general they are more in motion
- Aesthetics. The metro runs underground, where it is not as interesting outside the window as outside the window of the tram, especially in clear weather
- Comfort. A tram rides smoother than a trolleybus or bus. Generally.
- Railroading. For railway lovers: the tram is more railway than the metro
- Environmentally friendly. The tram is healthier: it runs on electricity, so it doesn’t stink of gasoline or exhaust fumes
Tram route map
The most interesting routes for me:
They turned out to be B, 3, 7, 24, 46, 50, 11-half from Ostankino, 6 from Sokol to the Moscow Canal, 27, 17, and, judging by the water capacity around, you will like 31, 28 in Krylatskoye (but this is not checked I will, I’ll leave it to those who wish).
Moscow tram routes:
Tram A – Metro “Chistye Prudy” – Kaluzhskaya Square
The center of Moscow, interesting. But he got caught during road repairs. It happened that I had to stand in a traffic jam with cars.
Tram B - Sokolnicheskaya Zastava - Kursky Station
Interesting. Before Kursky railway station.
Tram 1 – Moskvoretsky Market – Academician Yangel Street
Tram 2 – Metro “Semenovskaya” – Children’s sanatorium
Subjectively, I didn’t really like the route. And chats in the lineup. I understood why the corners of trams are cut off, so that the cabin and stern are narrow - on turns, oncoming trams would collide at the corners if the trains were rectangular. The final stop “Children's Sanatorium” is a great place to start a bike ride around Losiny Island.
Tram 3 (longest route at night 18.7 km)— Metro “Chistye Prudy” — Balaklavsky Prospekt (at night - Academician Yangel Street)
24/7, runs at night. Today it is the longest tram route in Moscow at night: the travel distance is 18.7 km, the total time (including the night interval) is 1 hour 22 minutes.
Tram 4l — Metro “Ulitsa Podbelskogo” — Sokolnicheskaya Zastava — ring
Tram 4pr - Metro "Ulitsa Podbelskogo" - Sokolnicheskaya Zastava - ring
Tra Mwai 6 - metro station "Sokol" - Bratsevo ( Tram 6k - Eastern Bridge - Bratsevo)
Modern new compositions with accordion. From Sokol to the Moscow Canal is interesting. The journey to Tushino is already monotonous and takes a long time.
Tram 7 – Metro station “Rokossovskogo Boulevard” (until 2014 “Ulitsa Podbelskogo”) – Metro “Novoslobodskaya”
It goes smoothly, especially the first half of the way from the Rokossovsky Boulevard metro station.
Tram 8 – Novokonnaya Square – 3rd Vladimirskaya Street
Tram 9 — Metro “Belorusskaya” — MIIT
Tram 10 – Metro “Schukinskaya” – Tallinskaya street
Tram 11 - Ostankino - 16th Parkovaya Street
The first half is interesting, where there are small streets and Izmailovsky Park. Along the straight, long Pervomaiskaya Street it’s no longer particularly interesting.
Tram 12 – Entuziastov Passage – 2nd Mashinostroeniya Street
From Enthusiastov Highway to Dubrovka.
Tram 13 - Kalanchevskaya street - Children's sanatorium
It’s also not particularly interesting, it goes along a straight big street to 3 railway stations.
Tram 14 – Kaluzhskaya Square – Metro “University”
Tram 15 - Metro Sokol - Tallinnaya Street
Tram 16 – Serpukhovsky Val Street – Academician Yangel Street
Tram 17 – Ostankino – Medvedkovo
A pleasant route with new trains. I rode sitting sideways, like on the subway. Comfortable, you can do business on the road.
Tram 19 – Kalanchevskaya street – Metro “Novoslobodskaya”
Tram 20 - Kursky Station - Ugreshskaya Street
Tram 21 — Metro “Schukinskaya” — Tallinskaya street

From Kursky Station I drove back to Lefortovo Park.
Tram 25 – Ostankino – Sokolnicheskaya Zastava
Tram 26 - Kaluzhskaya Square - Metro "University"
The residential areas are not very interesting. The tram I came across is not very new, although it has electricity, it smells of technical substances, which makes you feel sick and nauseous.
Tram 27 — Metro “Voikovskaya” — Metro “Dmitrovskaya”
Nice route. There is greenery, the streets are small, it does not go along the main road.
Tram 28 – Metro “Sokol” – Marshala Zhukov Avenue
Tram 29 – Children’s sanatorium – Bogorodskoye
Tram 30 – Mikhalkovo – Tallinskaya street
Tram 31 – Metro “Voikovskaya” – Marshal Zhukov Avenue
Tram 32 – Proezd Entuziastov – Metro “Partizanskaya”
Tram 33 — Metro “Rokossovsky Boulevard” — Sokolnicheskaya Zastava
Tram 34 - 16th Parkovaya Street - Novogireevo
Tram 34k - 16th Parkovaya Street - Semyonovskaya metro station
Tram 35 – Novokonnaya Square – Nagatino
Fine.

Tram 43 – Metro “Semyonovskaya” – Ugreshskaya street
Tram 45 – Sokolnicheskaya Zastava – Novokonnaya Square
Tram 46 — Metro “Rokossovsky Boulevard” — Metro “Proletarskaya”
It’s nice from Ilyich Square to Proletarskaya - such a calm section.
Tram 47 – Kaluzhskaya Square – Nagatino
Tram 47k – Nizhniye Kotly – Nagatino
Tram 49 - Balaklava Avenue - Nagatino
Tram 50 - Kalanchevskaya street - Entuziastov Passage
This is more interesting. In general, routes along small streets are more interesting and beautiful. Look for these.
Results: To summarize, I would like to say that riding trams is a pleasant experience from time to time. They generally run smoother, especially in the north, where there are new trains. At first I assumed that it would be faster to travel by trams. It turned out that this is not so. In most cases, the meter will come out faster. Also, the ground public is more cheerful and positive than the crowds in the subway.
Without interrupting their work for the traditional weekend, already on Saturday the cars of the Moscow tram route № 20 back on line. They took passengers along the new route. And this is only the first step in adjusting the next group of metropolitan rail routes.
“Twenty” was the first to be changed
From December 23, 2017, the tram route № 20 "Art. Ugreshskaya - Kursky Station" has been seriously updated. It has been switched to daily operation, movement intervals have been reduced, last flights began to leave two and a half hours later.
But the main thing is the change in route. Traffic on the section from the Museum named after. Andrey Rublev to Ugreshskaya MCC station filmed. Instead, the cars are directed along Andronevsky Proezd and Volochaevskaya Street to Krasnokazarmennaya Square. Departure from Kursky Station daily from 5:36 to 23:36, from Krasnokazarmennaya Square - from 5:48 to 23:48. Movement intervals are nine minutes, in the early morning and late evening hours - up to 12 minutes.
Route popularity № 20 significantly decreased a decade and a half ago after the opening of the first stage of the Lublin metro line, which ended in 1999 with the launch of the Dubrovka station. Traffic intervals on the route during certain hours gradually increased to 40 minutes. At the same time, the connection between Volochaevskaya Street and Kursky Station and transfer hub of the three stations of the Moscow metro, it turned out to be in demand every time it spontaneously arose during temporary changes to tram routes. Locals They have been asking for a long time to make a permanent route for them, but they were finally heard only very recently.
Changing route № 20 - only the first in an already planned chain of optimizations of eight metropolitan tram routes, which have already been approved in the city register of routes.
Immediate plans
It has already been decided that the route № 3 “Balaklavsky Ave. – The Chistye Prudy metro will be extended along Chertanovskaya Street to the final station “Ulitsa Akademika Yangelya” along the night route No. 3n, now operating six nights a week, except the nights from Sunday to Monday. At the same time, the production of wagons on the route will cease № 16 "St. Academician Yangel – Serpukhov Val.”
Will mutually exchange final stops routes №№ 34 “16th Parkovaya St. - Novogireevo" and 36 "Children's sanatorium - 3rd Vladimirskaya street." Route № 34 will be shortened to 3rd Vladimirskaya Street, and the route № 36 , on the contrary, will be extended to the final station “Novogireevo”.
It is planned to shorten the tram route to the Semenovskaya metro station instead of the Partizanskaya metro station № 32 "Etc. Enthusiasts - Partizanskaya Metro. And the route № 12 "Etc. Enthusiastov - 2nd st. Mechanical Engineering", on the contrary, will extend along Entuziastov Highway, Ave. Budyonny, Izmailovskoe highway, st. Izmailovsky Val, Shcherbakovskaya St., 2nd St. Izmailovsky Menagerie to the Partizanskaya metro station.
After the change, route cars will be able to drive closer to the lobby of the Sokolniki metro station, where it was in early December. № 25 "Ostankino - Sokolnicheskaya outpost." The route will be extended along 2nd Polevoy lane, st. Stromynka, Babaevskaya st. and st. Sailor's Silence to Bolshoy Matrossky lane. with a turn through the tram depot named after. Rusakova.
The route will be slightly straightened № 46 "Metro Boulevard Rokossovsky - Metro Proletarskaya." His entry to Malaya Semenovskaya Street, Semenovsky Lane will be canceled. and Izmailovskaya st. when going to the Proletarskaya metro station.
What else is being prepared?
Mass deliveries of three-section 71-931M Vityaz-M cars, of which there were already 110 in Moscow by the end of 2017, are encouraging metropolitan transport workers to review the Moscow tram route network. Capacious carriages are sent to routes with high passenger traffic. After the complete transfer of the tram depot named after. Bauman to service the “Vityaz”, their arrival will begin at other depots – Oktyabrskoye and them. Rusakova. The separate network of the Krasnopresnensky depot, which previously received 70 Pesa cars, will remain unchanged for now. And on the main network, the appearance of new cars will cause inevitable changes in routes. Some of them will even change their depot of registration - it will depend on the type of rolling stock.
The oldest surviving tram depot named after. Apakova will continue to work with traditional single-section cars and coupled cars based on the Tatra T3 model. “Short” cars will also be worked on at the site of the Tramway Repair Plant, which is being returned to work.
And for work with new modern cars, another territory occupied by the Logistics Base of the State Unitary Enterprise “Mosgortrans” on Ugreshskaya Street will be adapted. A tram maintenance and repair facility will appear here, with a storage area for 150 three-section trams. Project financing is included in the Targeted Investment Program of the city of Moscow. A competition for the design of a new transport facility has already been announced.
Mass production of three-section cars with increased current consumption in the capital requires ensuring a stable power supply and modernizing the contact network. To identify “weak points,” Mosgortrans ordered work to calculate the power supply of the contact network. However, not a single applicant showed up for the competition held in December. The capital's tram operators revealed plans for further changes in routes to the competition participants. All calculations needed to be done for a promising route network, which even included some areas just being prepared for construction.
Thus, according to preliminary information, from the side of Akademika Yangelya Street to Biryulyovo-Zapadnoye they are going to redirect the route instead of the Moskvoretsky Market № 1 , and to connect with areas closer to the center, extend the route from Balaklava Avenue № 49 .
They want to leave the routes unchanged No. 4 (right And left), 7, 11, 13, 14, 26, 29, 35, 36, 37, 39, 47. Routes may be redundant in the new network No. 2, 9, 20, 32, 34k, 38, 40, 45, B– they are compensated by other variable routes. Some of them will almost double in size.
The longest route (26.9 km long) should be № 12 . It will connect 16th Parkovaya Street and Cheryomushki, completely absorbing the route № 38 . The route in the projected network will be slightly shorter (23 km long) № 25 . According to preliminary information, in this form it will connect Medvedkovo and Kursky Station, passing through Oleniy Val Street, Baumanskaya and Volochaevskaya streets and absorbing part of the route routes No. B And 45 .
The length of the route will change slightly № 8 – from 9.9 to 9.4 km. Previously, it was planned to run it from 3rd Vladimirskaya Street instead of Novokonnaya Square to Kursky Station along the restored line, but the decision to revive this line has so far been blocked by local social activists.
Route № 19 from Kalanchevskaya Street, instead of Novovorotnikovsky Lane, they will be directed to Tverskaya Zastava, and along it old highway the route will be extended № 50 . Such measures will make it possible to refuse to use the route № 9 . Route № 24 from Kursky Station, instead of Novogireev, it will only go to Entuziastov Proezd. The route will be shortened even further № 34 - instead of the previous 17.7 km from its route, only 8.06 km will be left, which is approximately equal to the distance along the route of the current route No. 34k from 16th Parkovaya Street to Malaya Semenovskaya Street. Route routes will become longer №№ 43 (18.2 km instead of 15.4 km), 46 (17.0 km instead of 16.7) and A(16.0 km instead of 10.2).
Note that with the existing network, “Annushka” will not be able to increase in size that much. The location of all existing tram rings allows you to organize a route of either greater or lesser length. Apparently, plans for the legendary capital route were also drawn up taking into account new construction (the line on Academician Sakharov Avenue, or a turn from the center to the Novospassky Bridge on Paveletskaya Square).
Vityaz-M cars are going to be used to fully equip the routes №№ 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 17, 26, 36, 37, 39, 50 . The remaining routes on the main network will continue to be operated by single carriages. And only on the route № 1 will maintain the operation of couplers of two Tatra T3 type cars in a multi-unit system.
However, it is known that the more long-term plans are, the more all kinds of changes can occur with their implementation. Therefore, with greater confidence we can expect in the coming months only those changes that are already included in the city register.
Let us remember that in September tram service to Tverskaya Zastava and three auxiliary tram routes were opened in Moscow.
"Moscow routes, familiar routes
Let's sit in the "bug" and wave at random:
In a wide circle, the Garden ring,
Through the narrow streets we’ll turn towards Arbat.”
Do you like to ride around the city on ground transport? I am very! When I have a choice between metro, tram/bus, I always choose the second option.
Can anything compare to a leisurely ride through the city streets? And if public transport still wandering around historical center when it’s so interesting to look at passers-by and familiar sights from the bus window - it’s absolutely priceless))
In any new place, I always choose to travel by public transport; I begin to look at the city and people with completely different eyes.
City portal I have put together an interesting selection of routes for connoisseurs like me. I am sharing with you, friends.
The shortest bus route is A
The length of this route, stretching from Academician Zelinsky Street to the Universitet metro station, is only a little more than 3 kilometers. Pedestrian with average speed can cover this distance in 30-40 minutes. But when you are in a hurry, there is no time for walking, so the bus is very necessary here, especially considering that its main function is to connect two metro lines. He does this quickly, as he drives on a road free of traffic jams. It stops moving at 10 pm.
Unique route - monorail
From the Timiryazevskaya metro station to Sergei Eisenstein Street or back, you can travel on the only monorail in Russia, which began operating in November 2004 as excursion route, because along it are located the entrance to the All-Russian Exhibition Center, the television center, the Sheremetev estate, and other Moscow attractions. Now about 20 thousand people use it every day. Metro tickets are valid here; you can transfer from the Timiryazevskaya and VVTs stations for free.
Tram route "Annushka" - A
This route has been operating for more than 100 years, and, undoubtedly, during this time it has become the most famous not only for Muscovites, but also for guests of the city. First, he walked along the Boulevard Ring, called “Ring A,” which Muscovites affectionately turned into “Annushka.” Then it changed its route several times and now starts from Kaluzhskaya Square and goes through the center of the capital to Chistye Prudy. Despite the change in direction, the people firmly attached the name to this route. Some readers of The Master and Margarita associate the name “Annushka” with the death of Berlioz, but in fact they have nothing in common. The peculiarity of “Annushka” is that it includes a restaurant car of the same name and the only one in Moscow.
Tram route No. 9 with a turnaround at a dead end
Not far from the Mendeleevskaya metro station there is an unusual tram route for Moscow, the trains of which consist of two coupled cars with 5 doors on each side. He walks along Lesnaya Street to Belorussky railway station. It was the large number of people and cars in the center, as well as the development of offices on the tram ring, that led to the use of the “push-pull” shuttle system, in which the cars, like in the subway, do not turn around, but travel back and forth, and their doors open on both sides .
Most a tourist route tram - No. 39
The route of tram No. 39, like Annushki, begins at Chistye Prudy, then passes along the Boulevard Ring and ends at the University metro station. And it has always been this way, since its opening in 1963. It is touristy because, sitting in a tram car at the window, any tourist will see, passing, and where necessary, and getting out, ancient estates and houses, Donskoy and St. Daniel monasteries, Lomonosovsky and Leninsky prospects with their Stalinist buildings. And having arrived at the final point, everyone can walk to the main building of the legendary Moscow State University.
The most tourist trolleybus route is No. 7
Some Muscovites prefer to travel by trolleybuses, and if their tourists ask them to name a route convenient for them, they will, of course, recommend No. 7. It goes from Kaluga Square (near Gorky Park) to Victory Park. These stops themselves will interest guests of the capital, and having settled down on the trolleybus, we drive along Leninsky Prospekt, further along Kosygina Street, then through observation deck Sparrow Hills, then near the Moscow State University building and along the Moskva River embankment to Kievsky railway station, at which we turn to Kutuzov Avenue and we move to the end. Any stop is an opportunity to see old and new Moscow.
The most innovative tram route - No. 1 7
What innovations can there be in tram route? But they can: firstly, insulating the canvas from road transport, secondly, new technology fastening of rails and sleepers, thirdly, boarding platforms and tram steps at the same level, fourthly, passengers boarding is carried out at all doors. And fifthly, it is also planned to provide tram traffic lights for the “green wave” for ourselves. Don't believe that this can all happen? Take tram No. 17, which goes along the Ostankino-Medvedkovo route.
Trolleybus route "Bukashka" - B
Once upon a time, in 1912, on the Garden Ring, which was called “Ring B”, the place of horse-drawn cars was taken by a tram, which was replaced 25 years later by a trolleybus. Its route, naturally, was called “B”, but the name “Bukashka”, given by Muscovites to the tram, became familiar to the new type of transport. Now on the outside and inside Garden Ring passengers travel in trolleybuses with stencils “B-red” and “B-black”. On the outer route on Saturdays, paying no more for the fare than before, you will become a listener to bard songs.
