All bus lines. How are numbers assigned to public transport routes? Scheme, working hours and schedule of MCC trains

You can also lay the route manually, armed with a map, pencil and ruler. But if you ended up on the route planner page, then another, often more convenient option is possible - laying a route online, one of which is offered to you on our site.

There are two types of routing: manual and automatic.

  • With manual laying, you put on the map a series of points that form an arbitrary route.
  • With automatic compilation, you need to specify the start and end points, and our service will lay the best route by itself, calculating the shortest path, taking into account traffic rules and the traffic situation at the moment.

On the compiled route, you will see all the roads and nearby intersections, which will be very useful for motorists and travelers. A map with a route in the city of Moscow will allow you to plan a route and will not let you get lost in an unfamiliar place.

To make a route on the map of the city of Moscow, enter the starting point in the first field of the form below and the end point in the second field. Then specify how you will travel to the final destination by clicking on the appropriate button - "By Car", "On Foot" or by Public Transport". After that, click on the "Show Route" button.

Public transport in Moscow 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, electric trains run around the city.

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

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

In contact with

Underground

The metro is the most popular mode of transportation for Muscovites and guests of the capital.

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

In terms of the quality of buildings, the expressiveness of the architectural ensemble, technical equipment, operational characteristics and comfort, the metro of the capital far surpasses 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.

Subway 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 beginner can get confused in the interweaving of subway lines, but all of them are united by one ring line. For the convenience of passengers, signs in Russian and English are placed 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 days off. After closing, the last train goes to the terminal station.

Fare

Currently, there are several types of travel tickets for travel on the subway:

  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 trips 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 ticket 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 nice bonus for those who plan to stay in Moscow for a week or more.
  3. Card "90 minutes". This card is valid for 90 minutes. One trip costs 65 rubles, two - 130 rubles. A ticket for 60 trips or more will cost 2650 rubles.
  4. Electronic cards Strelka and Troika. They can be used to pay for public transport. Upon receipt at the box office, you must leave a deposit of 50 rubles. You can replenish the balance on the card from any terminal or using the special mobile application of the Moscow Metro. The cost of one trip in the metro, monorail and on land transport with a Troika card will be only 36 rubles. The card is valid for five years.
  5. There are also social travel cards 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 society of collectors.

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

  1. The stations have four or more exits to the city, and in order not to lose time, you need to move closer to the center, the beginning, the end of the car in advance.
  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, without urgent need, not to get into the subway during rush hours, which fall in the early morning (07.00 - 09.00) and evening (17.00 - 20.00), since it will not be easy for a beginner to navigate in the mass influx of people.
  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 by the voice of a man, counterclockwise - by the voice of a woman.

Ground transport

Buses, trolleybuses, trams are no less popular types of land 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.

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

Every day, buses of semi-express routes deliver about 150 thousand people to their destinations. Thanks to additional dedicated lanes, the speed of buses increases.

Ticket prices

The price of one bus ticket for one trip is 55 rubles. It can be purchased from the bus driver or use the "Unified" travel card, which is sold at the metro ticket office or at the ticket office at the bus stop.

In addition to the "Single", there is a "TAT" pass (trolley bus / bus / tram), an "A" bus pass.

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

Press Service of State Unitary Enterprise "Mosgortrans"

All routes of urban passenger transport of the capital have one-digit, two-digit and three-digit numbers. This numbering has developed historically and does not change. On new directions, transport is assigned new numbers or numbers of previously canceled routes. All numbering is individual, but there are also coincidences: the routes of different modes of transport can be marked in the same way. So, tram number 3, trolleybus number 3 and bus number 3 travel around the city, but they all follow different routes.

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

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

There is no special transport numbering system in Moscow - it is a wild mixture between hundred-year-old route numbers, Stalinist, Brezhnev and 1990s numbers. They all piled on top of each other.

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

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