In September 2024, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin opened a tram line more than 860 meters long, which made it possible to organize a new tram route No. 2 "3rd Vladimirskaya Street" – "Kursky Station".
Maxim Liksutov noted that more than 150 units of historical equipment participated in the parade and exhibition of retro transport on July 12: 16 trams of different generations, about 80 rally crews and about 75 cars, including the Ikarus-280 bus.
🔹 The parade and exhibition were attended by more than 140 thousand spectators
🔹 Not only trams from different eras were presented, but also exhibits from the Moscow Transport Museum and the Museum of the Special Purpose Garage of the Federal Security Service of Russia
🔹 Spectators were even able to see a horse-drawn tram – the predecessor of the electric tram
🔹 The atmosphere of old Moscow was recreated by historical reenactors, and the concert program included artists from the “Music in the Metro” project, the Moscow Metro Academic Choir, and DJ Smash
This is already the 19th tram parade. The parade was headed by a horse-drawn tram pulled by four horses. Such events are popular with Muscovites and traditionally attract a large number of spectators. On the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, further organization of even more interesting events for residents and guests of the capital continues, added Maxim Liksutov.
