The Krasnogorsk commuter route maintenance facility has reopened as part of the Moscow-Region project. Buses on route No. 1981 are now being serviced there, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.
"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we continue to develop ground transportation in the Moscow region as part of the Moscow-Region project. To improve the efficiency of suburban routes, we have reopened the Mosgortrans site in Krasnogorsk. In the future, we will service more routes to the surrounding Moscow region from here," noted Maxim Liksutov.
Workstations were set up at the site for specialists, including medical personnel, dispatchers, and other staff. Utilities were installed and equipment was commissioned at the car wash complex, and the daily technical inspection line was reopened.
By 2025, the Moscow transport system will include 25 commuter bus routes, connecting the capital with nearby towns and villages in the northwest and west of the region. This decision is the result of close cooperation between the governments of Moscow and the Moscow region. Its goal is to create a unified, convenient, and predictable transportation system for everyone who travels daily between the capital and the region.
All new routes will be served by buses that meet Moscow public transport standards. These are modern, low-floor, Russian-made vehicles equipped with climate control, USB charging ports, and media screens. They are adapted for transporting passengers in wheelchairs, bicycles, and strollers. A special "Moscow-to-Region" design has been developed for these buses to make them easily distinguishable from other city buses.
Since the beginning of the year, more than 20 interregional routes have been added to the Moscow transport system. Over 150 buses operate on these routes on weekdays, connecting the capital with nearby cities in the Moscow region. The new routes are compatible with Unified Suburban Zone passes with unlimited trips, as well as Moscow and Moscow Region social cards. This allows passengers to save up to 60 percent on their annual fares. A monthly pass costs 3,940 rubles, a three-month pass costs 10,080 rubles, and an annual pass costs 29,400 rubles. Students and schoolchildren are offered discounted rates of 1,390 rubles for 30 days and 3,960 rubles for 90 days.
The launch of each route is accompanied by extensive preparatory work between the Moscow and Moscow region transportation systems. This includes checking route routes and ensuring travel safety, updating existing schedules, testing systems, and informing residents of changes before the launch of new bus routes and during their first days of operation. Moscow is developing its surface urban transportation, which improves the quality of life. Thanks to regular fleet renewal, the average age of buses in the capital remains one of the lowest in Russia and Europe.
By 2028, at least 30 percent of all suburban routes will be included in the capital's public transportation system. The project's main goal is to make suburban travel for Moscow and Moscow region residents as comfortable as travel within the city.
New routes from Moscow to the Moscow region will begin operating on December 13.Passengers made a million trips on Moscow's suburban transport routes.Another 12 suburban Moscow transport routes will appear by the end of the year.
