A balanced transportation system that flexibly adapts to the needs of each resident is the foundation of an efficient city. Sergei Sobyanin outlined this in his annual report on the Moscow Government's performance.
The key objectives of the capital's transport strategy are to ensure the availability of the basic rail framework and urban ground transport for the maximum number of city residents, to improve the quality of rolling stock by introducing the most modern trains, trams and electric buses onto the lines, to improve the situation on the roads and to reduce the harmful impact of transport on the environment.
"We continue to actively develop the metro. In September, construction of the main section of the Troitskaya Line from ZIL to Kommunarka was completed. In October, construction began on the southern section of this line. Construction of the Rublevo-Arkhangelskaya Line is in full swing. Construction of the long-awaited Biryulevskaya Line, as well as Golyanovo and Dostoyevskaya stations, has begun. Preparations are underway for the start of construction of Yuzhny Port station in Pechatniki," the Moscow Mayor noted.
Long-term plans for metro development are already being actively developed. Specifically, plans are underway to extend the Filyovskaya Line, which will provide additional impetus for the development of the Mozhaisk District and the Skolkovo Innovation Center.
The Central Transport Hub's rail infrastructure is being actively modernized. This year, the main organizational issues related to the extension of the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) to major cities in Central Russia were resolved.
"Of course, the most important event of 2025 was the start of construction on Russia's first high-speed line between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Another major goal is to continue the systematic renewal of public transportation rolling stock. As promised, new trains have arrived on the Zamoskvoretskaya metro line," added Sergei Sobyanin.
On the Green Line, 55 percent of the rolling stock is new. By 2030, the proportion of new metro cars will reach 90 percent.
The MCD rolling stock has also been fully upgraded. Furthermore, trains have begun to be replaced with modern ones on the Yaroslavsky and other Moscow Railway lines.
Furthermore, the Moscow tram will be the first driverless urban transport system in Russia. The initial test in Strogino was quite successful. By 2030, this technology is expected to cover two-thirds of Moscow's tram fleet.
"At the same time, we are beginning to test driverless technologies in the Moscow Metro. To reduce the negative impact of transport on the environment, the Moscow Government will continue to encourage the electrification of public and private transport," said Sergei Sobyanin.
Today, Moscow's transportation system effectively meets current demand from residents and tourists, and its active development paves the way for Moscow's growth for years and even decades to come.
