Moscow transport.
The past year, 2025, has been a year of large-scale transport and industrial transformation for Moscow. Under the leadership of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the city has fulfilled all its commitments to residents to develop the city's transport system and industrial potential. Comfort, safety, and the trust of Muscovites remain at the core of all decisions and projects.
Moscow transport. Moscow Metro.
The key result of the year was not the number of completed projects, but the growing trust of city residents in public transportation. Today, approximately 70% of all trips in Moscow are made on public transportation—one of the best rates in the world. More and more residents are choosing the metro, electric buses, trams, car sharing, and taxis, prioritizing convenience, reliability, and care.
In 2025, major infrastructure projects were completed in the capital. Modern, domestically produced "Moscow-2026" trains began operating on the Zamoskvoretskaya metro line, and the rolling stock on the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) was fully upgraded. A third route of unique electric ships began operating, and the fleet grew by more than 50%. Four new stations opened on the Troitskaya metro line.
The opening of Russia's first fully driverless tram was a landmark event. This innovative technology, once considered a future-proof feature, is already being used in everyday passenger travel without compromising comfort or safety.
2025 also marked a turning point for tram development. Moscow's first tram diameter, the T1, opened, operating as an overground metro with intervals of up to six minutes. The country's first autonomous trams, "Lvenok-Moscow," entered service.
Particular attention was paid to integrating the capital and the Moscow region. Twenty-five suburban ground routes have already been upgraded to the high standards of Moscow Transport, ensuring passengers a consistent quality of service regardless of their location.
Moscow remains one of the leaders in Russia for road safety. Despite its high population density and traffic flow, the city's social risk is several times lower than the Russian average. This work is based on the global Vision Zero concept, aimed at achieving zero road traffic fatalities.
The capital's industry is making a significant contribution to the development of the transport system. The first electric vessels have been laid down at the new Moscow Shipyard—a unique facility in Russia with a capacity to produce up to 40 vessels per year. By 2025, the city will receive over 500 modern electric buses, allowing Moscow to maintain its leadership in Europe in terms of the number of environmentally friendly urban transport vehicles.
The Technopolis Moscow special economic zone produces high-tech products for the medical, transportation, industrial, and space industries. Today, Moscow's industry provides stable employment for every tenth resident of the capital. More than 4,600 enterprises operate in the city, and private investment in fixed assets exceeded 5.2 trillion rubles in the first three quarters of 2025.
In 2026, Moscow will continue implementing its Development Strategy through 2030. Plans include expanding the city's rail network, opening the first section of the Rublevo-Arkhangelskaya metro line, launching the second tram diameter (T2), and converting 15 trams to driverless mode. The renovation of the tram fleet and trains on the Zamoskvoretskaya metro line will be fully completed, and rolling stock replacement on the Yaroslavskoye line will continue. Plans also include launching a fourth regular river route and adding eight more electric vessels to the fleet.
All of these projects are not just infrastructure solutions, but real improvements in quality of life: convenience, safety, time savings, and increased trust among residents.
Moscow transport continues to operate for the city and its residents.
