Starting November 8, Odintsovo and Krasnogorsk will be connected to Moscow by the capital's first commuter routes. Buses #1101 to Barvikha and #1290 to Moscow City Oncology Hospital #62 will begin running along Rublevo-Uspenskoe Highway from the Krylatskoye metro station. Seven modern buses, equipped to high Moscow standards, will operate on this route.
"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we are developing the Moscow suburban transport network. The new routes will begin operating on November 8th and will connect Moscow with the Odintsovo and Krasnogorsk urban districts. Modern buses will run from the Krylatskoye metro station to Barvikha and the village of Istra. In the coming weeks, we plan to launch two more routes to the Odintsovo urban district," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.
The fare on these routes will be fixed, and you only need to swipe your card at the entrance. A ride on bus #1101 with a Troika card will cost 100 rubles (or 101 rubles with a bank card), and on bus #1290, it will cost 90 rubles (or 91 rubles with a bank card). Passengers will also be able to pay for their rides using other payment methods, including Muscovite and Moscow Region resident cards. The Unified Suburban Zone ticket for students will also be valid with a Muscovite card, valid for 30 and 90 days with no travel limit.
In addition, residents of the region will have the option to pay for travel with unlimited single "Prigorod" zone passes for 30, 90, and 365 days. These include free transfers to the metro, Moscow Central Diameters, the Moscow Central Circle, and Moscow's ground transportation, as well as rides on electric boats, bicycles, and e-scooters from the Velobike service.
Modern, high-capacity Russian buses with a distinctive "Moscow-Region" decal will operate on the new suburban routes. The buses are equipped with climate control, wheelchair accessible seats, and low floors. They also feature large information screens, clear navigation, and voice announcements.
The number 1 will be added to the usual bus numbers to avoid duplication with city route numbers. This will help passengers remember that routes with four-digit numbers go to the region.
In accordance with the objectives of the national project Infrastructure for Life Moscow is placing significant emphasis on modernizing its social and public infrastructure, including increasing the number of convenient public transportation routes and upgrading its rolling stock. Furthermore, as part of the national project, Moscow has begun developing the Central Transport Hub. It will become a unified transport system with predictable commuter rail service for over 30 million residents in 11 Russian regions.
