Over 380 updated route signs have been installed across all of the capital's trams. Navigation specialists developed the signs in a unified style, based on passenger preferences and habits. The new signs prominently highlight tram route numbers and their final stops, as well as indicate key streets in various districts and transfers to metro stations, the Moscow Central Circle, Moscow Central Diameters, and train stations.
"We've already done a lot to make tram infrastructure navigation clear and convenient. At Sergei Sobyanin's direction, we created a unified map of all routes in 2024. Last spring, we posted brief travel instructions and QR codes with tram arrival forecasts at all stops. This fall, we completed equipping all trams with more than 380 route signs with essential information for passengers," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.
Previously, tram route signs did not meet Moscow's public transportation requirements. They used different fonts, the names of termini were not clearly visible, and the names of key streets were easily confused. Passengers also lacked detailed information about transfers to metro lines and an expanded list of the main streets along the route. Furthermore, the text elements were made of adhesive film, and high humidity often caused the letters to peel off. This design was used on some routes since the mid-2000s.
All information on navigation elements is now printed in color. To ensure passengers can easily understand the information, specialists have retained the familiar format for listing key streets and transport facilities, placing them in a row but more clearly separating the names.
