Over 400 new electric buses will join the city's fleet in 2026. Sergei Sobyanin announced this on his channel in messenger MAX.
"As a result, the general
number of cars "The number of electric buses will exceed 3,300, and their share in the Mosgortrans fleet will reach 45 percent. Moscow will maintain its leadership among European and US cities in the number of electric buses," the Moscow Mayor noted.

The capital's fleet of eco-friendly buses has reached nearly three thousand, making the Russian capital the leader in the number of electric buses, which operate approximately 270 ground transportation routes and transport over a million passengers daily.
Moscow's electric buses are among the best in the world in terms of price and quality. Electric buses meet the world's most stringent passenger service standards and significantly reduce the city's environmental impact. Replacing one bus with an electric bus reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 60 tons per year.
Moscow purchases electric buses under life-cycle contracts. For 15 years from the date of delivery to the Mosgortrans fleet, the manufacturer is fully responsible for the technical integrity of each vehicle and guarantees safe operation throughout its entire service life.
In 2025, the city's fleet was expanded with 605 state-of-the-art electric buses, replacing buses on dozens of routes across the capital. This brings the share of electric buses in Mosgortrans's fleet to 41 percent.
Alongside the rolling stock upgrade, the city is actively developing its electric charging infrastructure. Over 460 ultra-fast charging stations with a capacity of 300 kilowatts have been installed in depots and terminal stations. Another 300 charging stations are planned for installation by the end of the year.
Ground transport route network
In 2025, city authorities improved over 160 bus and electric bus routes. To improve accessibility ahead of the opening of the new Troitskaya metro line stations, 17 routes were adjusted. 455,000 residents can now access the new stations via popular routes.
A new route network was implemented in five districts. This reduced duplication and created new transportation links. Routes were adjusted to improve accessibility to medical facilities, and transportation services to 16 residential complexes were improved.
“In addition, the first ones were launched
25 routes "From the capital to the nearest Moscow region as part of a project to integrate suburban routes into the Moscow transport system," added Sergei Sobyanin.
They connected metro stations near the Moscow Ring Road with the urban districts of Odintsovsky, Khimki, Krasnogorsk and Dolgoprudny.
By 2026, the Moscow-Region project plans to expand service to more than 50 routes between the capital and the region. Over 500 new Russian-made buses have been purchased for this purpose.
Last year, six new main routes were launched in various parts of the city. These routes reduced travel times to the nearest metro stations, the Moscow Central Circle, and the Moscow Central Diameters for over 1.2 million residents, and also opened new inter-district connections. Currently, 73 main routes are in operation in the capital, carrying over 860,000 trips on weekdays. Five more main routes are planned for 2026, opening in various districts of the city.
To improve ground transportation, Moscow continues to install dedicated lanes. Last year, 20 kilometers of these lanes were installed, and a similar number are planned for this year. As a result, the total length of these lanes in Moscow will exceed 530 kilometers. Their installation improves the comfort and safety of public transportation: it reduces the number of accidents, improves schedule compliance, and facilitates over three million trips per day.
