Development of transport infrastructure

Moscow is developing its ground passenger transport network. Last year, modern technology began to be deployed on suburban routes. This improves the quality of life not only in the capital but also in the Moscow region. The opening of new interregional routes will boost the development of transport infrastructure in the Moscow region. Specifically, modern bus stops will be installed, dedicated lanes will be developed, and new and existing transport hubs will be built. Various modes of public transport will provide daily travel from the Moscow region to the capital and back. By 2028, the Moscow transport system plans to integrate at least 30 percent of existing suburban routes.

In 2025, 25 existing suburban routes operating in the northwest and west were integrated into the Moscow transport system. More than 50 new routes are planned for integration in 2026. This was made possible thanks to an agreement between the governments of Moscow and the Moscow region. These routes have adopted Moscow transport standards, including convenient bus intervals and schedules, modern rolling stock, and professional drivers.

You can pay for your trip with a Troika card, which you can purchase and top up at Moscow Metro ticket offices and ticket vending machines. You can also top up your card online through the Moscow Metro or Moscow Transport mobile app, then activate the remote top-up feature at any validator on board the bus.

In accordance with the objectives of the national project Infrastructure for Life Moscow is focusing on modernizing its social and public infrastructure, including increasing the number of convenient public transportation routes and upgrading its rolling stock.

"We are honored that our district's deputy is delivering his report to the public at GUU. I would like to point out that this is far from the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Our university has been training leaders for our country for nearly 150 years, and recently entered the top 10 alma maters of State Duma deputies of the 8th convocation, so such meetings at our venue are highly symbolic," said Vladimir Stroyev.

"I see familiar faces in the audience; we've been in touch with many of them for over 10 years. And during this time, not only our district, but Moscow and all of Russia have changed dramatically. After the start of the special military operation, it was important to support the president's choice, the country's choice as a sovereign power, ready to fight for its freedom and independence. And I want to thank everyone who has been supporting those on the front lines and their families living in our district for several years now. We must remember these people and their heroism. This has been the main theme for me and my supporters over the past four years," emphasized Pyotr Tolstoy.

During the meeting, representatives from various districts and individual residents discussed the issues addressed with the deputy's direct involvement and shared their vision for the district's future development.

At the end of the meeting, Pyotr Tolstoy announced that he would run for the State Duma in the upcoming elections.
