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.

The capital's tram network will continue to develop. For example, new generation carriages will arrive, and line extensions and depot modernization are also planned. This was reported on their channel in MAX messenger Sergei Sobyanin reported.

“2025 can rightfully be called the year

Moscow tram"We opened a new line on Academician Sakharov Avenue, restored the line on Trifonovskaya Street, and renovated the P.L. Apakov tram depot," the Moscow Mayor noted.

The capital is currently undergoing a modernization of its tram depots, which will result in all seven sites meeting modern standards for servicing the latest generation of trams.

Plans by 2030 include the reconstruction of four such facilities, as well as the conversion of the former seventh trolleybus depot on Nagatinskaya Street into the new Nagatinskoye tram depot.

Updating the tram network

In April, the P.L. Apakov tram depot on Shabolovka Street opened after a major renovation. It is the oldest operating electric transport facility in the capital, dating back to 1909. Following the renovations, the depot is now modern and capable of servicing new-generation trams.

Last September, a new 2.1-kilometer line opened on Akademika Sakharova Prospekt, running from Komsomolskaya Square to Chistoprudny Boulevard, and route No. 90 was launched from Sokolniki metro station to Paveletsky Railway Station. In November, it became part of the first Moscow Tram Diameter (T1), running from Universitet metro station to Metrogorodok, which has carried over 4.5 million trips.

“Today, the capital has the longest urban tram diameter in the world,”

T1Its length is 27 kilometers. Passengers are transported by about 50 new trams. Lion Cub-Moscow "With autonomous propulsion. Peak passenger traffic on the T1 route reached 78,000 trips per day, 50 percent higher than projected," added Sergei Sobyanin.

In addition, passenger traffic increased along the first Moscow Tram Diameter corridor (routes T1, No. 13, and 39): the number of daily trips on the section from the Universitet metro station to Metrogorodok increased by 80 percent—from 65,000 (before the launch of T1) to 115,000 (after its launch).

In December 2025—30 years later—the tram line on Trifonovskaya Street, closed since 1995, was restored, and route No. 5 was launched from Belorussky Railway Station to Rizhskaya metro station.

Plans call for further expansion of the tram network by the end of 2027, including extensions to Entuziastov Highway in the Ivanovskoye district and Akademika Korolev Street to the television center and Ostankino station on the third Moscow Central Diameter (MCD). The new lines will expand the tram system's coverage and increase its popularity.

In 2026, the 33-kilometer-long T2 diameter will open—from the Chertanovskaya metro station to the Novogireevo station of the Moscow Central Diameter 4 (along routes 3 and 37). The new route is expected to carry approximately 60,000 daily passenger trips. As a result, Moscow will have two tram diameters with a total length of 60 kilometers.

By the end of 2026, the P.L. Apakova depot will receive another 50 modern, single-section, next-generation trams. This will complete the upgrade of the city's entire tram fleet. These modern trams will be equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable ride: a completely low floor, climate control, multimedia screens, and mobile device charging ports. These autonomous trams will be able to travel over four kilometers without overhead wires.

Driverless tram

Last September, Sergei Sobyanin launched the world's first fully driverless tram on route No. 10 (Shchukinskaya metro station – Kulakova Street), which makes regular passenger trips. The tram was based on a model Lion Cub-MoscowOver the past period, he has transported more than 60 thousand passengersand drove over 25 thousand kilometers around the city without a single traffic violation (including the test period).

The driverless vehicle operates in standard urban conditions alongside other trams. As required by law, a Moscow Metro tram operator is currently stationed in the cabin, providing visual monitoring of the tram's systems.

The introduction of cutting-edge technologies into the capital's tram network continues. Since December 2025, only four driverless trams have been in operation, some in laboratory mode, including the three-section "Vityaz-Moscow" tram, which has begun test runs in preparation for the eventual launch of passenger service.

By the end of 2026, 15 trains of the Krasnopresnenskaya tram network will be equipped with driverless technology.

According to the urban transport development strategy, approximately two-thirds of the capital's fleet is planned to be equipped with driverless technology by 2030, and approximately 90 percent of trams by 2035. This will improve the accuracy of schedule adherence and the speed of this mode of transport in Moscow.
