Some ground transport also works at night:
Public transport in the Russian capital Moscow begins its service at 5:30 am. Some routes start operating at 6 am. On the official website of Mosgortrans you can see the diagram and operating mode of a specific route, and view the traffic schedule. Some routes continue to operate at night, and taxis operate around the clock if you are unable to travel by public transport.
There is no single starting point for the movement of buses, trolleybuses and trams. For example, bus route 29 (Kuzminsky Park - Metro Tekstilshchiki) starts moving from the Kuzminsky Park stop at 5:20 o'clock, and from the Metro Tekstilshchiki stop at 5:57 o'clock.
The transport schedule for a specific route can be found on the Mosgortrans website. Also, for the convenience of passengers, there is an interactive route diagram, information about the start and end of movement of a specific route and the intervals between movements of the selected transport route.
Not all routes are posted on the Mosgortrans website, so you can additionally use the service at this address
Depends on the chosen transport. For example, the first tram 3 goes along the route Balaklava Avenue. - Chistye Prudy metro station on weekdays at 05:33. And the first tram from the Chistye Prudy metro stop is at 05:32.
The first trolleybus 95 on the route Krasnopresnenskaya metro station - Savelovsky station at 05:30, the first trolleybus from Savelovsky station at 05:48.
The first bus 215 station Khovrino metro station Petrovsko-Razumovskaya leaves the depot at 05:36, and from the metro station Petrovsko-Razumovskaya at 06:04.
It is impossible to indicate exactly what time public transport leaves for its route; you need to look at the schedule for a specific transport number and their route. The schedule can be found here.
At 5.30 am public transport starts operating. But this is average. In general, I should start at five zero zero in the morning, but... It doesn’t always work out. This applies to buses, trolleybuses and trams. The metro starts running at 6.00 am. Minibuses from 7.00.
The fact is that not all public transport routes in Moscow start operating at the same time. In addition, the time may vary depending on what day of the week it is - weekdays or weekends.
On the website tr-mosckow.ru you can see not only the opening time, but also the full schedule of buses, trams and trolleybuses. It's a little difficult to figure out, so I'll give step-by-step instructions.
And before us is a minute-by-minute schedule this route, from the first flight to the last.
At 5:30 a.m. ground transportation starts running, the metro starts at about 6 a.m., although in the morning I found myself at that time ten years ago, but at night last year, having arrived late at the airport, I got into the metro at one in the morning and at one thirty came out.
Public transport starts differently in different areas of Moscow, but in general, somewhere between 5 and 6 am. In extreme cases, on certain routes that are not very busy and run at large intervals, the start of work can be at 6-7 hours. You can find out in more detail what time traffic starts on a specific route on the Mosgortrans website.
Choose the type of transport, route, day of the week, direction, stop you need and you will receive exact time when trams, buses and trolleybuses in Moscow begin to move.
Various transport companies begin their work in different times, but in the overwhelming case from 5 o’clock to 6 o’clock, only some later, the least crowded routes with a large headway. You can find out the time of movement of the first vehicles here.
Trams and trolleybuses in Moscow start running at 6 am. Most buses and minibuses start operating at 6:30. And only some routes (mostly those starting their route from the outskirts of the city) start operating from 5 am. It takes them longer to get to the center, where most passengers work, so you can leave early on these buses.

On the cancellation of the last minibuses in Moscow from August 15. In theory, it was assumed that only routes going beyond the boundaries of “old Moscow” could remain, and that routes that do not have a single stop outside these borders would not operate from mid-August.
Our correspondents studied the situation on the streets of different districts of Moscow. Stops near several busy metro stations were selected for testing (Sokol, Oktyabrskoye Pole, Komsomolskaya, Krasnoselskaya, Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad, Universitet, Prospekt Vernadskogo, Yugo-Zapadnaya, Tsaritsyno " and "Technopark"). The research was done on the first Saturday after the ban on minibuses, August 20, 2016.
"Falcon"
At the Sokol metro station, minibuses stopped working (both from Leningradsky Prospekt and from Peschanaya Street). Only intersubject route detected № 524 .
"October Field"
On the "October Field" minibus taxis was also not found, and instead a bus route began operating No. 691k(it is served by Transavtoliz LLC, which is part of the Autoline group of companies) - with blue buses, validators, and the validity of all city tickets and benefits.
"Komsomolskaya"
Minibus detected No. 269m(metro station "Komsomolskaya" - Chelyabinskaya street). The route does not go beyond the Moscow Ring Road anywhere; according to the Moscow City Hall, it should not exist.
"Krasnoselskaya"
A white minibus with an inscription is driving along Verkhnyaya Krasnoselskaya Street No. 387m(circular: metro station "Baumanskaya" - metro station "Baumanskaya"). The color is important, since on the same route there are cars operating according to the new model of transport service (their number is approximately the same - № 387 , but without the “m”). Despite the very similar sizes, the difference is significant - the authorities demanded that private carriers release standard cars on new routes, and the color can only be blue (and such cars must have a ticket validator, air conditioning, etc.). Therefore, we have before us an “old type minibus” - with payment in cash and the absence of standard benefits.
"Preobrazhenskaya Square"
In addition to the already mentioned “minibus” No. 269m, here we were able to meet only minibuses with a red license plate № 716 (metro station “Preobrazhenskaya Square” - Vostochny village). Why is color important? According to the current agreement, stencils of cars operating at unregulated tariffs are painted in red in the Moscow region. Part of the route № 716 falls in the Moscow region - therefore, in this case there is no violation (the carrier received approval for the inter-subject route).
"University"
Near the metro you can see a large number of minibuses with signs No. 699m(metro station "University" - quarter "Shuvalovsky"). Here, perhaps, the rolling stock is the most diverse - Fords, Mercedes, and Hyundais. Cars are parked both at the southern vestibule of the metro and on Lomonosovsky Prospekt near the Moscow State University fence. According to the Department of Transport, this route should no longer operate.
"Vernadsky Avenue"
Near the Prospekt Vernadskogo metro station you can still see two routes from the past. On Vernadsky Avenue there is a Peugeot with a stencil No. 616m(metro station "Prospekt Vernadskogo" - metro station "New Cheryomushki"), and cars with inscriptions rush along Udaltsova Street in both directions No. 300m(Novatorov St. - Ramenki). Both routes were scheduled to stop operating after August 14th. Let's go check further.
"South-Western"
This station, even after the extension of the Sokolnicheskaya line, remains a very large center of attraction - the intersection of two busy highways, transport to the Solntsevo and Novo-Peredelkino areas, suburban routes. There are still routes here No. 45m, 1129 And 1166 , and their status is at least controversial - the route No. 45m was excluded from the Moscow city register (should have stopped working no later than August 15), and two other numbers can be found in the register of routes connecting Moscow and the Moscow region, but the routes indicated there are different (accordingly, metro station "Troparevo" - st. . Aprelevka and metro station "Yugo-Zapadnaya" - Aprelevka). Apparently, all three routes operate in violation of documents issued by the Moscow government. With a minibus with a stencil No. 205m(metro station "Yugo-Zapadnaya" - 9th microdistrict Teply Stan) the situation is clearer - he should not appear here after August 14 - however, he cheerfully carries passengers along 26 Baku Commissars Street.
"Tsaritsyno"
There are minibuses here No. 620m(metro station "Tsaritsyno" - Zagoryevskaya st. 10). The Moscow City Hall considers them canceled as of August 15. In addition, an approximately eight-seater car with the inscription “New Tsaritsyno Microdistrict” opened the door invitingly. Its status is generally unclear, and no route numbers are visible on the boards. But we can assume that it also carries passengers along a fixed route with stops on demand in arbitrary places - without, obviously, being registered in the register of routes of the city of Moscow. In addition, cars with a red stencil are visible № 1130 (metro station "Tsaritsyno" - state farm named after Lenin). Judging by these inscriptions, they travel beyond the administrative border of Moscow, and their cancellation was not planned. On the other hand, there is information that these cars only go as far as Yagodnaya Street, that is, the route does not cross the borders of “old Moscow” - and this is already a violation.
Finally, the Technopark station is a minibus No. 764m(metro station "Kozhukhovskaya" - Nagatinsky Zaton), again a discrepancy with the documents of the Moscow government.
In addition, it was discovered that some minibuses that transport passengers to shopping centers. For example, at the Troika shopping and entertainment center on Verkhnaya Krasnoselskaya Street you can see minibuses going to four metro stations - Sokolniki, Komsomolskaya, Rizhskaya, Baumanskaya (specially equipped stops and signs for these stations have also not disappeared routes). If they were free and stopped only at the end ones, then there would be no violation. But in their current form, according to the order of the Department of Transport of the Moscow City Hall, they should not exist.
Resume
At each of the ten carefully studied points of attraction, some “minibuses” were found that violated the requirements of the authorities. There are a minority of routes that continued operating after August 14. If we take into account the state of the register of routes at the beginning of this summer, then we can very roughly estimate the share of the remaining “illegals” at 10-15% (the check took place on a weekend; perhaps a number of more routes operate on weekdays).
Is there any logic to the set of surviving routes? It can be noted that where traffic has not stopped, there is rather a high demand, and historically Mosgortrans either did not launch its buses (trolleybuses, trams) there, or (despite the potentially large passenger flow) launched them with a very low frequency. However, new routes were organized this summer both to the Shuvalovsky quarter and along the ring in the Baumanskaya metro area.
Is it true that all remaining routes belong to carriers challenging the Department of Transportation's order in court? No, in some cases the transportation is carried out by a company that, at the time of the study, had not filed a claim with the arbitration court. In the places we checked, it was almost impossible to find “minibuses” of those eight companies that operate according to the new model of transport service. But even here there is no strict correlation - one company still has both old “minibuses” and new “blue” transport.
What practical conclusions follow from these observations? The most important thing: minibus companies have quite clearly shown where the unmet demand for transport services remains. And if the Moscow authorities are confident in their decision to abandon “minibuses” throughout the entire territory of “old Moscow,” then it is necessary to greatly improve the functioning of transport in those places where the “minibuses” of the previous model still operate.
For several years, a meme picture has been circulating on the Internet - the emotional, obscene impressions of a provincial from Moscow. Among them is the phrase: “Bus 483, what a number!” The logic behind the numbering of urban transport is indeed not always obvious. The Village found out on what basis numbers are assigned to buses, trolleybuses and trams.
Press service of State Unitary Enterprise "Mosgortrans"
All city routes passenger transport capital cities have single-digit, two-digit and three-digit numbers. This numbering has developed historically and does not change. On new routes, vehicles are assigned new numbers or numbers of previously canceled routes. All numbering is individual, but there are also coincidences: routes can be designated the same way different types transport. So, tram No. 3, trolleybus No. 3 and bus No. 3 travel around the city, but they all follow different routes.
There is no need to assign four-digit numbers to new routes yet. There are, however, bus routes No. 1001, 1002 and 1004, which previously belonged to commercial carriers. In 2013, they were transferred to the management of Mosgortrans; for the convenience of passengers, the numbers were not changed.
Sometimes the specifics of a particular route are taken into account when numbering. For example, in Moscow there are several “social” directions of movement; they cover institutions of education, medicine, and social protection. The numbers of such routes begin with the letter C: C1, C2 and so on. There are also night routes of ground urban transport, these are buses No. H1, H2, H3. Letters are also used for shortened flights: they duplicate the busiest sections of the route. To make it easier for passengers to navigate, when entering such a route, the letter “k” (short) is added to the main number. There is, for example, bus route No. 709, which runs from the Orekhovo metro station to the Kashirskaya metro station, and there is No. 709k, which goes from the Orekhovo metro station to the Moskvorechye platform.
Konstantin Trofimenko
Director of the Center for Research on Transport Problems of Megacities at the Higher School of Economics
There is no special transport numbering system in Moscow - it’s a wild mixture between route numbers hundred years ago, Stalinist, Brezhnevist and numbers of the 1990s. They all layered on top of each other.
There are also routes that are designated using letters. This may be a consequence of the fact that the transport route was once divided into two parts. It also happens that the route branches: the vehicle follows the route, and then its version, with the letter A added to its numbering, turns right. The option without such a letter continues to follow straight. All this, of course, causes confusion. City navigation is absolutely not user-friendly. If a person does not specialize in this topic, he is unlikely to know about any routes other than those that he needs.
In Soviet times, work was regularly carried out to optimize the urban transport system. They stopped doing this in the 90s, but now attempts are being resumed. Last year, not only the problem of transport numbering was raised, but also the question of the need for certain routes. It happens that they lose relevance: for example, there was a bus that took people to the factory. The enterprise was closed and people stopped going there, but the route continues to function. Does the city need it? But, unfortunately, so far this work has not led to a positive result.
