Moscow Updates Ground Transport Routes, Adds 10 New Stops

The Moscow Department of Transport reported changes to bus and electric bus services in several districts of the capital. They will take effect on 7 February. Three routes will operate on an updated scheme, and 10 new stops will be added on 20 routes.

Transport on the adjusted routes will run more frequently. In addition, buses and electric buses will stop closer to key points.

«This will allow residents of large residential complexes and visitors to social institutions to quickly and conveniently reach the nearest rail stations. On the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, we are improving the ground transport route network to make passenger trips even more comfortable,» said Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

According to the transport department, two social routes — s511 and s811 — will become district routes 511 and 811. Electric buses will run more frequently, and the starting point of route 511 will be near the residential complex on Bochkova Street, while route 811 will be extended to the Nagatinskaya metro station.

Route 934 will be redirected from Lomonosovsky and Leninsky Prospekts to Universitetsky Prospekt. Residents will get a frequent connection to the Sokolnicheskaya metro line.

«Volovya Street» will work for route 74 in both directions;

«Alleya Zhemchugovoi» will work for routes 208 and 408 in both directions;

«Bolshaya Filyovskaya Street» on Novozavodskaya Street for routes 366 and s369 will work in both directions.
