Scandalous Tepliy Stan minibuses known for misspellings to be canceled
Minibuses from the Tepliy Stan metro station have previously been at the center of public ridicule.
Most of the minibuses running from Tepliy Stan in southwest Moscow will soon cease operation. The capital«s Department of Transport confirmed plans to cancel them in response to a request from MSK1.RU.
A leaked document points to a potential cancellation date for the routes in mid-2026.
This concerns commercial routes No. 398, 592, 522, 577, 882, 887, 895 (to New Moscow) and some others. The Moscow Department of Transport emphasized that they duplicate city bus and electric bus routes.
“In addition, these routes do not use the unified ticket menu of Moscow Transport, operate outdated and unsafe rolling stock (so-called «minibuses»), and there is no control over route dispatch by Moscow Transport,” the press service of the Moscow Department of Transport told MSK1.RU.
The Department of Transport did not specify the cancellation dates in its response to MSK1.RU. Earlier, an allegedly real document appeared on social media, in which the first deputy head of the Department of Transport informed the carrier «Avtoline» about the cancellation of these routes in New Moscow from July 14, 2026.
A year ago, one of the minibuses from Tepliy Stan (it is not yet on the list) was involved in a scandal: on its sign, almost all the names, even the Moscow Ring Road, were misspelled. For example, Muscovites saw the inscriptions «Soseniskistan», «House of Cultur», «Bunski Meadows» — look at all the gems.
