Where does the tram go? Night public transport routes
I discovered that even if you have an unlimited metro pass and ground transport, the metro is not always the fastest and most successful way to get around Moscow. It is more convenient to combine all transports. Let's see how the tram compares favorably with its transport counterparts.
Study period: it extended from 05/10/2017 to 07/11/2017 (I didn’t study the route to Krylatskoye, then I’ll take a ride, not on purpose)
Tram 3 (longest route at night 18.7 km) - Metro " Chistye Prudy» — Balaklava Avenue (at night - Academician Yangel Street)
Pros of the tram
- Sometimes convenient routes. Tram tracks can sometimes connect the points you need with a shorter route
- Stability of movement. Trams do not get stuck in traffic jams; they have separate tracks. Sometimes they stand at traffic lights, but in general they are more in motion
- Aesthetics. The metro runs underground, where it is not as interesting outside the window as outside the tram window, especially in clear weather
- Comfort. A tram rides smoother than a trolleybus or bus. Generally.
- Railroading. For railway lovers: the tram is more railway than the metro
- Environmental friendliness. The tram is healthier: it runs on electricity, so it doesn’t stink of gasoline or exhaust fumes
Scheme tram routes
The most interesting routes for me:
They turned out to be B, 3, 7, 24, 46, 50, 11-half from Ostankino, 6 from Sokol to the Moscow Canal, 27, 17, and, judging by the water capacity around, you will like 31, 28 in Krylatskoye (but this is not checked I will, I’ll leave it to those who wish).
Moscow tram routes:
Tram A – Metro “Chistye Prudy” – Kaluzhskaya Square
The center of Moscow, interesting. But he got caught during road repairs. There were times when I had to stand in a traffic jam with cars.
Tram B - Sokolnicheskaya Zastava - Kursky Station
Interesting. To Kursky railway station.
Tram 1 - Moskvoretsky Market - Academician Yangel Street
Tram 2 – Metro “Semenovskaya” – Children’s sanatorium
Subjectively, I didn’t really like the route. And chats in the lineup. I understood why the corners of trams are cut off, so that the cabin and stern are narrow - on turns, oncoming trams would collide at the corners if the trains were rectangular. The final stop “Children's Sanatorium” is a great place to start a bike ride around Losiny Island.
Tram 3 (longest route at night 18.7 km)— Metro “Chistye Prudy” — Balaklavsky Prospekt (at night - Academician Yangel Street)
24/7, runs at night. Today it is the longest tram route in Moscow at night: the travel distance is 18.7 km, the total time (taking into account the night interval) is 1 hour 22 minutes.
Tram 4l — Metro “Ulitsa Podbelskogo” — Sokolnicheskaya Zastava — ring
Tram 4pr - Metro "Ulitsa Podbelskogo" - Sokolnicheskaya Zastava - ring
Tra Mwai 6 - metro station "Sokol" - Bratsevo ( Tram 6k - Eastern Bridge - Bratsevo)
Modern new compositions with accordion. From Sokol to the Moscow Canal is interesting. The journey to Tushino is already monotonous and takes a long time.
Tram 7 – Metro station “Rokossovskogo Boulevard” (until 2014 “Ulitsa Podbelskogo”) – Metro “Novoslobodskaya”
It goes smoothly, especially the first half of the way from the Rokossovsky Boulevard metro station.
Tram 8 – Novokonnaya Square – 3rd Vladimirskaya Street
Tram 9 — Metro “Belorusskaya” — MIIT
Tram 10 – Metro “Schukinskaya” – Tallinskaya street
Tram 11 - Ostankino - 16th Parkovaya Street
The first half is interesting, where there are small streets and Izmailovsky Park. Along the straight, long Pervomaiskaya Street it’s no longer particularly interesting.
Tram 12 – Entuziastov Passage – 2nd Mashinostroeniya Street
From Enthusiastov Highway to Dubrovka.
Tram 13 - Kalanchevskaya street - Children's sanatorium
It’s also not particularly interesting, it goes along a straight big street to 3 railway stations.
Tram 14 – Kaluzhskaya Square – Metro “University”
Tram 15 - Metro Sokol - Tallinnaya Street
Tram 16 – Serpukhovsky Val Street – Academician Yangel Street

Tram 20 - Kursky Station - Ugreshskaya Street
Tram 21 — Metro “Schukinskaya” — Tallinskaya street

From Kursky Station I drove back to Lefortovo Park.
Tram 25 – Ostankino – Sokolnicheskaya Zastava
Tram 26 - Kaluzhskaya Square - Metro "University"
The residential areas are not very interesting. The tram I came across is not very new, although it has electricity, it smells of technical substances, which makes you feel sick and nauseous.
Tram 27 — Metro “Voikovskaya” — Metro “Dmitrovskaya”
Nice route. There is greenery, the streets are small, it does not go along the main road.
Tram 28 – Metro “Sokol” – Marshala Zhukov Avenue
Tram 29 – Children’s sanatorium – Bogorodskoye
Tram 30 – Mikhalkovo – Tallinskaya street
Tram 31 – Metro “Voikovskaya” – Marshal Zhukov Avenue

Tram 47 – Kaluzhskaya Square – Nagatino
Tram 47k – Nizhniye Kotly – Nagatino
Tram 49 - Balaklava Avenue - Nagatino
Tram 50 - Kalanchevskaya street - Entuziastov Passage
This is more interesting. In general, routes along small streets are more interesting and beautiful. Look for these.
Results: To summarize, I would like to say that riding trams is a pleasant experience from time to time. They generally run smoother, especially in the north, where there are new trains. At first I assumed that it would be faster to travel by trams. It turned out that this is not so. In most cases, the meter will come out faster. Also, the ground public is more cheerful and positive than the crowds in the subway.
Tram - one of the types public transport in cities. Refers to rail transport running on electric traction. The name "tram" comes from the English combination of the words "car" (trolley) and "path". Trams move along certain routes and only along those streets where special tram rails are laid. Air voltage is used as a power source contact network.
What is a tram?
The tram is one of the first types of urban transport. It appeared in the first half of the 19th century. The first carriages were horse-drawn. Electric traction began to be used only at the end of the century before last. The first city where the tram became widespread was Berlin. In the first half of the 20th century, tram transport was actively developed, but after World War II it became less popular. In the 70-80s of the 20th century, a certain renaissance occurred, which was associated with technical improvements and the fight against air pollution. Recently, the popularity of trams in the world has sharply decreased.
Trams can be electric, horse-drawn, diesel, gasoline, steam, etc., but the first option is the main one. The remaining types are not currently used.
Tram station
This is special organized place, which is intended for boarding and disembarking people from public transport, in this case a tram. In addition to a sign indicating the tram stop, it is equipped with a canopy and benches. It may also contain a map of tram routes, schedules and numbers of cars stopping on it.
IN major cities A common attribute is outdoor advertising, and there may also be a ticket sales point. Stopping cars in such places is prohibited.
Stop sign
The sign is installed to increase awareness among drivers and passengers. There are certain numbers on the tram stop road sign - 5.17. In relation to such stops, slightly different rules apply. road rules. This applies to traffic rules for passing tram stops. The fact is that the tram can stop right in the middle of the street, which is used for car traffic. In this case, a yellow zigzag line is drawn on the road near the tracks. It stipulates that the driver, if a tram with passengers stops, must wait until they get off and cross the road, and only then the car can move on.
However, it may move slowly if people are not walking, but it will be safer to wait until the passenger drop-off/pick-up process is complete.
The remaining rules are the same as for other public transport stops.
Tram in Moscow
The tram appeared in Moscow in 1899. In 2018, there are 48 routes and 5 depots operating in the city. There are 2 tram networks in total: the main one and the northwestern one. There is no rail connection between them. The total length of tram tracks in Moscow is 418 kilometers. The length was slightly less in 1926 (395 km).
The tram network reached its greatest development in the early 1930s, when the routes of this type of transport covered almost the entire city. Including its outskirts. In 1934, the tram was considered the most important means of transport in Moscow. Of the four million urban population, 2.6 million used the tram to get around. The total length of the lines was approximately 560 km.
Since 1935, urban transport has been diversified. At first, the reduction of tram lines was associated with the development of the metro, and then the trolleybus. Some lines were moved to secondary streets. In particular, the paths that passed near the Kremlin and part of the paths going to the city outskirts were removed. In the 50s, the dismantling of tram tracks on some routes was associated with the construction of highways. In the late 60s and early 70s, the closure of lines led to the separation of its north-western part from the main tram network.
The removal of routes continued into the 80s, but it was combined with the construction of new sections.
Market period
Since the mid-90s of the 20th century, due to the expansion of the road network and an increase in the number of road transport, there has been an active reduction in the number of tram routes in Moscow. The total length of the tracks decreased from 460 to 420 km. In the late 90s, as the main vehicle Only 150 thousand people used the tram. In the mid-2000s, its total share in urban passenger traffic was about 5 percent. Nevertheless, in some areas it was the main mode of transport.
During the reign of Sergei Sobyanin, from 2012, the tram network began to expand. Some routes were opened, extended or restored. In 2017-2018 More new lines are being introduced. The tram fleet is being significantly updated.
Features of the Moscow tram network
The tram network of the city of Moscow consists of parts that are loosely connected to each other, one of which is completely separated from the rest. There are 4 such units in total: Apakovskaya, Yauzskaya, Krasnopresnenskaya and Artamonovskaya.
The oldest stop in Moscow
During the existence of the Moscow tram, stops have changed many times and changed their appearance. One of the few exceptions is the Krasnostudenchesky Proezd station. There is a reconstructed 19th-century pavilion here, dating back to when there was a real village in the area.
Now there are high-rise buildings around, and in the pavilion itself there are kiosks. It is likely that it will soon be replaced (or has already been replaced) with a regular stop, which will lead to the loss of this object.
Moscow is, of course, a huge city. There are a lot of people living here - about 12,380,664 (as of 2017) people. And this figure is growing every year. The capital of the Russian Federation is attractive, of course, for a huge number of people both in our country and abroad.
