Sobyanin summed up the first year of the Moscow tram diameters

For the first year of operation, Moscow tram diameters (MTD) provided more than 43 million trips. This was announced by the mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin in his channel in the messenger “Max”.

Exactly a year ago, on November 12, we launched the first Moscow tram diameter (T1). In April 2026, he earned the second – T2. These diameters connected 20 districts of the capital with large residential, educational and business centers, the head of the city wrote.

T1 with a length of 27 kilometers connects the metro station "University" with Metrogorodok. The 33-kilometer T2 route runs from Chertanovskaya metro station to Novogireyevo station of the fourth Moscow Central Diameter (MCD-4). It is the longest city tram diameter in the world.

On the routes there are 41 transfers to the metro, the Moscow Central Ring and the IDC. Trams also pass through Leningrad, Yaroslavl, Kazan and Paveletsky railway stations.

Sobyanin noted that MTDs work on the principle of the ground metro. On the busiest section between metro stations "Krasnoselskaya" and "Tulskaya" interval of movement is three minutes.

On the lines run cars "Lvenok-Moscow" and modernized "Vityaz-Moscow", equipped with an autonomous driving system. They can travel more than four kilometers without a contact network. In total there are 120 such trams in the capital.

During peak hours, the number of trips reaches 219,000 per day, and passengers make an average of more than four million trips per month.

Another date, celebrated in 2026, is the 115th anniversary of Route A, which Muscovites call “Annushka”. The anniversary fell on October 29. Despite repeated changes to the track, it always passed along the Boulevard Ring. Now the route connects the metro station "Clean Ponds" with the station Kalitniki MDG-2.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin said that architectural and artistic lighting appeared in the lobby of 51 stations of the Moscow Metro. The project is designed to draw attention to the historical image of the capital and improve the aesthetics of the urban environment. First of all, the illumination was installed at the stations - architectural monuments: "Clean Ponds", "Mayakivskaya", "Kurskaya" and "Belarusian" of the Ring Line, "Komsomolskaya", "Kievskaya", "Smolenskaya" of the Arbat-Pokrovskaya line, "Borovitskaya", "Krasnoselskaya", "Lubyanka", "Dynamo", "Theatrical", "Elektrozavodskaya", "Novodskaya", "Kropotkinskaya", "Novodskaya", "Novodskaya", "Sokolniki", "Sokolniki", "Sokolniki", "Oktskaya" and "Prokhospektskaya" line.

Lighting was updated in the lobbies of stations built at the end of the last century, the Botanical Garden and Vladykina, as well as at the newer CSKA station of the Large Ring Metro Line.

In October, the mayor also spoke about the construction of the Trinity Line: monolithic work began at the Sosenki station. By that time, the passage of the left distillation tunnel between the Novomoskovskaya and Sosenki stations had been completed, and work continued on the right. The Tatiana shield passed almost two-thirds of the route.

The Sosenki station will be built near the village of the same name, at the intersection of the Kaluga highway and the Projected passage No. 7032. According to Sobyanin, it will improve transport accessibility for more than 85 thousand residents of the Troitsk and Novomoskovsk administrative districts (TiNAO), as well as citizens working there.

As part of the first stage of the Trinity line, 11 stations have already been opened. The second stage is planned to be completed in 2029: on the branch there will be “Piesenki”, “Rakitki”, “Desna”, “Cedar”, “Vatutinki” and “Troitsk”.
