8 years of night routes in Moscow!

There are more than 750 bus routes operating in Russian capital and its suburbs. 16 night express routes are especially attractive for citizens at a late time. Night surface transport has grown twotimes. Lanes pass through 70 districts of the city; it is used daily by more than 3.5 thousand passengers.

"Night routes are the most popular night transport for residents of a large metropolis. In Moscow such buses appeared in 2013 and immediately became useful for many people who are released late at night. For almost 8 years of operation, night buses have transported more than 8,2 million passengers and this figure is growing up every year. In addition, the increase in the number of night routes gives an important boost to the city's economy and allows for faster development of a high-quality urban environment, " Maksim Liksutov — Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport.

Indeed, the city began to develop the system of night routes of surface public transport since 2013. Night routes operate mainly from 1: 00 to 5: 30 a.m., when daytime routes do not work, as well as the metro; some routes start working earlier, providing traffic in the metropolis.

The route map of night ground transport is as close as possible to the map of the Moscow metro — thanks to this scheme, the passenger will be able to get to any point of the city. The interval of movement on all night routes is 30 minutes, on the ring route B-15 minutes. Routes and crossing points have changed many times, and now a fairly perfect system has been created with a clear schedule and a center on Kitai-Gorod.

For tourists who need to get home after an excursion through half the city or to the opposite part of Moscow, this has become a good help: you do not need to spend money on a taxi or wait for the metro to open if you suddenly missed the metro due to traffic jams. Moscow night routes are fast, with easy transfers, the cost of a ticket at the price of day trips. Passenger can pay for a trip with the popular Troika card or contactless bank cards.
