Which transport will go. How to give numbers to public transport routes? Where does night ground transport go?

For several years, a meme picture has been surfing the Internet - the emotional obscene impressions of the provincial from Moscow. Among them there is a phrase: "Bus 483rd, never mind a figure!" The logic of numbering urban transport, indeed, is not always obvious. The Village found out how numbers are assigned to buses, trolleybuses and trams.

Press Service of the State Unitary Enterprise "Mosgortrans"

All routes of urban passenger transport in the capital have single, double and triple numbers. This numbering has developed historically and does not change. In new directions, vehicles are assigned new numbers or numbers of previously canceled routes. All numbering is individual, but there are also coincidences: routes of different types of transport can be marked equally. So, tram number 3, trolley bus number 3 and bus number 3 go around the city, but they all follow different routes.

There is no need to assign four-digit numbers to new routes. True, there are bus routes No. 1001, 1002 and 1004, which previously belonged to commercial carriers. In 2013, they were transferred under the control of Mosgortrans, for the convenience of passengers, they did not change their numbers.

Sometimes, when numbering, the specifics of a particular route are taken into account. For example, in Moscow there are several “social” directions of the movement; they cover educational, medical, and social protection institutions. The numbers of such routes begin with the letter C: C1, C2 and so on. There are also night routes of ground urban transport, these are buses No. Н1, Н2, Н3. The letters are also used for shortened flights: they duplicate the busiest sections of the route. To make it easier for passengers to navigate, when entering such a route, the letter “k” (short) is added to the main number. There is, for example, bus route No. 709, next from the Orekhovo metro station to the Kashirskaya metro station, and there is No. 709k, which runs from the Orekhovo metro station to the Moskvorechye platform.

Konstantin Trofimenko

Director, HSE Metropolitan Transportation Research Center

There is no special numbering system for transport in Moscow - it is a wild mix between the numbers of the routes of a hundred years ago, the Stalin, Brezhnev numbers and the numbers of the 1990s. They all layered on top of each other.

There are also routes in the designation of which letters are used. This may be due to the fact that once the transport path was divided into two parts. It also happens that the route forks: the transport follows the route, and then its version, to the numbering of which the letter A is added, turns to the right. A variant without such a letter continues to follow directly. All this, of course, causes confusion. City navigation is absolutely not convenient for the user. If a person does not specialize in this topic, he is unlikely to know about any routes other than those that he needs.

In Soviet times, regular work was carried out to optimize the urban transport system. In the 90s, they stopped doing this, and now attempts are resuming. Last year, not only the issue of transport numbering was raised, but also the need for certain routes. It happens that they lose relevance: for example, there was a bus that drove people to the factory. The enterprise was closed, and people stopped traveling there, the route continues to function. Does the city need it? But, unfortunately, so far these works have not led to a positive result.

Moscow is, of course, a huge city. A lot of people live here - order 12 380 664 (as of 2017) people. And this figure is growing every year.
