Since the beginning of the year, passengers have made more than one million trips on electric vessels of regular river routes. The first route, Kievskiy – Fili Park, was used about 650 thousand times, and the second, ZIL – Pechatniki, over 350 thousand. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.
“The popularity of regular river transport is growing every day. You can use our unique Russian-made electric vessels at any time of the year. We are opening new berths and improving the infrastructure to make trips even more comfortable. On behalf of Sergei Sobyanin, we continue to develop the most innovative type of urban transport,” said Maxim Liksutov.
Regular river electric transport is being developed continuously. Up to five more routes are planned to be organized by 2030. In 2025 alone, the fleet will be replenished with 10 vessels, and five new berths will appear. In addition, another line of electric vessels is being developed. It is expected to improve transport accessibility for almost 60 thousand residents of four districts of the capital.
More than a month ago opened new berths. Passengers have already used them over 17 thousand times. In total, since the beginning of the movement, the ships have made more than 53 thousand trips and traveled 470 thousand kilometers.
Electric vessels are fully integrated into the unified Moscow transport system. From October 1 to April 30, winter tariffs apply: the cost of one trip with a Troika card and biometrics is 100 rubles on weekdays and 130 rubles on weekends and holidays. With a bank card and SBP, you need to pay 120 and 150 rubles, respectively. Free travel is provided for children under seven years old accompanied by one adult and holders of Unified tickets for 30, 90 and 365 days.
June 20, 2023 Vladimir Putin and Sergei Sobyanin opened the world’s first year-round regular river route for electric transport: the ships departed from the Kyiv pier to the Heart of the Capital stop. The most popular departure point remains the Kyiv pier – more than 20 percent of all trips start there.
