Those who wished could enter the salons, examine the cash box and composters. There were also competitions, a concert and a tasting of dishes from the field kitchen.
A ceremonial tram parade took place in Moscow. A column of 11 retro trams traveled along a new route – from Shabolovka to Danilovskaya Manufactory and back.
The event guests were also able to visit the renovated tram depot named after P. L. Apakova, which opened its doors to everyone for the first time after a large-scale reconstruction. An exhibition of historical carriages was held on the depot territory.
“Moscow Transport is happy to support the tradition of holding tram parades in the capital. Last year, we organized three such celebrations, which were attended by more than 500 thousand people. The tram parade on Shabolovka once again proved that residents love and appreciate this wonderful form of transport, which can safely be called a symbol of our city. We will continue to develop the capital’s tram on the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin,” said Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.
In total, more than 20 trams of different generations took part in the exhibition. You could enter any car and try out the softness of the seats, hold onto the handrails, examine the cash box and composters – they were used to pay for travel in the past.
Musical and dance groups performed at the event. The special guest of the program was the musical group “Moralny Kodeks”. Visitors were able to take part in competitions and win memorable prizes, as well as try dishes prepared in the field kitchen.
The parade and tram exhibition on Shabolovka was seen by more than 220 thousand residents and visitors of the city. This is a record figure for the last five years.
