  From horse trams to electric trams

  In 1872 horse trams — rail cars pulled by horses — appeared on Moscow streets. The first electric tram line opened in 1899. Until the metro opened in 1935, the tram remained the city’s main means of transport.

  Vityaz cars

  Since 2017 three-section low-floor trams of the Vityaz family have entered service. The step-free floor makes boarding easier with a pram, for older passengers and for wheelchair users.

• Single-section Lvyonok

  Single-section low-floor 71-911EM Lvyonok trams also run on the network — compact cars for lines with fewer passengers. The cover is an artistic illustration of such a car.

• No traffic jams

  Many lines run separately from road traffic, so trams are not held up in congestion. Where the track runs along a street it is separated by kerbs and given priority at traffic lights.
