Electric buses will run from the “Tyoply Stan” metro station to the Kokoshkino station of the fourth Moscow Central Diameter.
Moscow has introduced its 220th electric bus route, setting a new record for the number of routes operated by the city’s most advanced ground transport.
The buses will operate on route № 878, connecting TiNAO and the South-Western Administrative District, from the “Tyoply Stan” metro station to Kokoshkino station.
“The number of eco-friendly routes is constantly growing: since the beginning of the year, 42 new electric bus routes have been launched. In total, over 2,400 vehicles equipped with the latest passenger comfort and safety features are now in operation in the capital,” noted the Mayor of Moscow.
Electric-powered transport offers numerous advantages. Primarily, it helps reduce environmental impact. Replacing one diesel bus with an electric bus cuts CO2 emissions by over 60 tons per year.
These innovative vehicles enhance urban travel with smoother rides, optimal cabin temperature, wide doors, charging ports for devices, and dedicated spaces for strollers and bicycles.
Electric bus models are continuously being improved. In June, the first 12 of the latest generation entered service on Moscow’s streets.
Plans are in place for electric buses to make up over 80% of the Mosgortrans fleet by 2030.
Tyoply Stan metro station
Tyoply Stan metro station is a station on the Moscow Metro’s Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line (Orange Line), opened in 1987. Located in the Tyoply Stan district of southwestern Moscow, the station serves as a key transport hub for the residential area. Its name, meaning “Warm Slope,” reflects the historical geography of the region, which was once known for its relatively mild microclimate.
Kokoshkino station
Kokoshkino is a small railway station located in the Moscow Oblast, Russia, serving the Kursk direction of the Moscow Railway. Opened in 1895, it was originally part of the Moscow-Kursk railway line and primarily served as a stop for suburban trains. Today, it remains a minor station with limited passenger traffic, reflecting its historical role as a local transit point rather than a major hub.
Moscow Central Diameter
The **Moscow Central Diameter (MCD)** is a system of urban and suburban railway lines in Moscow, launched in 2019, designed to integrate commuter rail with the city’s metro and transport network. Modeled after systems like Berlin’s S-Bahn, the MCD consists of multiple lines (D1-D4, with more planned) that connect outer districts with the city center, reducing congestion. It repurposes existing rail infrastructure, blending historical Soviet-era railways with modern upgrades for efficient transit.
TiNAO
TiNAO (Tai National And Oceanic) is a cultural and natural site in Côte d’Ivoire, encompassing the Taï National Park, a UNESCO-listed rainforest known for its biodiversity, and nearby coastal areas. The region is historically significant as a refuge for endangered species and indigenous communities, with conservation efforts dating back to the 1920s. It represents both ecological preservation and cultural heritage tied to local traditions.
South-Western Administrative District
The **South-Western Administrative District** (Юго-Западный административный округ) is one of Moscow’s 12 administrative districts, established in 1991. Known for its mix of Soviet-era architecture, modern developments, and green spaces, it includes notable areas like Vernadsky Prospekt and Lomonosovsky District. Historically, it was part of Moscow’s expansion in the mid-20th century and is now a key residential, educational, and scientific hub, home to Moscow State University and several research institutes.
Mosgortrans
Mosgortrans is Moscow’s primary public transportation operator, managing buses, trams, trolleybuses, and metro shuttles in the Russian capital. Established during the Soviet era, it has played a vital role in the city’s transit system since the early 20th century, evolving to meet the growing demands of one of Europe’s largest urban populations. Today, it remains a key part of Moscow’s infrastructure, integrating modern technologies while preserving elements of its historic network.
