Moscow can boast a variety of the means public transportation. Alongside with the Metro system, there are buses, trams, trolleybuses.
What still however seeks to be aspired is the quality. Do not look for timetables or lines’ maps: public transportation in Moscow is sheer chaos. They neither follow any schedule nor have any strictly regulated itinerary. In many cases buses are privately owned (so called Marshrutka) and follow the rule of demand: whenever or wherever there is an increasing need for transport, the new bus lines will emerge.
As a tourist you most likely would like to avoid the matter of public transportation, as it is neither a pleasant experience nor that easily comprehensible. Just in case you still venture to try get around on your own, you should know that tickets are purchased by a driver and there are no stop announcements, so watch out where you are going.

Tramdriver in moscow and tramdriver in Gothenburg we have much common for a typical example this:
We Gothenburg/Moscow tramdrivers we must drive very careful in autumn leavesslippery on a very slippery rail.
We must have much sanding on the rail.
Also we have railbrake.
If a Moscow tramdrivercolleague read this say yes yes.
A more typical example is begin rain.

Hello Anni Pelmeni!I have a very great idea.
We in Moscow/Gothenburg have one thing community and what is that ? ? ?.
That is TRAMS just TRAMS.So to my very great idea.
When we have summer here in Sweden Gothenburg so send over a TATRA TRAM included MOSCOW TRAMDRIVERS.For example with advertising for Moscow travels.
We are usual people and we need fun ideas.
So Anni Pelmeni can we work for this idea and emasculate my idea ? TATRA with destination GOTHENBURG.

Hi Tramdriver Joergen! I’m very proud that my small articles about Moscow and life in Moscow have such reaction and enthusiasm! Frankly speaking I myself dream sometime about I work as a tramdriver. This profession is very romantic because you can observe the life of your city in online regime. I’ll take a picture of tramway controller’s office that is located near by my house.
