For several years, a picture-meme has been circulating on the Internet - emotional obscene impressions of a provincial from Moscow. Among them there is also the phrase: “Bus 483, don’t give a damn!” The logic of urban transport numbering is, indeed, not always obvious. The Village found out by what principle numbers are assigned to buses, trolleybuses and trams.

Press Service of State Unitary Enterprise "Mosgortrans"

All routes of urban passenger transport of the capital have one-digit, two-digit and three-digit numbers. This numbering has developed historically and does not change. On new directions, transport is assigned new numbers or numbers of previously canceled routes. All numbering is individual, but there are also coincidences: the routes of different modes of transport can be marked in the same way. So, tram number 3, trolleybus number 3 and bus number 3 travel around the city, but they all follow different routes.

There is no need to assign four-digit numbers to new routes yet. There are, however, bus routes No. 1001, 1002 and 1004, which previously belonged to commercial carriers. In 2013, they were transferred under the management of Mosgortrans, for the convenience of passengers, the numbers were not changed.

Sometimes the numbering takes into account the specifics of a particular route. For example, in Moscow there are several "social" areas of movement, they cover educational institutions, medicine, social protection. The numbers of such routes begin with the letter C: C1, C2, and so on. There are also night routes of ground urban transport, these are buses No. H1, H2, H3. Letters are also used for shortened flights: they duplicate the busiest sections of the route. To make it easier for passengers to navigate, when entering such a route, the letter “k” (short) is added to the main number. There is, for example, bus route No. 709, following from the Orekhovo metro station to the Kashirskaya metro station, and there is No. 709k, which goes from the Orekhovo metro station to the Moskvorechye platform.

There is no special numbering system for transport in Moscow - it is a wild mixture between hundred-year-old route numbers, Stalinist, Brezhnev and numbers from the 1990s. They all piled on top of each other.

There are also routes that use letters in their designation. This may be due to the fact that once the transport route was divided into two parts. It also happens that the route forks: the transport follows the route, and then its version, to the numbering of which the letter A is added, turns right. The variant without such a letter continues to follow straight ahead. All this, of course, causes confusion. City navigation is absolutely not user-friendly. If a person does not specialize in this topic, he is unlikely to know about any routes other than those that he needs.

In Soviet times, work was regularly carried out to optimize the urban transport system. In the 90s, they stopped doing this, and now attempts are being resumed. Last year, not only the problem of transport numbering was raised, but also the question of the need for certain routes. It happens that they lose their relevance: for example, there was a bus that took people to the factory. The enterprise was closed, and people stopped going there, but the route continues to function. Does the city need it? But, unfortunately, so far these works have not led to a positive result.
