“On September 1, we introduced free transfers between different routes on all ground transport in Moscow.
Thanks to this, a one-time trip by land transport has become 1.5 times cheaper.
And for those who travel regularly with transfers, the savings will be up to 11 thousand rubles a year, ”Sobyanin said.
He noted that "this option can be used by 600 thousand passengers who have linked their Troika card to their personal account on the Moscow metro website."
“And their number continues to grow.
In the last three days alone, the number of Troika's registrations has grown by 100 thousand. An unexpectedly high growth that surpassed the most daring forecasts, "the mayor said.
According to him, "since September 1, passengers have made more than 162 thousand trips with free transfers."
“This is important and necessary for people.
Therefore, the number of such trips will continue to grow.
In terms of the cost of travel, Moscow transport is one of the most affordable among the largest cities in the world.
We will continue to improve the ticket system so that travel becomes even more convenient and profitable for residents and guests of the city, ”he added.
Earlier it was reported that from September 1, transfers on ground public transport in Moscow will be free within 90 minutes from the start of the trip.
