The frequency of checks on abandoned items and suspicious items in the cabins of buses, trolley buses and trams will also be increased.

The streets of Moscow are among the most popular meeting places for the New Year. And then, during the New Year holidays, few people stay at home. Muscovites go for a walk at the "Journey to Christmas" festival, go ice skating on giant ice rinks and slides for tubing, skiing and sledging ... Public transport helps them to move around the city, which operates on a special holiday schedule these days. What it is and where not to go by car, "RG" found out.

On Tverskaya only on foot

"Travel to Christmas" gathers thousands of people in the capital who are not afraid of frost or slush. A dense crowd of people walk along the sidewalks of Tverskaya, moving from site to site, looking at the light installations that have adorned Moscow. Tverskaya Street - from Triumfalnaya Square to the Kremlin - is given to pedestrians for five whole days. Local overlaps in one lane will begin tomorrow, December 29th. And then the main street of the city, as well as Mokhovaya, Okhotny Ryad and almost all adjacent lanes will be completely closed - this will happen on Saturday night, December 30, and will only be opened on January 3. On the last day of the old year, all approaches to Red Square, including Varvarka, Ilyinka, Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge, will also be closed. Cars will be allowed there again only on the third day.

Metro all night

To get to the center on New Year's and on the days of overlap is, of course, the easiest way to take the metro. For the second time, the subway will operate all night on December 31, without interruption. According to the head of the Moscow Metro, Viktor Kozlovsky, trains will run on the night of January 1 at intervals of 3.5 to 10 minutes. The Moscow Central Circle will operate on the same schedule. That is, having met the New Year and listening to the chimes in the center of the capital, it will be easy to return home.

By the way, Muscovites began to receive gifts from the metro a week before the New Year. Two theme trains were launched on the Circle Line.

Ground transport will also run in the New Year - a total of 168 routes will work until the morning.

But on Christmas, January 7, subway trains will extend their working day until 2 am, and 174 ground transport routes will also run.

Who is out of town?

They adjust to the New Year and electric trains. Their schedule changes for all holidays, and starting from December 29th. As the press service of the Central Suburban Passenger Company reports, due to the fact that there are fewer passengers, some trains are canceled during the holidays. From December 30 to January 7, they will run according to the Saturday schedule, January 8 - according to the Sunday schedule, on the ninth everything will return to normal.

In addition, on New Year's Eve in some directions, the last night trains will leave the stations an hour later.

On the Leningrad direction, which is served by another carrier company - the Moscow-Tverskaya suburban passenger train - from January 1 to January 8, all electric trains, both "Lastochki" and ordinary ones, will run on a weekend schedule. All changes have already been uploaded to the applications with timetables - "Electric trains" and "Yandex.Electric trains", you can also look at the Russian Railways website.

The fare will rise in price, but not by much

Going on a trip, do not forget - from January 2, fares in Moscow will change - a trip on the Troika will rise in price by one ruble, instead of 35 rubles, you will have to pay 36. Prices for season tickets will rise by several dozen rubles. But insignificantly - the maximum rise in price is 3.8 percent.

But electric trains, as promised by Maxim Dyakonov, the executive director of TsPPK, most likely will not rise in price next year. But in the first half of the year, the company is going to finally release an application through which it will be possible to buy single tickets for trips, which will relieve passengers of the need to run to the ticket office every time - today 70 percent of tickets sold at ticket offices and vending machines are one-time tickets.

by the way

And on January 1, turnstiles will be removed in large buses with "accordion". In return, a validator will appear at each door. The city also promises to tighten control. In total, according to the estimates of Mosgortrans, 60 bus and 15 tram routes will operate without turnstiles. Removing the turnstiles will speed up the journey for each passenger by an average of 5 minutes.
