The capital’s Ministry of Transport said that roads in Moscow have become much clearer

The head of the Moscow Ministry of Transport, Maxim Liksutov, boasted that during the eleven months of the previous year, an average of 2.84 million cars per day passed through the capital, which is 4% less than in 2022. The official thinks this is too is due to the growing popularity of public transport.

As the Moscow Ministry of Transport reports on its Telegram channel, the number of days with recorded “high congestion” on the roads from January to November 2023 compared to last year decreased by 28%. Officials do not specify how many points the mayor’s office considers a “high caseload.”

“On the orders of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, we are rapidly introducing new metro stations and MCD, developing a network of dedicated lanes, taxis and a short-term car rental service,” Liksutov emphasized.

The Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management traditionally links the decrease in traffic congestion to the growing popularity of urban transport. Motorists in Moscow are reportedly increasingly leaving their cars at home and riding the metro, buses and taxis.

— An affordable alternative to a passenger car is created; urban transport is becoming more convenient, comfortable and attractive every year. At the same time, a transport reserve is being created for the coming decades,” said the head of the capital’s transport department.
