The second route of electric ships has been launched in the Russian capital along the Moskva River 'ZIL - Pechatniki'. The length of the route, which passes through areas where more than 700 thousand people live, exceeds 9 km. This was announced by the Mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin.
It is noted that thanks to the new route, passengers will save up to 40 minutes on the way. For example, a trip from Pechatniki to Nagátinskiy Zaton by public transport takes more than 40 minutes, and by Moskva river on modern comfortable ships - only 12 minutes.
The first route of electric ships from the Kievsky rail terminal to the berth on the Shelepikha Embankment was opened in Moscow in June 2023. Almost 250 thousand people have already used the route.
According to Sobyanin, the launch of electric ships is a unique project not only for Russia but also for the whole world. This is the first electrically powered water transport that operates all year round. About 2500 trips are made in Moscow every day, the mayor of the city summed up.
