On July 12, a retro tram parade took place in Moscow, running from the tram repair plant on Volochaevskaya Street to Sergia Radonezhskogo Street via the Entuziastov Highway. The event was timed to coincide with Moscow Transport Day, which is celebrated for the ninth time.
Before the start of the parade, the head of the Moscow Department of Transport, Maxim Liksutov, noted that trams have become the pride of the city and an important object of attention from the government.
Back in 2010, the Mayor of Moscow instructed to develop a program to primarily update the cars of the Moscow tram fleet, in order to update the tram infrastructure
On the territory of the tram repair plant, viewers could see actors in historical costumes, including traffic controllers and refined Muscovites. Military personnel, workers, and drivers – actors – became passengers of the retro trams.
The parade attracted viewers who watched the movement of the trams with interest and photographed the historical cars. At the final stop near Sergia Radonezhskogo Street, a festival was held with free treats, entertainment for children, and performances by artists.
