Moscow plans to massively transition trams to driverless operation. According to the Ministry of Transport, about two-thirds of the capital's fleet will be equipped with autonomous technologies by 2030, and by 2035, about 90% of trams will be controlled by driverless systems.
The plans until 2030 include equipping over 300 Moscow trams with driverless technologies; by 2035, about 90% of Moscow trams will operate on driverless technologies.
Why this is important: The introduction of driverless technologies will increase the accuracy and reliability of tram transport, reduce the risk of human error, and become a step towards fully automated urban mobility.
On September 3, the Mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, launched the first driverless tram in Russia on the route "Shchukinskaya Metro Station – Kulakova Street." By the end of 2025, three trams will already begin regular trips with passengers on route No. 10 after the completion of tests. By the end of 2026, 15 trams will operate autonomously in the Krasnopresnensky depot.
