The [[Moscow Metro]] system is famous for its art, [[mural]]s, [[mosaic]]s, and ornate [[chandelier]]s. It started operation in 1935 and immediately became the centrepiece of the transportation system. More than that it was a Stalinist device to awe and reward the populace, and give them an appreciation of Soviet realist art. It became the prototype for future Soviet large-scale technologies. [[Lazar Kaganovich]] was in charge; he designed the subway so that citizens would absorb the values and ethos of Stalinist civilisation as they rode. The artwork of the 13 original stations became nationally and internationally famous. For example, the Sverdlov Square subway station featured porcelain bas-reliefs depicting the daily life of the Soviet peoples, and the bas-reliefs at the Dynamo Stadium sports complex glorified sports and the physical prowess of the powerful new "Homo Sovieticus" (Soviet man).<ref>[[Isabel Wünsche]], "Homo Sovieticus: The Athletic Motif in the Design of the Dynamo Metro Station", ''Studies in the Decorative Arts'' (2000) 7#2 pp. 65–90</ref>

The metro was touted as the symbol of the new social order—a sort of Communist cathedral of engineering modernity.<ref>Andrew Jenks, "A Metro on the Mount", ''Technology & Culture'' (2000) 41#4 pp. 697–723</ref> Soviet workers did the labour and the artwork, but the main engineering designs, routes, and construction plans were handled by specialists recruited from the London Underground. The Britons called for tunneling instead of the "cut-and-cover" technique, the use of escalators instead of lifts, and designed the routes and the rolling stock.<ref>Michael Robbins, "London Underground and Moscow Metro", ''Journal of Transport History'', (1997) 18#1 pp. 45–53.</ref> The paranoia of Stalin and the NKVD was evident when the secret police arrested numerous British engineers for espionage—that is for gaining an in-depth knowledge of the city's physical layout. Engineers for the Metropolitan Vickers Electrical Company were given a show trial and deported in 1933, ending the role of British business in the USSR.<ref>Gordon W. Morrell, "Redefining Intelligence and Intelligence-Gathering: The Industrial Intelligence Centre and the Metro-Vickers Affair, Moscow 1933", ''Intelligence and National Security'' (1994) 9#3 pp. 520–533.</ref>

Today, the Moscow Metro comprises twelve lines, mostly underground with a total of 203 stations. The Metro is one of the deepest subway systems in the world; for instance, the [[Park Pobedy (Moscow Metro)|Park Pobedy]] station, completed in 2003, at {{convert|84|m}} underground, has the longest escalators in Europe. The Moscow Metro is the busiest metro system in Europe, as well as [[Metro systems by annual passenger rides|one of the world's busiest]] metro systems, serving about ten million passengers daily (300,000,000 people every month).<ref name="metro">{{cite web |url=http://www.mosmetro.ru/pages/page_0.php?id_page=99 |language=ru |script-title=ru:Московский метрополитен |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060714154607/http://www.mosmetro.ru/pages/page_0.php?id_page=99 |archive-date=14 July 2006 |access-date=4 July 2006 }}</ref> Facing serious transportation problems, Moscow has plans for expanding its Metro.

Due to the treatment of Metro stations as possible canvas for art, characterized by the fact that workers of Moscow would get to see them every day, many Stalin-era metro stations were built in different "custom" designs (where each station's design would be, initially, a massive installation on a certain theme. For example, [[Elektrozavodskaya (Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line)|Elektrozavodskaya]] station was themed solely after nearby lightbulb factory and ceramic ribbed lightbulb sockets);<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.railway-technology.com/features/moscow-metro-stations/ |title=The people's palace: exploring Moscow Metro's evolving designs |work=RailwayTechnology |date=10 December 2018 |access-date=30 September 2020 |archive-date=2 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201002221948/https://www.railway-technology.com/features/moscow-metro-stations/ |url-status=live }}</ref> the tradition of "Grand Designs" and, basically, decorating metro stations as single-themed installations, was restored in late 1979.

Moscow's metro is one of the world's busiest, handling 2.6 billion passengers in 2019.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.ft.com/content/4e02625c-ef1e-4ee0-bb3b-6fc7ea044f40 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221210/https://www.ft.com/content/4e02625c-ef1e-4ee0-bb3b-6fc7ea044f40 |archive-date=10 December 2022 |title=The people's subway: the Soviet Union's ornate metros in pictures |work=Financial Times |last=Seddon |first=Max |date=13 February 2021 |access-date=21 September 2021 |url-access=subscription }}</ref>

In the Russian capital, there are over 21.5 thousand Wi-Fi access points, in student dormitories, in parks, cultural and sports institutions, and within the Garden Ring and the Third Transport Ring. From September 2020 to August 2021, 1,700 new access points to urban Wi-Fi were launched in Moscow.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.totaltele.com/511683/Online-city-17-thousand-new-Wi-Fi-access-points-have-been-installed-in-Moscow-in-a-year |title=Online city: 1.7 thousand new Wi-Fi access points have been installed in Moscow in a year |publisher=Total Telecom |date=16 November 2021 |access-date=9 January 2022 |archive-date=6 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206091403/https://www.totaltele.com/511683/Online-city-17-thousand-new-Wi-Fi-access-points-have-been-installed-in-Moscow-in-a-year |url-status=dead }}</ref> The structure of the Wi-Fi network allows citizens to use the Internet without re-authorization.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://foreignaffairs.co.nz/2021/06/29/mil-osi-submissions-russian-federation-city-wi-fi-network-is-available-in-four-more-student-dormitories-in-moscow/ |title=MIL-OSI Submissions: Russian Federation – City Wi-Fi network is available in four more student dormitories in Moscow |work=foreignaffairs.co.nz |date=29 June 2021 |access-date=21 September 2021 |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210803170655/https://foreignaffairs.co.nz/2021/06/29/mil-osi-submissions-russian-federation-city-wi-fi-network-is-available-in-four-more-student-dormitories-in-moscow/ }}</ref>

===Monorail===
{{Main|Moscow Monorail}}
[[File:Monorail Moskau - Einfahrt in Station Telezentrum.jpg|thumb|Two trains of the [[Moscow Monorail]]]]

The Moscow Metro operates a short [[Moscow Monorail|monorail line]] (line 13). The line connects [[Timiryazevskaya (Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line)|Timiryazevskaya]] metro station and [[Ulitsa Sergeya Eisensteina]], passing close to [[Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy|VDNH]] (and Line 6 Metro station "V.D.N.Kh."). The line opened in 2004. It accepts overground interchanges, no additional fare is needed if a ride was spent at Moscow Metro within previous 90 minutes.

===Bus, trolleybus and electric bus===
{{Main|Electric buses in Moscow}}
[[File:Выход 500-го электробуса на линию в Москве (09).jpg|thumb|left|Moscow has the [[Electric buses in Moscow|largest fleet of electric buses]] in Europe, with 500 operating {{as of|October 2020|lc=y}}.<ref name="Trolleybus">{{cite web |title=В Москве вышел на линию 500-й электробус |url=https://www.mos.ru/mayor/themes/2299/6851050/ |website=[[Mos.ru]] |access-date=8 October 2020 |language=ru |date=8 October 2020 |archive-date=15 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201015115109/https://www.mos.ru/mayor/themes/2299/6851050/ |url-status=live }}</ref>]]
As Metro stations outside the city center are far apart in comparison to other cities, up to {{convert|4|km}}, a bus network radiates from each station to the surrounding residential zones. Moscow has a bus terminal for long-range and intercity passenger buses ([[Moscow Central Bus Terminal|Central Bus Terminal]]) with a daily turnover of about 25 thousand passengers serving about 40% of long-range bus routes in Moscow.<ref>See also: {{in lang|ru}} [http://www.kvartirant.ru/news/?news_id=10891&date=12.05.2006&date2=2006-05-12] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160101064615/http://www.kvartirant.ru/news/?news_id=10891&date=12.05.2006&date2=2006-05-12|date=1 January 2016}} Realty news. Retrieved on 22 July 2006.</ref>

Every major street in the city is served by at least one bus route. Many of these routes are doubled by a [[trolleybus]] route and have trolley wires over them.

With the total line length of almost {{convert|600|km|abbr=off}} of a single wire, 8 depots, 104 routes, and 1740 vehicles, the Moscow trolleybus system was the [[Trolleybus usage by country|largest in the world]]. But municipal authority, headed by Sergey Sobyanin, began to destroy the trolleybus system in Moscow in 2014 due the planned replacement of trolleybuses by electric buses. In 2018 Moscow trolleybus system has only 4 depots and dozens of kilometers of unused wires. Almost all trolleybus wires inside Garden Ring (Sadovoe Koltso) were cut in 2016–2017 due to the reconstruction of central streets ("Moya Ulitsa"). Opened on 15 November 1933, it is also the world's 6th oldest operating trolleybus system.

In 2018 the vehicle companies [[Kamaz]] and [[GAZ]] have won the [[Mosgortrans]] tender for delivering 200 [[electric bus]]es and 62 ultra-fast charging stations to the city transport system. The manufacturers will be responsible for the quality and reliable operation of the buses and charging stations for the next 15 years. The city will be procuring only electric buses as of 2021, replacing the diesel bus fleet gradually. According to expectations, Moscow will become the leader amongst the European cities in terms of electric and gas fuel share in public transport by 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://rusautonews.com/2018/09/04/first-electric-buses-have-started-operating-in-moscow-in-regular-transport |title=First electric buses have started operating in Moscow in regular transport |date=4 September 2018 |access-date=28 September 2018 |archive-date=29 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180929000432/http://rusautonews.com/2018/09/04/first-electric-buses-have-started-operating-in-moscow-in-regular-transport/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Moscow cable car===
{{Main|Moskva River cable car}}
[[File:Moscow Cable Car.jpg|thumb|Cable cars passing across the [[Moskva River]] and the [[Luzhniki Stadium]]]]
On 26 November 2018, the [[mayor of Moscow]] [[Sergey Sobyanin]] took part in the ceremony to open the [[Moskva River cable car|cable car]] above the [[Moskva River]]. The cable car will connect the [[Luzhniki Olympic Complex|Luzhniki sports complex]] with [[Sparrow Hills]] and Kosygin Street. The journey from the well-known viewpoint on Vorobyovy Gory to [[Luzhniki Stadium]] will last for five minutes instead of 20 minutes that one would have to spend on the same journey by car.

===Tram===
{{Main|Trams in Moscow}}
[[File:Moscow TverZastava Vityaz asv2018-09.jpg|thumb|left|A Vityaz-M tram passing by the [[Tverskaya Zastava Square]]]]

Moscow has an extensive tram system, which first opened in 1899.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://moscowseasons.com/en/news/the-long-trip-to-vityaz-or-the-story-of-the-moscow-tram-system/ |title=The long trip to Vityaz or the story of the Moscow tram system |website=MoscowSeasons |date=22 September 2018 |access-date=29 March 2020 |archive-date=29 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200329113420/https://moscowseasons.com/en/news/the-long-trip-to-vityaz-or-the-story-of-the-moscow-tram-system/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> The newest line was built in 1984. Its daily usage by Muscovites is low, making up for approximately 5% of trips because many vital connections in the network have been withdrawn. Trams still remain important in some districts as feeders to Metro stations. The trams also provide important cross-links between metro lines, for example between [[Universitet (Moscow Metro)|Universitet station]] of [[Sokolnicheskaya Line]] (#1 red line) and [[Profsoyuznaya (Moscow Metro)|Profsoyuznaya station]] of [[Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line]] (#6 orange line) or between [[Voykovskaya (Moscow Metro)|Voykovskaya]] and [[Strogino (Moscow Metro)|Strogino]].
[[File:Moscow tram map 2022-04.svg|thumb|Tram map of Moscow]]
There are three tram networks in the city:
* Krasnopresnenskoye depot network with the westernmost point at Strogino (depot location) and the easternmost point near platform Dmitrovskaya. This network became separated in 1973, but until 1997 it could easily have been reconnected by about {{convert|1|km|chain|0|spell=on|abbr=off}} of track and three switches. The network has the highest usage in Moscow and no weak points based on turnover except to-depot lane (passengers serviced by bus) and tram ring at Dmitrovskaya (because now it is neither a normal transfer point nor a repair terminal).
* The Apakov depot services the south-western part from the Varshavsky lane – Simferopolsky boulevard in the east to the Universitet station in the west and Boulevard lane at the center. This network is connected only by the four-way Dubininskaya and Kozhevnicheskaya streets. A second connection by Vostochnaya (Eastern) street was withdrawn in 1987 due to a fire at the Dinamo plant and has not been recovered, and remains lost (Avtozavodsky bridge) at 1992. The network may be serviced anyway by another depot (now route 35, 38).
* Main three depot networks with railway gate and tram-repair plant.

In addition, tram advocates have suggested that the new rapid transit services (metro to City, Butovo light metro, Monorail) would be more effective as at-grade tram lines and that the problems with trams are only due to poor management and operation, not the technical properties of trams. New tram models have been developed for the Moscow network despite the lack of expansion.

===Taxi===
Commercial taxi services and [[route taxi]]s are in widespread use. In the mid-2010s, service platforms such as [[Yandex.Taxi]], [[Uber]] and [[Gett]] displaced many private drivers and small service providers and were in 2015 servicing more than 50% of all taxi orders in Moscow.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://top.rbc.ru/money/20/07/2015/55ad01229a794778050020f6 |title=Гонки на такси: на чем быстрее и дешевле ездить |work=rbc.ru |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150724134238/http://top.rbc.ru/money/20/07/2015/55ad01229a794778050020f6 |archive-date=24 July 2015 }}</ref><ref>[http://i.rbc.ru/publication/analytic/otsifrovannye_shashki_kak_tehnologii_perekroili Оцифрованные шашки: как технологии перекроили рынок такси / РБК Инновации<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150805050244/http://i.rbc.ru/publication/analytic/otsifrovannye_shashki_kak_tehnologii_perekroili|date=5 August 2015 }}</ref>

Moscow's ten rail terminals (or {{transliteration|ru|vokzals}}) are:
* [[Belorussky Rail Terminal]]
* [[Kazansky Rail Terminal]]
* [[Kiyevsky Rail Terminal]]
* [[Kursky Rail Terminal]]
* [[Leningradsky Rail Terminal]]
* [[Paveletsky Rail Terminal]]
* [[Rizhsky Rail Terminal]]
* [[Savyolovsky Rail Terminal]]
* [[Yaroslavsky Rail Terminal]]
* [[Vostochny Railway Terminal (Moscow)|Vostochny railway Terminal]]

[[File:Bullet-Train.jpg|thumb|The high-speed [[Sapsan]] train links Moscow with [[Saint Petersburg]].]]
The terminals are located close to the city center, along with the metro ringline 5 or close to it, and connect to a metro line to the centre of town. Each station handles trains from different parts of Europe and Asia.<ref name="mostimestrain">{{cite news |url=http://www.themoscowtimes.com/travel/arriving/bytrain.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060708154220/http://www.themoscowtimes.com/travel/arriving/bytrain.html |archive-date=8 July 2006 |newspaper=The Moscow Times |title=Getting to Russia: Arriving by Train |access-date=3 July 2006 }}</ref> There are many smaller railway stations in Moscow. As train tickets are cheap, they are the preferred mode of travel for Russians, especially when departing to Saint Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city. Moscow is the western terminus of the [[Trans-Siberian Railway]], which traverses nearly {{convert|9300|km}} of Russian territory to [[Vladivostok]] on the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] coast.

Suburbs and satellite cities are connected by commuter [[elektrichka]] (electric rail) network. Elektrichkas depart from each of these terminals to the nearby (up to {{cvt|140|km|mi|0|disp=or}}) large railway stations.

During the 2010s, the [[Little Ring of the Moscow Railway]] was converted to be used for frequent passenger service; it is fully integrated with Moscow Metro; the passenger service started on 10 September 2016. A connecting railway line on the North side of the town connects Belorussky terminal with other railway lines. This is used by some suburban trains.

==== Moscow Central Circle ====
[[File:MCC_12LUZH_7041_PLAT.jpg|thumb|left|"Lastochka" train on "[[Luzhniki (Moscow Central Circle)|Luzhniki]]" station (Line 14)]]
The [[Little Ring of the Moscow Railway|Moskovskaya Okruzhnaya Zheleznaya Doroga]] formed a ring around the now-downtown Moscow since 1903, but only served as a non-electrified, fueled locomotive-only railway prior to reconstruction into MCC in 2010's.

The [[Moscow Central Circle]] is a {{convert|54|km|mi|adj = mid|-long}} [[Urban rail transit|urban-metro railway]] orbital line that encircles historical Moscow. It was built alongside [[Little Ring of the Moscow Railway]], taking some of its tracks into itself as well. M.C.C. was opened for passenger use on 10 September 2016.

The line is operated by the [[Moscow Government]] owned company MKZD through the [[Moscow Metro]], with the [[Government of Russia|Federal Government]] owned [[Russian Railways]] selected as the operation subcontractor.

==== Moscow Central Diameters ====

Another system, which forms "genuine ''S-Bahn''" as in "suburbia-city-suburbia"-designed railway, is the [[Moscow Central Diameters]], a pass-through railways system, created by constructing bypasses from "vokzals" final stations (e.g. by avoiding the central stations of already existing Moscow Railway, used for both intercity and urban-suburban travel before)<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.railway-technology.com/news/moscow-central-diameters-opened-public/ |title=Moscow Central Diameters, Russia, opens to the public |date=25 November 2019 |access-date=24 December 2019 |archive-date=24 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191224183501/https://www.railway-technology.com/news/moscow-central-diameters-opened-public/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and forming a train line across Moscow's centre.

Out of 5 projected lines, the first 2 lines were completed and launched on 2019-11-21.

===Roads===
[[File:Площадь Тверская Застава (вид сверху).jpg|thumb|Intersection at [[Tverskaya Zastava Square]]]]
There are over 2.6 million cars in the city daily. Recent years have seen growth in the number of cars, which have caused traffic jams and lack of parking space to become major problems.

The Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), along with the [[Third Ring Road (Moscow)|Third Transport Ring]] and the canceled Fourth Transport Ring, is one of only three freeways that run within Moscow city limits. Several other roadway systems form [[concentric circles]] around the city.

===Air===
There are five primary commercial airports serving Moscow: [[Sheremetyevo International Airport|Sheremetyevo]] (SVO), [[Domodedovo International Airport|Domodedovo]] (DME), [[Vnukovo International Airport|Vnukovo]] (VKO), [[Zhukovsky International Airport|Zhukovsky]] (ZIA), [[Ostafyevo International Airport|Ostafyevo]] (OSF).

Sheremetyevo International Airport is the most globally connected of Moscow's airports, handling 60% of all international flights.<ref name="4airports">{{cite news |url=http://www.go-russia.com/angela.php |title=Moscow Airports |date=7 October 2007 |access-date=7 October 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011092857/http://go-russia.com/angela.php |archive-date=11 October 2007 |publisher=Go-Russia }}</ref> It is also a home to all [[SkyTeam]] members, and the main hub for [[Aeroflot]] (itself a member of SkyTeam). Domodedovo International Airport is the leading airport in Russia in terms of passenger throughput and is the primary gateway to long-haul domestic and CIS destinations and its international traffic rivals Sheremetyevo. It is a hub for [[S7 airlines]], and most of [[OneWorld]] and [[Star Alliance]] members use Domodedovo as their international hub. Vnukovo International Airport handles flights of [[Turkish Airlines]], [[Wizz Air Abu Dhabi]] and others. Ostafyevo International Airport caters primarily to business aviation.

Moscow's airports vary in distances from the MKAD beltway: Domodedovo is the farthest at {{cvt|22|km|0}}; Vnukovo is {{cvt|11|km|0}}; Sheremetyevo is {{cvt|10|km|0}}; and Ostafievo, the nearest, is about {{convert|8|km|mi}} from MKAD.<ref name="4airports"/>

There are a number of smaller airports close to Moscow (19 in Moscow Oblast) such as [[Myachkovo Airport]], that are intended for private aircraft, helicopters and charters.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.sostav.ru/news/2004/08/18/72/ |title=Аэропорт сменил хозяев.

===Water===
Moscow has two passenger terminals, ([[South River Terminal]] and [[North River Terminal]]), on the river and regular ship routes and cruises along the [[Moskva River|Moskva]] and [[Oka River|Oka]] rivers, which are used mostly for entertainment. The [[North River Terminal]], built in 1937, is the main hub for long-range river routes. There are three freight ports serving Moscow.

===Sharing system===

In 1992, the Moscow government began planning a projected new part of central Moscow, the [[Moscow International Business Center]], with the goal of creating a zone, the first in Russia, and in all of Eastern Europe,<ref>{{cite news |date=23 December 2005 |script-title=ru:Москва-Сити начинается строительство Города столиц |language=ru |agency=Lenta.ru |url=http://lenta.ru/news/2005/12/23/city/ |access-date=24 May 2009 |archive-date=22 June 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080622153322/http://www.lenta.ru/news/2005/12/23/city/ |url-status=live }}</ref> that will combine business activity, living space and entertainment. Situated in [[Presnensky District]] and located at the Third Ring, the Moscow City area is under intense development. The construction of the MIBC takes place on the Krasnopresnenskaya embankment. The whole project takes up to {{convert|1|km2|acre|spell=in|abbr=off}}. The area is the only spot in downtown Moscow that can accommodate a project of this magnitude. Today, most of the buildings there are old factories and industrial complexes.

The [[Federation Tower]], completed in 2016, is the [[List of tallest buildings in Europe|second-tallest building in Europe]]. It is planned to include a [[water park]] and other recreational facilities; business, office, entertainment, and residential buildings, a transport network and a [[City Hall and City Duma|new site for the Moscow government]]. The construction of four new metro stations in the territory has been completed, two of which have opened and two others are reserved for future metro lines crossing MIBC, some additional stations were planned.
* A rail shuttle service, directly connecting [[Moscow International Business Center|MIBC]] with the [[Sheremetyevo International Airport]] is also planned.

Major thoroughfares through MIBC are the [[Third Ring Road (Moscow)|Third Ring]] and [[Kutuzovsky Prospekt]].

Three metro stations were initially planned for the [[Filyovskaya Line]]. The station Delovoi Tsentr opened in 2005 and was later renamed [[Vystavochnaya]] in 2009. The branch extended to the [[Mezhdunarodnaya (Moscow Metro)|Mezhdunarodnaya]] station in 2006, and all work on the third station, Dorogomilovskaya (between [[Kiyevskaya (Filyovskaya)|Kiyevskaya]] and Delovoi Tsentr), has been postponed. There are plans to extend the branch as far as the [[Savyolovskaya (Serpukhovsko–Timiryazevskaya line)|Savyolovskaya]] station, on the [[Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line]].

The cellphone service provider MTS announced on 5 March 2021, that they would begin the country's first pilot [[5G]] network in Moscow.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/03/05/russias-mts-launches-pilot-5g-network-in-moscow-hotspots-a73164 |title=Russia's MTS Launches Pilot 5G Network in Moscow Hotspots |work=Moscow Times |date=5 March 2021 |access-date=27 September 2021 |archive-date=25 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211025010605/https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/03/05/russias-mts-launches-pilot-5g-network-in-moscow-hotspots-a73164 |url-status=live }}</ref>
