Mikhail KizlykoHead of the Traffic Management Centre:
— Water transport in Moscow is experiencing a renaissance. Last year alone, ships on the Moscow River carried more than 1,200,000 passengers. Our task — make river transport comfortable and safe and integrate it into the urban transport system. To do this, we have added functionality to the Moscow Transport application that allows you to use ships as usual public transport. For example, passengers are already used to being able to find a stop on the map, see where the correct bus is and what time it will arrive. Similar opportunities now exist for river transport. It is especially important that in the application you can buy a ticket for a river trip.
The Moscow Transport application is being developed as a MaaS (Mobility-as-a-Service) platform. It combines different modes of transport in one digital space and personalizes routes and rates for each user.
Now all city transport, bike rental, taxi, car-sharing and scooter rental are integrated in the application, and in July there were functions for motorists, including building a route taking into account traffic and road closures and paying for parking.
