How are numbers assigned to public transport routes? Nearest public transport stop

You can also lay the route manually, armed with a map, pencil and ruler. But if you ended up on the route planner page, then another, often more convenient option is possible - laying a route online, one of which is offered to you on our site.

There are two types of routing: manual and automatic.

  • With manual laying, you put on the map a series of points that form an arbitrary route.
  • With automatic compilation, you need to specify the start and end points, and our service will lay the best route by itself, calculating the shortest path, taking into account the rules traffic and current traffic situation.

On the compiled route you will see everything car roads and nearby intersections, which will be very useful for motorists and travelers. A map with a route in the city of Moscow will allow you to plan a route and will not let you get lost in an unfamiliar place.

Then specify how you will travel to the final destination by clicking on the appropriate button - "Car", "Walking" or Public transport". After that, click on the "Show route" button.

For several years, a picture-meme has been circulating on the Internet - emotional obscene impressions of a provincial from Moscow. Among them there is also the phrase: “Bus 483, don’t give a damn!” The logic of urban transport numbering is, indeed, not always obvious. The Village found out by what principle numbers are assigned to buses, trolleybuses and trams.

All city routes passenger transport capitals have one-digit, two-digit and three-digit numbers. This numbering has developed historically and does not change. On new directions, transport is assigned new numbers or numbers of previously canceled routes. All numbering is individual, but there are also coincidences: routes can be marked the same way different types transport. So, tram number 3, trolleybus number 3 and bus number 3 travel around the city, but they all follow different routes.

There is no need to assign four-digit numbers to new routes yet. There are, however, bus routes No. 1001, 1002 and 1004, which previously belonged to commercial carriers. In 2013, they were transferred under the management of Mosgortrans, for the convenience of passengers, the numbers were not changed.

Sometimes the numbering takes into account the specifics of a particular route. For example, in Moscow there are several "social" areas of movement, they cover educational institutions, medicine, social protection. The numbers of such routes begin with the letter C: C1, C2, and so on. There are also night routes of ground urban transport, these are buses No. H1, H2, H3. Letters are also used for shortened flights: they duplicate the busiest sections of the route. To make it easier for passengers to navigate, when entering such a route, the letter “k” (short) is added to the main number. There are, for example, bus route No. 709, following from the Orekhovo metro station to the Kashirskaya metro station, and there is No. 709k, which goes from the Orekhovo metro station to the Moskvorechye platform.

There is no special numbering system for transport in Moscow - it is a wild mixture between hundred-year-old route numbers, Stalinist, Brezhnev and numbers from the 1990s. They all piled on top of each other.

There are also routes that use letters in their designation. This may be due to the fact that once the transport route was divided into two parts. It also happens that the route forks: the transport follows the route, and then its version, to the numbering of which the letter A is added, turns right. The variant without such a letter continues to follow straight ahead. All this, of course, causes confusion. City navigation is absolutely not user-friendly. If a person does not specialize in this topic, he is unlikely to know about any routes other than those that he needs.

In Soviet times, work was regularly carried out to optimize the urban transport system. In the 90s, they stopped doing this, and now attempts are being resumed. Last year, not only the problem of transport numbering was raised, but also the question of the need for certain routes. It happens that they lose their relevance: for example, there was a bus that took people to the factory. The enterprise was closed, and people stopped going there, but the route continues to function. Does the city need it? But, unfortunately, so far these works have not led to a positive result.
