Life in the city. Mosgortrans introduces banking technologies

O. ZHURAVLEVA: It's 16.35 in Moscow, and you know, the roads in Moscow are such a complicated thing, our guest hasn't reached us yet. I hope we can talk to him on the phone. Olga Zhuravleva, and Alexey Osin. And we have Boris Tkachuk in touch. Boris Iosifovich, can you hear us? Hello, hello, can you hear us?

B. TKACHUK: Hello.

A. OSIN: Hello.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Hello. Are you coming to us, or have you already somehow already stopped?

B. TKACHUK: Well, it turned out that we are kind of late. I think it will be faster by phone, probably, some questions ...

O. ZHURAVLEVA: That's right, let's call. So first deputy CEO State Unitary Enterprise "Mosgortrans", and the theme of our meeting today is "Night routes in Moscow." To begin with, tell me when and where to wait for the first night transport, let's say, in Moscow.

B. TKACHUK: Well, they are already working. The first ones were launched from Friday to Saturday, from the 30th to the 31st. So, we already have some experience of this option. Launched 5 routes.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Five routes, what type of transport?

B. TKACHUK: Well, one bus. It will only work at night. It turned out to be quite long, it goes from Ozernaya Street - this is Yugo-Zapadnaya Street to Sheremetyevo, through the center. Imagine, it's almost 60 kilometers.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Wow, trip.

B. TKACHUK: Well, yes, but the connection is very interesting. Airport, city center, huh? And Southwest.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Yes, not bad.

A. OSIN: How much is pleasure? The same as the city ones, or more expensive?

B. TKACHUK: Well, the same number is not the same. As you pay during the day, so you will pay at night. In addition, two trolleybuses are the number "15", which we have and works during the day, and will work at night. That is, it will work around the clock. This is VDNKh South, and Luzhniki. But also through the city center. Then our “Insect” is “B”, the garden ring is black and red. Well, outer and inner ring. And the tram was even launched. This is from Academician Yangel Street - this is Chertanovo. Through the city center, Paveletskaya, Chistye Prudy metro station - Boulevard Ring.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Tell me, please, Boris Iosifovich, well, lately I, too, as a Muscovite, come across various innovations, new ones, old routes have been launched, and so on. How about informing? Why I ask where we will wait for night transport is because very often people simply do not know that at such and such a time, in such and such a place, you can wait for something. Are there colorful posters somewhere that announce this, are there any billboards in the city center, or maybe in Sheremetyevo, or maybe somewhere else. How are you with information?

B. TKACHUK: So, there is a certain order that is observed. Three days of announcement hung at all stops.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Right at all?

B. TKACHUK: Yes, for everyone. Also, sites. The site of our "Mosgortrans", the Department of Transport and Communications, as if there were oral messages in the rolling stock that here ...

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Well, where Mosgortrans usually announces.

B. TKACHUK: Yes, verbal announcement, as it were. Well, and this is what information did come through - the first night there was a lot of press, many bloggers took part. (Unintelligible) including, of course, our workers, of course, drove the first night on almost all routes. Heads of the enterprise who work on these routes.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Tell me, please, from what time until what time, at what intervals, in principle, should night transport work according to your ideas?

B. TKACHUK: Well... According to ours? Well, it's not just ours, it's the Department of Transportation's vision. This means that our bus runs every 30 minutes, the 15th trolleybus also runs every 30 minutes, the tram also runs 30 minutes, but the Bukashka runs every 15 minutes.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Wow!

B. TKACHUK: In order to provide a convenient transfer. In order not to run from stop to stop, you arrived at this long one, you need to move to another one, got on the Bukashka, drove there, drove to the desired direction, changed and drove off.

A. OSIN: Tell me, what will the continuation of the experiment depend on, or, on the contrary, will it be curtailed?

B. TKACHUK: Well, first of all, the experiment will probably work if it is in demand. If passengers, Muscovites, and guests of the capital will probably use these directions. Well, it's like a pilot project with us. Well, perhaps it will be interesting history a little bit. Because in 2005, on our own initiative, I mean Mosgortrans, we organized night routes, but after a year and a half, we closed them. Well, because they weren't in demand. But time has passed, sorry 8 years, right? Not only we are changing, but the city is also changing, the need for night movements is felt. Many supermarkets are open there, cinemas, cafes that work around the clock. Well, that's why the decision was made by the Department to organize such routes. We said yes, and they were organized. (inaudible) work not bad so far.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: I think that even paid parking at night in the center, it also slightly reorients citizens who suddenly go on some kind of night trip.

B. TKACHUK: Yes, absolutely. Why taxis when there are these directions, they are generally quite interesting.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Yes, please tell me more, Boris Iosifovich, in principle this transport should run while the metro is closed. Or how?

B. TKACHUK: So?

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Well, that is, I mean that the time of its operation is limited by the time of the non-working subway.

B. TKACHUK: Yes, yes, yes. Well, there are still many nuances here, these are the next steps. We have organization rules passenger traffic, which determine the work of ground urban passenger transport from 6 am to 1 am. We started working around the clock, so, probably, it will also be necessary to make appropriate changes. We are on "15th", "Insect" (inaudible) works around the clock. They work during the day and work at night. But "H1" so far only works at night. It starts working at 1 am, when the metro stops working, and ends at 5.30, when new metro stations appear. They open, as a rule, at 5.15, at 5.20 they already begin to function.

A. OSIN: Excuse me, but here is a question. Look, it's obvious that it's much easier to run the metro at night, and all problems will be solved. But obviously they don’t want to make a rooming house out of the metro, maybe for these reasons ...

B. TKACHUK: I don't think so.

A. OSIN: No? Or just needs to be fixed?

B. TKACHUK: Yes, there are certain rules, which require the regulation of maintenance as a rail facility there, and so on. However, we have the same problem. Because we launched the tram, we launched the electric transport, the trolleybus too. We also have preventive measures. But you understand, after all, the scale of the metro ... The tasks are the same, of course, and security issues, of course. Well, we have made such a decision, we will still think about how to do it. We will try to make certain windows, maybe use bus transport during this time. But I think Muscovites will not feel it.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Tell me, please, Boris Iosifovich, can you already say how expensive night transport is? Additional shifts, maybe they are paid more seriously? The night shift is probably more expensive for the driver. Some other things there. You yourself say that there is something to think about with prevention, right? Perhaps controllers should also work at night, or what? How expensive is it, in principle, to launch such a route at night?

B. TKACHUK: Well, in principle, of course, it is expensive, it does not justify itself today, the economy is still negative. But as if this is not the first, probably. The most important thing is the new kind like, yes? At night, drive around the city, drive from your place of residence, let's say ... Do not catch some private trader who is not yet clear where he will take you, but here is a reliable mode of transport that will ensure both safety and comfort of the trip.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Well, by the way, they ask you about safety. Should there be any special security for night transport? You never know, they will climb into the route there, I don’t know, some night hooligans are tipsy. What will the driver do, what will the passengers do?

B. TKACHUK: Well, you understand, the Glonass system has been working for more than a year, which allows you to communicate with any unit of rolling stock. And therefore, there is a direct connection with the driver, the dispatcher keeps in touch with them, and if anything, there is always 02, 112, the dispatcher ... The police department, as it were, is also in the know, I mean the police. That their routes will probably also be close to ours. But so far there have been no such problems.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: I see. Is it possible to talk about what you received, I don’t know any first reviews there. Maybe there are already some, I don’t know, ideas for new routes on the Mosgortrans website, or has someone already praised these routes?

B. TKACHUK: Not yet, but thank you for now. Not much is true, but there is. More convenient than what? We have Wi-Fi working there, you understand, and now we are analyzing this case. There are a lot of young people, among other things, with (inaudible) who... Our young people are more active at night.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Tell me, how quickly? After all, it turns out that these routes can correspond to the schedule more than daytime ones. I understand that there are no traffic jams at this time.

B. TKACHUK: Yes, the speed has increased. Here, at least, buses - this is plus 30% somewhere we managed. "Insect" is the same, 30% higher. The “15th” trolleybus is about +15% there, the same tram.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Well, he still has a speed limit.

B. TKACHUK: Yes, after all, attachment, so there are certain conditions. So yes...

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Quickly, comfortably and with Wi-Fi.

B. TKACHUK: It works much more efficiently. There are no delays, of course, and in the city center.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Is there a schedule at each stop?

B. TKACHUK: Yes, the schedule at each stop is written there around the clock, or only at night, from ... And there is a timetable on the back. As I said - 30-15 minutes.

A. OSIN: As an idea, you see, the idea that all the same, the purpose of these routes is rather not transport. Because, well, I can get from Lake Street to the Airport, let's say, right? Get hooked somewhere from Leningradka, or ride somewhere else along the Garden Ring. But I think it's more educational.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Entertaining.

A. OSIN: Entertaining, educational. Can somehow change the trend of these routes in this direction? Maybe the prices there may not be so small, but to do more, with some comfort, somehow in this direction. And at the same time, transport is there if someone drove up - and it's good.

B. TKACHUK: Well, the Department and we are now, of course, thinking about this, expanding the complex of all these services, so to speak. But first of all, this is transportation, some kind of targeted trips, you understand? And I think they will appear, and they are already appearing by the way. That's "B" for example, right? This is the Kursk railway station, Paveletsky railway station. They move, they miss the metro, and some of them already use it, you know? In order to drive up. Well, this is an experience, we just started, here's a week.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Well, here is Natalia...

B. TKACHUK: And in order to understand, it takes about 3 months, and even more so now we will enter autumn, people have just arrived here from their vacation.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Well, Natalya thinks that: “And in the daytime, many buses run half-empty, and at night there will be no one on the ground transport. They don’t know where to throw money away,” Natalya believes.

B. TKACHUK: And where did they see empty buses with us? Let them say we...

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Will we load them? By the way, you are Boris Iosifovich, you ...

B. TKACHUK: You understand, here they look in the wrong place, you understand7 After all, passenger traffic changes, depending on the direction. One way in the morning, right? Evening in the other direction. Here she was standing somewhere, she saw that she was walking empty, suppose from the metro, somewhere in the microdistrict in the morning. Of course it will be empty.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: I see, Boris Iosifovich...

B. TKACHUK: So here you understand, well... We'll see, neither the city nor we will spend money just like that.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Then we can give some advice on how to spend money from our listeners and our passengers.

B. TKACHUK: Of course.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: So, everyone is very worried about information boards that could indicate when the next transport will arrive.

B. TKACHUK: Whole company is currently working in this direction, and soon they will appear.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: I would very much like to, and on my own behalf I will also say that when you say that at each stop there was information for 3 days, as expected. I'll tell you honestly, I once got on the updated tram route on the day it was launched - there was no information even at a major hub near the metro station. Informing was carried out by the driver, leaning out into the cabin. He leaned out and reported that such and such a stop was canceled, and the tram itself was now going back and forth. It seems to me that this should be monitored very actively.

B. TKACHUK: I agree with you here. You see, we are working in this direction. Individual transport system- this is a whole system that covers just this all. And not only the scoreboard, but the same mobile phone, you understand? By which you can find out at any stop when the bus comes. They are also working in this direction.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: It wouldn't be bad, yes.

B. TKACHUK: This is a close prospect.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: And another question about transport stops. Here, too, I use not only some well-equipped central transport hubs, but also ordinary stops, which are not the most popular ones. In many cases, there is not only a roof, but you will not see a sign for this transport yourself. It's not like you can't read the schedule. Because everything hangs high, on wires, and you can’t always guess which way this tram is going. Are there any innovations in this area? Will you unify the stops, bring them to some common denominator?

B. TKACHUK: Well, they already have such stops in this regard, right? This used to be a tram especially, right? Hanging high, today...

O. ZHURAVLEVA: I was at the tram stop yesterday, no need.

B. TKACHUK: Tell us what the stop is, and we will fix this matter.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Hospital No. 6, tram stop.

B. TKACHUK: What kind? Name the stop.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Hospital No. 6, several tram routes stop there. "15th" in my opinion, "30" ...

B. TKACHUK: Okay, let's see.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: They go to Strogino from there.

B. TKACHUK: Oh, yes, “15”, “10”, “30”…

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Quite right. Somehow like this. Boris Iosifovich, there is ...

B. TKACHUK: We have already forgotten the night ones…

O. ZHURAVLEVA: What?

B. TKACHUK: Have we already forgotten the night ones?

O. ZHURAVLEVA: No, we have not forgotten. Can you tell me, please, when we should wait for the decision already made, did the route go or not? What time frame do you give? Are you talking about 3 months, or somehow it could be longer?

B. TKACHUK: No, well, he walks, and he will walk.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: No, I mean, it went as a project.

A. OSIN: You can probably remove it in a week.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Maybe you can cancel it.

B. TKACHUK: Well, this decision will not only be ours, but also the decision of the Department of Transport. Therefore, the analysis will be very scrupulous, deep.

A. OSIN: Don't you consider, let's say, the work of private minibuses on these segments as an indicator? After all, they are very scrupulous about their income, and therefore they also take pictures of the route at night, go as you like. Although they could let them in once an hour.

B. TKACHUK: Yes, we could. But the city thinks about everyone, and not just about those who pay big money, so ... We carry everyone, and they only those who pay. Well, maybe there is one...

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Well, okay, okay…

B. TKACHUK: Some put two people in jail.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Okay, okay, our buses don't ride for free either, you'll agree.

A. OSIN: Certain categories of citizens travel for free, yes.

B. TKACHUK: 50%. Well, what are you, a lot. Especially on buses. We have a lot of beneficiaries.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: It's true.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Well, all right. As a consolation to you, in conclusion, I will read a text message from Andrey from Perm: “Well, you Muscovites give, I envy you like hell. It’s impossible for us to leave at 10 pm, well done.”

B. TKACHUK: See how?

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Yes. Well, here's a trifle, but nice.

A. OSIN: We are all great here.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: Thank you very much, Boris Tkachuk, First Deputy General Director of State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans, was in touch with us today in the Road program, together with the Moscow Department of Transport. But the "Daily U-turn" ends here, it was held by Olga Zhuravleva, Alexei Osin. Thank you.

A. OSIN: Thank you and happily, goodbye.

O. ZHURAVLEVA: All the best, goodbye.

Development public transport and the creation of special lanes is included in the plan of priority measures to combat traffic jams, which was developed at the initiative of the mayor of Moscow at the end of 2010. The city authorities have come up with a new way to deal with traffic congestion - these are "fast" buses in dedicated lanes. Almost all special lanes that are already open in Moscow or will open before the end of 2012, it is planned to launch express routes.

On the implementation of the plan and the introduction of dedicated lanes on the road network in an interview information center The Moscow government told Boris Iosifovich Tkachuk, First Deputy General Director of State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans.

Moscow Government Information Center: Boris Iosifovich, let's start with technical and organizational issues. How special requirements should the highway meet for the organization of a dedicated lane on it, and is its capacity taken into account?

B.T.: The organization of a dedicated lane is a complex multifaceted process. Before opening the strip, a number of specific studies are carried out and a project of the organization is being prepared traffic and then the appropriate decision is made. It all depends on the intensity of traffic on highways and streets. There are certain norms - this is, first of all, a three-lane road in one direction. Its width must be at least 10.5 meters. If such conditions exist, then a decision is made on the organization of a dedicated lane.
It is worth emphasizing that dedicated lanes are organized for urban passenger transport, thus Moscow offers significant advantages to passengers. After all, public transport is much more efficient for the city than personal. It occupies less area of the road and, given the shortage of the road network, both in terms of area and length, this is a very reasonable and effective decision that was made by the Moscow Government.

Information Center of the Government of Moscow: It turns out that thanks to the organization of dedicated lanes, the speed of public transport is clearly increasing. But is this a sufficient condition for it to become attractive to Muscovites as an alternative to a personal one?

BT: There are two directions here. The organization of traffic on a separate lane, on the one hand, is an increase in the quality of passenger service, and on the other hand, an increase in the efficiency of the rolling stock on this lane. If we talk about the first direction, this is, first of all, a reduction in the travel time of a passenger. Since the quality of service is determined by the time that a person spends on a trip. Literally the first months of the launch of the very first separate lane on the Volokolamsk highway showed high efficiency her work. The speed of movement increased by 20%, and, accordingly, the intervals on the route were reduced, and of course, as an important consequence, the travel time decreased. Here are a few more figures: the speed of public transport along dedicated lanes on Schelkovskoye Highway also increased by 20%, on Pyatnitskoye Highway - by 22%, along Lipetskaya Street - by 22%, on Borovsky Highway - by 34%, on Andropov Avenue - by 43%.
The second direction is an increase in efficiency, which is achieved by performing more trips with the same rolling stock. In 2010, urban passenger transport stood idle for about a month due to traffic jams. Public transport stopped for a whole month! Imagine how many passengers we could not carry! At the end of 2011, we will sum up new results, but I am sure that today, the forecasts look much more optimistic.

Information Center of the Government of Moscow: Boris Iosifovich, since we started talking about reducing the intervals on the routes, wrapping it in numbers, how much will they decrease?

B.T.: If we talk about today, then we have begun organizing traffic on dedicated bus lanes of accelerated traffic. They got the 900 number. Since the beginning of November, the first express route in the city has been launched in the Western District of Moscow. The first stop of the express bus is Sculptor Mukhina Street in the Novo-Peredelkino area, and the last one is Kyiv railway station. There are eight stops on the route, and the journey time is approximately 50 minutes.
"901" has already gone along Lipetskaya street, "902" - along Borovskoye highway to Novo-Peredelkino, and from Kholmogorskaya street to Rizhsky railway station - "903". On these routes, the intervals that should be on all city routes are observed - this is 5 minutes. However, we plan to reduce them, depending on the passenger traffic.
In the future, in order to popularize the express route, next to the express bus stop, intercepting parking lots will be created so that you can leave your car there and transfer directly to the bus, thereby unloading the central direction.

Information Center of the Moscow Government: In connection with the increase in the speed of public transport, the question that is most relevant for Moscow passengers is: will the fare in public transport increase with the growth of its attractiveness?

BT: No way! In this case, one has nothing to do with the other. Next year, fares for urban passenger transport will not increase (Decree of the Government of Moscow dated November 29, 2011 No. 563-PP).

Information Center of the Government of Moscow: Today, the capital is actively attracting city residents to use public transport. So, for example, in ZelAO, a project was launched to provide free wireless wifi access to the Internet along the route "400", initiated by the Moscow authorities and the MTS company. What next steps will be taken to improve the comfort and attractiveness of public transport?

B.T.: On this moment, all the rolling stock that has been coming to us for two years now are cars with a low floor. In these trains there are places for the disabled, both for wheelchairs and for people with limited mobility. All these buses are equipped with a climate control system: air-conditioned for summer, powerful stoves for winter. Naturally, they are equipped with more comfortable seats, and the rolling stock themselves have become much more reliable.
And as for the free wireless Wi-Fi access to the Internet along the route "400" - this is an approbation of the service that we are currently testing. If everything goes well, and I think it will, then we will implement it on other routes as well.
Speaking of the "900" routes, it is also worth noting that turnstiles are lowered in them to reduce boarding time.
In this situation, a great responsibility lies with the passengers - the city does not cancel the fare, but allows citizens to get on the bus without difficulty. Therefore, all Social responsibility rests with the residents themselves. We appeal to their honesty and integrity. To coordinate the situation, Mosgortrans launched control along the routes both by the forces of the park and by the forces of the city. Therefore, a request to Muscovites is to be more careful when passing through the ASKP system and “validate” your travel document.

Information Center of the Government of Moscow: Is it planned to organize dedicated lanes for public transport in the center of Moscow?

B.T.: If we consider the Garden Ring, then in 2013 it is planned to organize a separate strip. And in the central part of the city, dedicated lanes have been operating for a long time. For example, - Solyanka, the oncoming lane on this street exists only for urban public transport. As well as the streets of Ordynka, Bolshaya Polyanka. Oncoming separate lanes for urban transport have been operating there for a long time and, I think, will continue to function.

Information Center of the Government of Moscow: How is the work on organizing transport hubs going? How many nodes are fully operational in Moscow today, and how many more are planned to open before the end of the year?

B.T.: The problem of organization of transport interchange hubs by Mosgortrans is also being actively monitored along with the city authorities, since this whole range of issues is directly related to improving the quality of service for the population of the capital. The reduction of congestion situations in large passenger-generating hubs, where transfer hubs will be organized, is the first sign of an improvement in the route's operation.
The pilot project at the Planernaya metro station has now been completed. It has its pros and cons. At the Tushinskaya metro station, the organization of transport hubs is coming to an end, and this is being done quite effectively. In the near future, the city plans to introduce another 15 large hubs, they will be organized in a certain way, where passengers will be provided with comfortable conditions for transferring from one type of transport to another - such as Vykhino, Tekstilshchiki, Kuzminki, the transport hub at the station is partially completed "Southwestern". There is also a separate lane. In a word, urban passenger transport feels certain shifts for the better.

The development of public transport and the creation of special lanes is included in the plan of priority measures to combat traffic jams, which was developed at the initiative of the Mayor of Moscow at the end of 2010. The city authorities have come up with a new way to deal with traffic congestion - these are "fast" buses in dedicated lanes.
