“Our city tram once again won the Global Light Rail Awards, we beat our colleagues from Britain and Hungary and became the first nominees for Project of the Year. It is an Oscar in the field of civil rail transport,” the press service of the Moscow Department of Transport said.
The jury of the award noted the scale of development of the tram and its services, describing it as the result of a combination of expertise, technologies and solutions for the Moscow metro. Capital Tram received the award last year. Then it was recognized as the most advanced system.
Moscow Deputy Mayor of Transport Maxim Liksutov said: “The tram is one of the favorite means of transportation for Muscovites. Now the tram network has a new operator – the Moscow Metro. We have changed the approach to infrastructure management – we have adopted strict metro standards in order to provide a reliable and modern means of transportation for passengers. “.
