Several years on the Internet walks the picture - meme - the emotional obscene impressions of the provinciality of Moscow. Among them there is a phrase: "Bus 483rd, nor Figa my digit!" The logic of the numbering of urban transport is indeed not always obvious. The Village found out how the principle of the number is assigned buses, trolley buses and trams.

All routes of urban passenger transport of the capital have unambiguous, two-digit and three-digit rooms. This numbering has developed historically and does not change. In the new directions, transport is assigned new numbers or numbers of previously canceled routes. All numbering is individual, but there are both coincidences: the routes of different types of transport can be equally indicated. So, around the city tram number 3, trolleybus number 3 and bus number 3, but they all follow different routes.

Assign new routes four-digit numbers while there is no need. True, bus routes number 1001, 1002 and 1004, which previously belonged to commercial carriers. In 2013, they were transferred under the control of "Mosgortrans", for the convenience of passengers the number did not change.

Sometimes at numbering the specifics of this or that route is taken into account. For example, in Moscow there are several "social" directions of movement, they cover the institutions of education, medicine, social protection. The numbers of such routes begin with literals from: C1, C2 and so on. There are also night routes of ground urban transport, these are buses No. N1, H2, H3. Letters use both shortened flights: they duplicate the most loaded areas of the path. In order for the passengers to be easier to navigate, when entering such a route to the main number, the letter "K" (short) is added. There are, for example, a bus route number 709, the next from the Metro station "Orekhovo" to the metro station "Kashirskaya", and is No. 709k, which from the Metro "Orekhovo" goes to the Mosmvorette platform.

There is no special system for the numbering of transport in Moscow - this is a wild mix between the numbers of the eldest routes, Stalin, Brezhnevsky and the 1990s. They all lay down on each other.

There are also routes, in the designation of which letters use. This may be a consequence of the fact that once the path of transport was divided into two parts. It still happens that the route branches: transport follows the route, and then its option, to the numbering of which the letter A is added to the right. The option without such a letter continues to follow directly. All this, of course, causes confusion. City navigation is absolutely not convenient to the user. If a person does not specialize in this topic, he is unlikely to know about any routes, except for those that he needed.

In Soviet times, regularly carried out work on optimizing the system of urban transport. In the 90s, they stopped engaged in this, and now attempts are renewed. 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 relevance: for example, there was a bus that drove people to the plant. The company was closed, and people stopped ride there, the route continues to function. Does it need a city? But, unfortunately, until these works led to a positive result.
