Yes, you're not mistaken - electric river trams really do operate in Moscow! They were launched on June 20, 2023, at the North River Terminal. The first regular route connected Kievskaya Station with the "Heart of the Capital" pier. Its length is 6.5 kilometers, with trams running at 20-minute intervals. Before the 1917 revolution, there was no regular passenger movement on the Moscow River. However, since 1887, a weekend and holiday city steamship service was opened, serving passengers along the route from Bolotnaya Square to Dorogomilovo. The first river trams appeared in 1923: small boats that accommodated between 40 and 100 passengers. Before the war, popular routes included the Stone Bridge to Zaozerye and from Dorogomilovsky Bridge to the AMO plant. During the Soviet era, one of the most famous tourist routes was the "Moscow Circuit": from the South River Terminal to the Oka River, Nizhny Novgorod, the Volga River, the Moscow Canal, and back to the North River Terminal. Today, navigation on the city's main water artery continues from mid-April to mid-November. It is frequented not only by tourist ferries but also by private vessels. According to the "Rules for the Use of Water Bodies for Navigation on Small Vessels in the City of Moscow," kayaks, motorboats, and yachts are allowed to navigate the Moscow River any day of the week, except official holidays. However, jet skis are not permitted on the capital's main river. A small vessel on a navigable river can only move forward; anchoring is not allowed. The boat captain must have documents for operating river transport, adhere to the speed limits, have onboard life-saving and firefighting equipment, and comply with passenger transportation rules. The vessel must be registered with the state inspection for small boats. The owner receives a navigation ticket after the vessel is inspected by an agency specialist. River transport must undergo an annual technical inspection. To "travel" on the Moscow River, you also need to obtain a watercraft operator's license. This requires completing a month-long course at the GIMS MChS school. River trams serve both an entertainment and a public transport function. They are equipped with phone chargers, toilets, and water coolers with free water. Like regular trams, their movements can be tracked using the "Moscow Transport" app. Making the Moscow River a full replacement for ground transport will take time. Changes to the city's infrastructure are necessary. In particular, more accessible piers need to be constructed. Additionally, fast navigation on the Moscow River is hindered by locks located in the city center, which prevent crossing the river without stops, and locking takes an average of 30 minutes. City authorities intend to make rational use of the capital's water resources. Thus, a water metro, covered bike paths, floating parking lots, and piers with hotels and restaurants might appear on the Moscow River.
