Russia Launches World’s Longest Urban Tram Line

Moscow has launched the world’s longest urban tram line, marking a significant expansion of its public transportation network.

Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced the opening of the new “T2” line, which spans 33 kilometers and connects the southern and eastern parts of the Russian capital.

The route runs from Chertanovskaya station in southern Moscow to Novogireevo station on the Moscow Central Diameters Line 4 (MCD-4). It passes through 13 residential districts and is expected to serve more than two million residents.

The line includes 79 stops, with a full end-to-end journey taking over two hours.

Officials say the project will improve connectivity across key urban areas, ease congestion, and strengthen Moscow’s long-term transport infrastructure.
