Mostransavto

Mostransavto (Russian: Мострансавто) is a formerly state-owned, joint-stock company operating bus transit within the Moscow Oblast. It has a daily throughput of 2.3 million passengers. Currently, it oversees up to 4000 buses, 1209 different routes, and 44 bus terminals and terminal stations.

In 2019, Mostransavto was reorganised from a state-owned enterprise into a joint-stock company, completely owned by the Government of Moscow Oblast.

On August 11, 1924, a plenary meeting of the Moscow City Council Presidium was held, at which it was decided to begin organizing suburban bus services in stages, followed by transport services for industrial cities in the Moscow province. The first buses in the Moscow region appeared on the streets of Serpukhov, Kolomna, Orekhovo-Zuyev, Podolsk, Noginsk and some other cities in 1925-1926. Since that time, Mostransauto has been counting down its age.

The petal board is a checkpoint for bus drivers at the terminal. It was used in the 1990s

In 1992, Mostransauto transferred from state ownership to regional ownership; financial support was reduced. Previously, 12% of the rolling stock was renewed during the year and about the same number underwent major repairs, but after perestroika, the number of new buses decreased sharply, and buses were no longer repaired at specialized factories, but in workshops at enterprises. The financial situation of Mostransauto has also changed, as in addition to the state-owned carrier, a large number of private carriers have appeared.

To overcome the crisis, Mostransauto enterprises entered the commercial transportation market (almost 1,000 Gazelle minibuses were leased for this purpose), and long-distance routes appeared, mostly parallel to the main railway routes.

Since 1993, used foreign-made buses, mainly Ikarus, Mercedes-Benz and MAN brands, have been purchased. In the early 2000s, a large batch of Israeli Haargaz buses arrived on a Mercedes-Benz O303 chassis to serve intercity routes.

The year 2001 was a turning point for Mostransauto. Mostransauto enterprises have received large shipments of new buses. Among other things, the construction and reconstruction of bus terminals and bus stations began. In recent years, convenient train stations have been built in Sergiev Posad, Chekhov, Klin, Lukhovitsy, Silver Ponds, Domodedovo, Yegoryevsk, Voskresensk, Kolomna and other cities of the Moscow region. Other programs (including production automation) began to be developed, ultimately aimed at improving the quality of passenger transportation.
