The first unmanned tram route will appear in Moscow.
By the end of 2026, all six cars on route No. 10 from Kulakova Street to Shchukinskaya metro station will switch to driverless operation. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow Maxim Liksutov.
"Each working day, passengers make about 4,500 trips on route 10. Unmanned technologies have huge potential for travel safety and schedule accuracy," he noted.
On this route, the world's first unmanned streetcar with passengers was launched in September 2025. During the operation and trials, it traveled more than 72 thousand kilometers, the passengers made more than 170 thousand trips in it.
By 2030, about two-thirds of Moscow's tram fleet is planned to be unmanned, and by 2035 - 90%.
