Bus
Bus:
this is the most popular and most widely spread type of transport in Moscow after the underground (Metro). The first buses appeared in Moscow before Lenin’s revolution, and now 18 bus depots supply about one thousand of different routes. Modern, comfortable buses will not only deliver you to any place in the city but also to outer lying suburbs. You can choose the necessary route on the following web-site for local bus routes:

This website is innovative in that you can type in the origin point and destination, and it will indicate which bus line(s) one should take to get there. Many buses, especially in outer lying districts and along the highways, go express with stops on request.
Like the Metro, bus rides start at RUB 30 for one ride, RUB 60 for two rides, RUB 300 for 11 rides, and RUB 1,200 for 60 rides. Of course, for those who plan on using the Metro frequently, there are unlimited ride smart cards, starting at RUB 200 (one day), RUB 2,200 (30 days), and RUB 5,200 (90 days).
Tickets for local buses can be bought, like tram and trolleybus tickets, in booklets of ten from kiosks and metro stations. Bus stops are designated by a sign marked with an ‘A’ (for avtobus), and buses are supposed to run from 06.00 to 01.00. As traffic in the center of Moscow can be extremely heavy, buses are only really useful when traveling further from the centre.
