Moskvichmag reported that Moscow has built a second building for the Unified Dispatching Center “Moskovskiy Transport”. The new structure will become the core of the city’s entire ground and river transport network, handling everything from buses to river vessels.

The first building of the complex opened in 2019. After the second tower is commissioned the entire system will be the largest modern unified dispatching center in Europe, controlling all municipal transport in a single control room. In total around 1,300 specialists will work across the two sites.

According to experts, the new hub will let dispatchers coordinate routes in real time, react instantly to incidents and balance load across modes. The integration of data from buses, trams, metro, river boats and even ride‑hailing services will cut response times and improve safety for passengers and pedestrians.

The facility will manage more than 900 routes, over 6,500 buses and electric buses, about 6,900 metro cars, roughly 600 trams (including a handful of unmanned vehicles), over 250 MCX cars, about 4,300 MCD cars, more than 190 river crafts, around 200,000 taxis, 40,000 car‑sharing vehicles, about 90,000 scooters and 125,000 delivery couriers. All of these services will be synchronized from a single operational dashboard.

Residents and transport advocates praised the project, saying it should simplify commuting and reduce bottlenecks. Some commuters noted that better coordination could mean fewer delays, while critics pointed to the hefty investment, asking whether the focus should also include expanding cycling infrastructure and pedestrian zones.
