What are trolleybus fleets? This is the depot in which all the transport vehicles stand. It also carries out repairs and scheduled inspections. Moscow is a large and densely populated city. Accordingly, a large number of trolley buses run through the streets of the capital. The movement of this vehicle was opened on November 15, 1933. Today, there are more than eight depots in the city; we will consider some of them in the article.
Trolleybus fleet number 1
The transport organization is a branch of Mosgortrans. It was opened in 1935. At that time, the park had at its disposal 61 cars. By 2015, this figure increased to 222 units. Like some other trolleybus parks, it was closed as an independent depot (August 2016). This is done in order to attach it to the FATP.
Second depot
In 1937, the second trolleybus fleet was opened (its other name is Novokosinsky). It consists of 138 cars. They operate on 10 routes that combine several areas of the city. Like other trolleybus parks in Moscow, this organization uses vehicles, usually domestic. By the way, earlier the number of flights was much larger. However, in 2014, some routes were transferred to the fourth bus depot. Therefore, their numbers declined sharply.
Trolleybus depot No. 4
The fourth park has a closed status. He has been working since 1955. The decision to stop work was made in 2014. Like other trolleybus parks, he laid his routes through the Central and Northern districts of Moscow. April 11, 2014 the last time trolleybuses of this depot went on their flights. After they were distributed in other parks. The fate of the building is still unknown. Perhaps it will house a museum of passenger transport.
Park №5
Trolleybus parks, as a rule, do not change their location. However, depot number five, opened in 1958, moved. It should be noted that the park in the old territory was closed in 2003. On the new, it was opened only five years later (2009). The true causes of such delays are unknown. Nowadays, the park serves eight routes. Rolling stocks in it - 150 units.
