The Novokosinsky bus and trolleybus fleet of the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans occupies one of the most important places in providing the capital with public transport. It was formed as a result of the merger of several separate equipment parks. Due to this, its service area has increased significantly. It serves public transport routes throughout the city. Currently, the park is part of a large branch of Vostochny.
Company History
The Vostochny branch is the second largest branch in the city. Moscow trolleybus fleet began to be built in the spring of 1997. Initially, a capacity of one and a half hundred units of transport was planned. The first few years, construction was extremely slow. Only ten percent of the total work was completed in four years.
In the second half of 2000, funding began. Construction continued at a faster pace. Already in the first half of next year began to build a second floor. And by the last days of 2005, the park was opened. And they called it the Novokosinskaya site of the second trolleybus fleet. Until mid-2009, only the Moscow trolleybus on route No. 77 and buses were serviced in this section. At this time, five more trolleybus routes were transferred here.
In February 2014, the Novokosinsky section became part of the Fourth Bus Depot. All equipment was gradually transferred to Novokosino, and not vice versa. Therefore, in May of the following year, it was decided to rename the site into the Novokosinsky trolley-bus fleet. In August 2016, several city parks, including Novokosinsky, merged into one. So the Vostochny branch was formed.
Branch structure
The Novokosinsky bus and trolleybus fleet is currently part of the Vostochny branch. It combines two types of transport: buses and trolleybuses.
The park was formed on August 01, 2016 as a result of the merger of several branches:
- Trolleybus fleet 2nd.
- The ninth trolleybus park.
- The second bus fleet.
- The fourth bus fleet.
- Tenth bus fleet.
Plots
Today, the Novokosinsky bus and trolleybus fleet includes the following sections:
- The production site, formerly the Second Bus Depot. This site was built in 1941. During the war, the park served military purposes. Passengers were not served. Only at the end of the war, in 1945, the work of the Second Bus Depot began. To date, the site serves fifty routes in the central, eastern and southeastern districts. The company has 350 buses on its balance sheet.
- The site, formerly the Fourth Bus Depot, was opened at the end of 1948 in the territory of the former garage. The building is an avant-garde architectural monument. Two years ago this section received a different name - Novokosinsky bus and trolleybus park. Currently, it is an “Eastern” branch.
- The site of the former Tenth bus depot. The building was built in the second half of the sixties. It was planned to serve four hundred buses there. Operation began in late 1970. Forty routes operate to date. They run 280 buses that can carry up to two hundred thousand people a day.
