Moscow: The educational project for young passengers, titled “Mobile Educational Laboratory,” has been relaunched in an expanded format to educate children about fare payment rules and appropriate behavior in urban ground transport.
In 2025, nearly one thousand children and their parents participated in the program with the support of the Transport Organizer, Mosgortrans, and Moscow Transport. The first session featured an interactive lesson conducted inside a modern electric bus, where ticket inspectors and the driver explained essential safety guidelines, traffic rules, and the importance of paying fares in public transport.
As part of the program, children learned about safe conduct on transport routes and correct passenger behavior. The event concluded with young participants taking photographs with the ground transport mascot, Electrobusik, and receiving gifts, including exclusive Troika cards and reflective wristbands.
According to organizers, the project will be further expanded in 2026. Plans include engaging more representatives from the transport sector and introducing classroom-based sessions in the form of quizzes to enhance learning outcomes for primary school students.
The initiative aims to improve children’s safety and foster a culture of responsible fare payment in Moscow’s public transport system.
Commenting on the project, Maxim Liksutov stated:
“On the instruction of Sergey Sobyanin, special attention is given to the safety of children in urban transport. In 2025, inspectors from the State Public Institution ‘Transport Organizer’ conducted more than 15 educational sessions for young passengers in Moscow schools and parks. Due to the project’s popularity, it is being relaunched in a new and expanded format.”
