Izhevsk public transportation

Until the beginning of the XXth century there was practically no public transportation in Izhevsk, but steamship communication across the pond.

The autobus became the first type of public transport in the town, the tram appeared after it, and lately the trolleybus offered its service to the citizens of Izhevsk.

Nowadays, Izhevsk has a highly developed system of public transportation. Electric transport holds the first position when the total volume of public transportation is concerned: 52% of passengers use this type of transport (23% prefer trams and 29% - trolleybuses). The bus is also very popular among people. 48% of passengers frequently use its service. Moreover, 150 000 passengers per year enjoy benefits of water transportation.

Speaking about the total statistics, more that 250 million of people a year and about 700 thousand passengers a day are transported by all types of municipal public transport.

Besides that, citizens and guests of Izhevsk have railway and airline transport at their disposal.
