Public transport in Moscow in 2026 remains highly efficient and affordable. A single ride on the Metro, bus, or tram typically costs between 60 and 75 rubles (roughly $0.65–$0.80 USD) when using the "Troika" smart card. For frequent travelers, the best value is found in daily or monthly passes: a 1-day "Ediniy" pass costs approximately 415 rubles, while a 3-day pass is roughly 800 rubles. In 2026, Moscow has fully integrated its "Face Pay" biometric system and contactless bank card payments at all turnstiles, though these methods are often slightly more expensive than using the Troika card's "Wallet" balance. The Moscow Central Circle (MCC) and the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) offer free transfers to the Metro within 90 minutes of the first validation, making it possible to cross the entire city for a single flat fare. For visitors, the system is designed to be completely cashless, so having a digital payment method or a pre-loaded Troika card is essential for navigating the city's extensive transit network.
