Launch of New Route 7m in Omsk Announced
The City Hall of Omsk has announced the launch of a new trolleybus route, No. 7m, which will provide residents of Kuzminki and Topolinny microdistricts with a stable public transport connection to the city centre via the Leningrad Bridge. Scheduled to begin service on September 1, 2025, this route is expected to significantly ease passenger congestion on parallel routes, especially on routes 7 and 9.
Route No. 7m will run along Krupskaya Street and cross the Leningrad Bridge. It is planned to operate with a frequency of approximately every 10 minutes during peak hours and every 15-20 minutes during off-peak times. This new route is anticipated to improve passenger flow during morning and evening rush hours, reducing overcrowding and improving overall transit efficiency in the affected corridors.
During weekdays, 10 trolleybuses will operate on the updated route of No. 7m, while on weekends and holidays, 8 trolleybuses will be in service. The route has been completed without any issues, and it includes a new contact network segment.
Meanwhile, the tender for the design of a flyover at the metro bridge in Omsk is open to qualified design companies. The total cost of the tender is 10.9 million rubles, and it is related to public infrastructure development. The winner of the tender will be responsible for the entire design process. The flyover at the metro bridge is a part of ongoing city development projects and is expected to improve traffic flow and public transportation in the city.
The updated trolleybus route No. 7m and the flyover at the metro bridge are separate projects, with the trolleybus route providing a much-needed transportation solution for the residents of Kuzminki and Topolinny microdistricts, while the flyover aims to enhance the overall traffic and public transportation system in the city. For more detailed schedules and updates, it is recommended to check the local transit authority’s announcements closer to the launch date.
