However, the presence in Moscow by the beginning of the 20th century horse-railways hindered the development of tram lines.

When, in 1903, came a period of redemption horse-drawn railway the second Belgian joint stock company, the Duma is not solved, as, according to N. I. Astrov: "In Russia we have not experienced builders and engineers".

As soon as the life in the town had returned to normal, Nikolai Ivanovich ordered to proceed with the laying of tram tracks.

18 May 1910 the city council on the proposal of N. I. Guchkov made a decision about carrying out in 1912 in Moscow, the congress of tram companies.

To the 1910 years the dense network of lines was observed in the western part of the centre with the formation of arcs on the Garden and Boulevard rings.

The apogee of Moscow's tram network was in the early 1930s, when it served both rings (the Boulevard and the Garden) and all connecting streets, gas lines[clarify] were laid and on the outskirts.

More radical changes took place in the 1940s, when trams were replaced by trolleybuses in the western part of the Boulevard Ring and removed from the Kremlin.

With the development of the metro in the 1950s some of the lines leading to the suburbs were closed, and the carriage of freight ceased.

In the 1960s and 1970s, tram lines were finally eliminated in the western part of the city and from the Garden Ring.

However, new lines were laid in areas that were not served by the metro: Medvedkovo, Chertanovo, Perovo and Novogireevo.

In 1995, the company closed the line on Mira Avenue, then at the Nizhnyaya Maslovka due to the construction of the 3rd ring road.

As of 2021, Moscow has introduced open gangway trams beginning with service in the north-west of the city.

These trains accommodate 110 passengers and have 18% more seats than those of the previous generation, as well as USB ports and media screens.
