Harry Potter on the bus and James Bond on the tube: What public transport would famous movie characters use?

Agree, sometimes, while watching the next blockbuster or TV series, every now and then the thought arises to sneak onto the screen and ask the characters a simple question: “Why did you do this?” Most often, such a desire arises when watching horror films, where the main character, instead of going outside, runs to the second floor or basement. Okay, it’s not easy to get used to plot holes, but if possible, we can’t close our eyes to the choice of transport either. We don’t undertake to make decisions for others, but we want to put forward our own theory: Batman didn’t need to invent an invisible car, and Marty McFly didn’t need to make a dubious friendship with Doc and return to the future. If only they had access to public transport in Moscow.

The statement is serious, but justified. It is difficult (if not impossible) to find transport infrastructure, as in the capital. The numbers speak for themselves: more than 14 million people use public transport in Moscow every day. And there are as many types of transport as your imagination can handle: from the metro, MCC and MCD to trams, electric buses and ordinary river buses (for complete happiness, all you need to do is master teleportation). Of course, public transport is indispensable in such a large metropolis, especially since there are stops and stations almost everywhere, while comfortable cars with built-in chargers and air conditioning give an advantage to taxis. Separately, we would like to note the affordable fare, and also mention the new payment method.

Once again you can get on and off all Moscow transport 15 rubles cashback via payment QR code via Fast Payment System (FPS). This innovation has already been implemented in all metro and MCC turnstiles, as well as in all land and regular river transport. The rules for getting cashback are simple. The first thing you need to do is check your registration in the loyalty program on the website. vamprivet.ru or in mobile application “Hello!”

For access to the metro, MCC and river transport:

The payment schedule for ground transportation charges is slightly different.

The offer is valid until December 31, 2024. More information about the terms of the promotion can be found on the vamprivet.ru website or in the “Hello!” mobile application.

While you’re taking advantage and getting on with the job, we at the editorial office decided to get creative, pick a few iconic movie characters and think about what land, underground and river transportation they might use.

We decided to introduce James Bond, a famous lover of expensive cars and adventures, to public transport for the first time and send him to the metro. Since a secret agent needs to move quickly and silently around the city, the Moscow metro will be his indispensable assistant. Stations located almost everywhere in the city will help him get to his destination without using a navigator and avoiding Moscow traffic jams, and will not interfere with escaping pursuit by cars.

In addition, even in a tuxedo, you can easily get lost in the subway. True, you will have to go through the transitions a little, but we think that this is not a problem for a trained professional. In order not to waste time searching for the Troika, the QR code in the Moscow Metro application can be displayed as a widget on the main screen of the smartphone and can be generated or scanned with one click.

We decided to introduce the Mother of Dragons to the MCC. Partly because they wanted to see a spin-off of “Game of Thrones” where Daenerys roams around Moscow, and also because the modern “Swallow” resembles a dragon in terms of speed and silence (after all, something from the original must remain). Also, the subway cars are equipped in such a way that not only Burebornaya, but also many of her subjects can sit comfortably on the seats, and horses can be placed in place of bicycles.

If you watched the movies, you probably remember that the young magician is not in a very good condition not only in transportation, but also in general in his movements. Either the bus rushes between trucks at incredible speed, or the fireplace throws you in the wrong place. Therefore, we send him for a ride on an electric bus, which will quickly get to his destination, and there is also room for Bukli. Another advantage will be that the electric bus will not be taken away by the Whipping Willow. True, we do not know how much the magicians’ salaries are now, but thanks to the promotion, cashback for payments made through the SBP is returned to passengers online literally within a minute after the fare is paid, so we also provided for this point. .

Despite his gloomy appearance, distrust of people and tendency to bully his younger brother, we tend to think of Wednesday as a misunderstood teenager who is just learning to communicate with the world, to distinguish right from wrong and to build relationships with his parents. And we advise those with such a sensitive nature to look at trams, there is something romantic and distant about this type of transport. In the meantime, Wednesday will make plans to save the world, inspired by Moscow, his assistant Thing will be able to independently download the “Moscow Metro” application from Google Play or the App Store and pay for the trip with a QR code.

Carrie Bradshaw is the last but not least heroine who made an entire generation think that a newspaper columnist’s salary could afford an apartment in downtown New York and a collection of designer shoes. Let’s not delve too deeply into her not-so-healthy relationship with Mr. Big, but instead offer to take her on a water bus ride. We’re sure the view of the Moscow River will calm her nervous system and help her move on to more important matters than relationships.
