"The challenge for a tram conductor was to pass an examination in good knowledge of Moscow. One had to know all Moscow squares, streets and lanes, all theatres, railway stations, churches and markets. Not only was he supposed to know their names, but to also be able to explain how to get there. Only Moscow coachmen could compete with tram conductors in this matter. The brilliant knowledge of Moscow is the basis of a tram conductor`s work. A tram conductor is not just a living check-taking device, but a guide through Moscow. The city is enormous. Even locals don’t know it fully. Imagine the confusion of an alien, if no one helps him to figure out this network of dead ends, outposts and churches". This is an extract from the "Book about Life" written by Konstantin Paustovskiy. Starting 1912 he worked as a tram driver and conductor right here, in Miusskoye former tram depot.
