Abelmanovskaya Street connects Abelmanovskaya Zastava Square and Krestyanskaya Zastava Square. The endless traffic flows have made this district a very unpleasant place to dwell, but a tram is very popular here.

A crossing of Abelmanovskaya Street and Marxistskaya Street. Once there was a tramline here along Marxistskaya Street, but it was closed in 1972.

A tram loop in the boulevard. This terminus was constructed some years ago and replaced the one closed during a construction of Krestyanskaya Zastava metro station. The loop near the metro entrance was restored in September 2000, while the loop in the boulevard would suffer an "inversion". While initially it was used for reversing of southbound trams, now it looks the opposite way and serves the northbound trams of route 46 terminating here.

Krestyanskaya Zastava Square; look at these dark-red air tubes of the Metro. The tram loop was restored around the lawn a few weeks after the photo had been taken.

The tramstop near Proletarskaya metro station in the hot summer of 1997. Today the spot looks a bit more like a relatively modern stop with shelters, but still crowded.
