The season 2016 will be like a trial version, the project appears in the full version in 2017. In the second stage frequency excursions will be increased to 3-4 times a day, and a multilingual audioguide will appear.

The route includes 15 stops: 8 Marta Street near the metro station Square of 1905 year (starting point) - Plotinka - Opera House - House of Professionals of Gospromural - Ural Federal University (the main building on Mira Street) - Ascension Hill - Church on the Spilled Blood - railway station - Yeltsin Center - Square of 1905 year - House of offices (Dom Kontor) - DOSAAF - Business Center Vysotsky - Zheleznov house - Royal bridge - merchants' houses on 8 Marta street - metro station Square of 1905 year.
