Motorist’s Day in Russia

October 25 · Level 7 · #691 of 2238

Motorist’s Day in Russia recognises the people who keep passengers and goods moving. Transport workers are at its heart, although everyday greetings also extend to friends and relatives who drive their own cars.

How it is celebrated: transport companies thank staff, present awards and hold workplace gatherings. Drivers receive congratulations from colleagues and passengers, while car enthusiasts swap stories about vehicles and journeys.

The familiar name hides a wider scope: the professional observance covers road transport and urban passenger transport workers. That brings tram and trolleybus staff into the celebration too.
