Calculate travel time between stations. Moscow Central Circle - metro station map
The opening of the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) took place on September 10, 2016. 31 stations are available for passengers. A RIAMO correspondent learned how to use a new type of urban transport.
On the launch day, 26 stations were put into operation: Okruzhnaya, Likhobory, Baltiyskaya, Streshnevo, Shelepikha, Khoroshevo, Delovoy Tsentr, Kutuzovskaya, Luzhniki, Gagarin Square ", "Crimean", "Upper Boilers", "Vladykino", "Botanical Garden", "Rostokino", "Belokamennaya", "Rokossovsky Boulevard", "Lokomotiv", "Entuziastov Highway", "Nizhegorodskaya", "Novokhokhlovskaya", “Ugreshskaya”, “Avtozavodskaya”, “ZIL”, as well as “Izmailovo” and “Andronovka”.
In 2018, the construction of warm crossings will be completed: it will be possible to make transfers without going outside. A total of 350 transfers will be available for passengers, so travel time should be reduced by 3 times.
Fare
To access the MCC station, you can use any Moscow metro pass (Troika, Ediny, 90 Minutes), as well as social cards. Within 90 minutes from the moment the ticket is validated, transition from the metro to the MCC and back is free. Payment for travel by bank cards is also provided.
MCC schemes
Three variants of MCC schemes have been developed for passengers. The first, in addition to the metro lines and MCC stations, indicates the stages of opening stations and transitions, the distance between transfer stations and the time it will take to transfer.
The second version of the diagram will help commuters find their way: the map shows railway stations, existing metro lines, as well as MCC stations and “warm” metro transfers.
The third diagram shows the stops of ground urban transport near the MCC stations, as well as the interval of its movement during rush hour. For example, from the Luzhniki platform of the MCC you can go to the Sportivnaya metro station in 2 minutes. Buses number 806, 64, 132 and 255 regularly run there, so getting to the right place will not be difficult.
In addition, the map shows all the main attractions of the city, forest parks and nature reserves. Many of them are within walking distance from the MCC, for example, Losiny Ostrov Park and the Vorobyovy Gory Nature Reserve.
Transplants
The MCC is integrated into the Moscow public transport system with the possibility of transfer to the metro, Moscow Railway trains and ground public transport.
From September 10, you can transfer from the MCC to the metro at 11 stations (“Business Center”, “Kutuzovskaya”, “Luzhniki”, “Lokomotiv”, “Gagarin Square”, “Vladykino”, “Botanical Garden”, “Rokossovsky Boulevard”, “ Voikovskaya”, “Shosse Entuziastov”, “Avtozavodskaya”), by train - on five (“Rostokino”, “Andronovka”, “Okruzhnaya”, “Business Center”, “Likhobory”).
By the end of 2016, the number of transfer hubs will increase to 14 and 6, respectively, and in 2018 there will be 17 transfers from the MCC to the metro and 10 to the train.
To make a free metro-MCC-metro transfer (within an interval of 90 minutes), you need to attach your metro travel document to the turnstile with a special yellow sticker at the entrance to the MCC station.
Passengers who are planning a trip only on the MCC or intend to make one metro transfer - MCC or vice versa, can apply their tickets to any turnstiles, including those without yellow stickers.
If you do not meet the 1.5 hour time limit, you will need to pay for the fare again when making a transfer.
Trains and intervals
New luxury trains “Lastochka”, with a capacity of 1200 people, run on the MCC. Their maximum speed is 160 kilometers per hour; they travel along the MCC at an average speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
The trains are equipped with air conditioning, dry closets, information panels, free Wi-Fi, sockets and bicycle racks.
The carriages open manually: to enter or exit, you need to press a special button installed on the doors. The buttons are active (green backlight) only after the train has stopped on the platform; at other times, the doors are locked for safety reasons.
During morning and evening rush hours, the traffic interval is only 6 minutes. The rest of the time you need to wait for “Swallow” from 10 to 15 minutes.
Updating (activating) travel cards
In order to access the MCC using “90 minutes”, “United” for 20, 40 and 60 trips, “Troika” tickets purchased or topped up before September 1, 2016, you need to renew them. To do this, you can contact the metro or monorail ticket office, as well as the metro passenger agency (Boyarsky Lane, 6) or the Moscow Transport service center (Staraya Basmannaya St., 20, building 1).
Holders of a Strelka card to travel by train must exchange it at the metro ticket office for a card with the Troika application.
Activation is carried out without changing the balance of trips and the validity period of the ticket, while the new reprogrammed travel documents will allow free transfers from the metro to the MCC and back.
You can also update your Troika electronic card yourself by topping up your balance at ticket machines at stations, on the website troika.mos.ru, via SMS or at payment terminals. As for social cards, their activation is not required.
Help and navigation
You can find out detailed information about updating tickets, transfer hubs and navigation on the MCC from consultants at the entrance to the ring metro stations or at metro stations adjacent to the MCC. Volunteers will also help passengers navigate the new transport. A special mobile application is also being developed, with which you can choose the optimal route.
Here you can see new convenient routes through the MCC.
So, I decided not to put this matter off, and yesterday, after work, I joined. I didn’t drive the full circle, I didn’t have time, but I mastered three quarters of it - from Vladykino to Izmailovo.
Well, what can I say? So far, it is obvious that this is a pure attraction, much like the Moscow monorail immediately after its opening, which was then officially operating “in excursion mode.” Only the monorail was paid, but the MCC was not, which is what the vast majority of its passengers use. But first things first.
What I liked: Electric trains! You can laugh at me, but yesterday I rode the Swallow for the first time. Very smooth acceleration and quiet, in terms of sound, movement. While driving, you can hear not the sound of traction engines, not the howl of gears, not the knock of compressors - but only the grinding of the wheel flanges on the rails in curves. Well, even at high speed you can feel the car wobbling. But, by and large, in comparison with those ER1 ED4M that we drive - heaven and earth. In general, comparing Siemens Desiro Rus and the crafts of the Demikhovsky plant is like comparing black sturgeon caviar with capelin caviar.
Navigation at the stations is fully present (although in some places the signs with the original names, which were changed during the construction process, have not been replaced). But, in general, everything is clear and intelligible:
Escalators work at all stations where I was - which is important, considering that the route of the Circular Railway, historically, is located on high embankments for almost its entire length.
What I didn't like: Everything on the MCC is still very, very raw. Fortunately, it will take at least two more months to finish it - but in our country, assault and show-off are at the forefront, so... Many stations have not completed the actual exits to the city - for me, for example, to get to the platform from Dmitrovsky highway, I had to walk past the Okruzhnaya platform, because the entrance to it is open only from the inside of the ring, and walk to the next station, Vladykino. There is a transition to the outside on Okruzhnaya, but it is not yet completed and is closed. The former “wild” crossing over the tracks was blocked with fences - however, citizens have already made holes in them... you have to cross the railway, but walk a kilometer around - no fools. The same thing happened at the exit - and I got out in Izmailovo: the direct access to the Partizanskaya metro station is still in the finishing stage, so citizens are forced to use the only exit towards Tkatskaya Street, and make a detour under the overpasses of the MK MZD and the fourth ring. Three hundred meters in a straight line, and six hundred along the existing route - there is a difference.
Secondly, as many have noted, there really are not enough informant announcements on which side the platform is to which the train arrives. On the MCC, the platforms are mostly coastal, but about a quarter are island ones. Until the train approaches the platform directly, it is not visible. As a result, those leaving rush from one side of the car to the other. Over time, of course, they will remember where everything is located and get used to it - just as they are already accustomed to pressing buttons on doors so that they open - but now this is noticeably lacking.
Third is the name. What means Moscow Central Circle? Where is the Moscow non-central ring located? There was a normal name - the Moscow Circular Railway, historical, and understandable to everyone: BMO is BMO, it is in the region, and Okruzhnaya is in Moscow. But no. EM TSE KA. The central committee of some EM. The combination of three consonants is terrible.
Well, the fourth thing I don’t like about the MCC - but this is my personal IMHO: the organization of a purely roundabout traffic. The MK MZD has connections with all radial railway lines of the Moscow hub, including those that do not have a through diametrical passage: Kazansky, Kievsky, Paveletsky and Yaroslavsky. Nothing prevents some trains from these directions from running not to their dead-end stations, but in transit through the ring to another radius. Part, not all - maybe one train out of five - ten. Especially considering the desire of the Moscow region authorities and Russian Railways to increase the number of suburban trains under the slogan of turning them into a kind of “light metro” (the term, in this case, is absolutely illiterate, but I will use it in relation to the situation). Yes, this will complicate scheduling and will force you to combine schedules in different directions - but nothing is impossible. After all, the New York subway has been operating on the same route pattern for many decades. Of course, someone will object to me that this is a utopia - my dears, ten years ago the very passenger traffic along the Small Ring was also considered a utopia. However...
Will they use: Definitely they will. First of all, those who work or live within walking distance of the ring stations. I myself, if I still lived on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, would absolutely use it - my home is located directly opposite the platform:
With transfer trips it is much more difficult - for now, on the MCC you can count convenient transfers on the fingers of one hand - "Leninsky Prospekt" - Gagarin Square, "Kutuzovskaya", "Vladykino", "Cherkizovskaya" - Lokomotiv - well, perhaps that's all. Transfers to trains and ground transport are even more difficult. Perhaps, when all this is brought in accordance with plans, passenger traffic will calm down. Again, it is convenient to use the ring for travel only if the route along it is a quarter, or maximum a third, of the length of the ring. If it is more, then it is much more convenient to drive in a straight line, especially since such an opportunity is almost always available. Well, now 80-90% of passengers are exclusively curious citizens. Including transport freaks - weirdos, loudly discussing the advantages and disadvantages of electric trains of the ES2G class compared to trains of the ET2M series, for example:) But someone has already fully appreciated the innovation and is using it directly - transport - purpose:
True, these are mostly young people, for whom seven miles before a transfer is not a detour :) Interestingly, I noticed that on the trains traveling along the inner side of the ring there are much more passengers than on those traveling on the outer side. Well, personally, the MCC is neither a village nor a city for me, at least at the present time.
About the views from the train window: Let's be objective: since the construction of the Circular Railway in 1908, it has been the center of attraction for industrial zones, which were built around it over the course of seventy (I repeat: SEVENTY) years. And overnight they, and the surrounding surroundings that accompany them, will not go anywhere, even though they try to bashfully cover them with fences:
No, I don’t argue that the railway also passes by some pretty beautiful places in Moscow: in Luzhniki, for example, this is the Novodevichy Convent, and the Luzhniki sports complex itself; in Izmailovo - the hotel complex of the same name, and the Izmailovo Fair, with its popular print Kremlin; post-war development in the Oktyabrsky Field area; there are beautiful views from the bridges across the Moscow River, the Belokamennaya station is generally located in the forest, and not just in the forest, but in the Losiny Ostrov National Natural Park; and some people like City skyscrapers:
But, in eighty percent of cases, the surrounding landscape from the window will look like this:
So if you love aesthetics fucking- industrial zones, garages, and multi-level transport interchanges - you will certainly enjoy a trip along the MCC. Just hurry up - with the current pace of Moscow urban development, they will soon, for the most part, be exhausted.
My impressions. Of course, I liked it more than I didn’t like it, judging on a five-point scale :) Just one thing - a ride on an electric train along the legendary Circular Railway, on which passenger trains have not run for more than eighty years - is worth a lot. Of course, the shoals are very noticeable. But there is no doubt that they will be corrected. The main thing is not to forget about the little things.
It’s good that the ring was not turned into a purely passenger ring, a complete analogue of the metro, as some radically minded comrades proposed: after all, the original purpose of the Circular Railway - to connect all Moscow railway radii - is a strategic thing, and should have remained untouched. Again, variety for railway fans ;)
More from what I noticed. The MCC has its own Moscow time:
Business Center station, with its vibrant green color:
The canopy over the platform is connected to the walls in such a way that when it rains, water will pour into the station. Is this how it was intended?
With me at the Kutuzovskaya station, two hard workers dragged, right across the tracks, some kind of hefty electrical box, and threw it onto the platform, in its narrowest place. A minute later, Swallow arrived on the same path, disembarking passengers who had to step over this box, or squeeze between it and the wall. That is, ensuring the safety of both workers and passengers on the MCC is, so far, in complete disarray. I would like to hope that this will not lead to serious consequences.
Something like that. Of course, I plan to drive along the MCC again, more thoughtfully, and during daylight hours. Otherwise in the dark you can’t see anything around at all :)
In the meantime, I voiced my first impressions of his visit. So all of the above is solely my personal subjective opinion.
Yes, and: a note for those who are in the know;) In my passport, in the “Place of birth” column it says “Moscow city”. And on my father’s side I am a third generation Muscovite;)
It is a railway ring laid along the outskirts of Moscow. In the diagram, the small ring of the Moscow Circle railway looks like a closed line. Construction of the ring was completed in 1908. Before 1934, the railway was used for freight and passenger transportation, and after 1934 - only for freight. It is a connecting link between ten federal railways departing from the city in all directions. Since September 2016, it has also been used for intracity passenger transportation related to the functioning of the Moscow Metro, which was reflected in the layout of the Moscow Ring Railway stations.
Modern reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Railway
From 2012 to 2016, the Moscow Ring Railway was adapted for domestic passenger transportation, which led to a significant change in the layout of the Moscow Ring Railway. The work was carried out with federal funds, as well as with funds from JSC Russian Railways, private companies and the Moscow government. During the reconstruction process, railway tracks were replaced with new ones, bridges were overhauled, electric train stopping points were built, and another track was laid for freight transportation. At the end of 2016, the work was almost completed.
A total of 31 stopping stations were reconstructed (the diagram of the Moscow Ring Railway with stations under construction is presented above). Each station had its own individual project and platforms were built.
Launch of the first electric trains
The first launch of an electric train in order to check the readiness of the railway was carried out in May 2016 on one of the sections of the Moscow Ring Railway, and in July 2016, after completion of construction, along the entire length of the railway. The main electric train running along the route was the ES2G Lastochka. Conventional Russian-made electric trains were also used. With their use, some problems arose related to the discrepancy between the width of cars and electric locomotives of classical models with the distance between the tracks and the platform on the Moscow Circle. As a result, the platform at Streshneva station even had to be shifted a little to the side.
The first passenger electric train passed along the line on September 10, 2016, after which passenger trains began to operate regularly. The movement of freight trains was reduced, especially during the daytime, when electric trains are actively running. The line is also used for the movement of individual long-distance trains that bypass Moscow. The movement of steam-powered excursion trains was stopped.
Infrastructure and layout of the Moscow Ring Railway
The railway ring of the Moscow Circle includes 2 main railway lines classified as electrified. There is another third railway track running along the north of the ring, which is used for freight transport. The total length of the railway ring is 54 km. Some sections of other tracks are still not electrified.
The Moscow Ring Railway scheme is designed in such a way that it has connecting branches that allow trains to be moved between the ring railway and the radial branches of the federal railway routes. They consist of either one or two tracks (see the MKR transfer diagram). Not all of them are equipped with feeding power lines. There are branches from the freight tracks of the railway ring to industrial production facilities. There is also one branch for communication with the tram depot.
In total, the MKR scheme has 31 operating platforms for domestic passenger transportation and 12 stations for freight purposes. There is 1 tunnel 900 m long.
Stations and platforms on the Moscow Ring Road map
The stations were founded in 1908 and were originally used to handle freight traffic. Between them there were separate stops.
In the inner part of the railway ring there are now unused classic stations with station-type buildings built at the beginning of the 20th century. Previously, the railway track running along them was used for passenger transport. Modern stations can be seen on the map of the Moscow Ring Railway with stations under construction.
On the outside of the Moscow Ring Railway, entrances for parking freight trains and buildings intended for railway work were built. All this is used to form freight trains.
In 2017, the total number of stations in use (see the diagram of MKR stations) was 12 units. Of these, 4 are located on sections of branches from the Moscow Ring Road. These include: Novoproletarskaya, Northern Post.
There are 31 stopping points for city electric trains on the railway ring. These stations are passenger platforms that were built between 2012 and 2016 during the modern reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Railway. Unlike stops belonging to the radial main lines of the railway, these have the status of intracity and are equipped accordingly. They operate as public transport stops with single tickets for them.
Bridges on the Moscow Ring Road
There are a total of 6 operating bridges, 4 of which cross the Moscow Circle. The Moscow Ring Railway also crosses 32 highways and railways.
Traffic along the Moscow Ring Road
At the moment, traffic on the Moscow Ring Railway is carried out by electric trains ES2G “Lastochka”. It consists of 5 modern passenger cars, and in the coupled version - of 10 cars. In the future, the use of other locomotives (domestic production) is not excluded.
Diesel locomotives are still mainly used for freight transportation. However, the main railway lines are now electrified and allow the use of electric locomotives for transit movement. Thanks to this, it is possible to move passenger and freight trains from one transit radial railway line to another.

See you;)
While we were driving around the Caucasus, Transcaucasia and Iran, a miracle happened in Moscow - traffic and all stations of the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) opened. Yesterday we drove a full circle on a new type of transport and were shocked to the core. Below the cut, read why the MCC is a real miracle.
We decided to start the inspection of the new type of transport from the station closest to us, Baltiyskaya, which can be reached by walking down the street from the Voikovskaya metro station.
We left the metro, followed the signs and crossed the road and got a little lost.
We look back, are we going exactly where we need to go? In Moscow, as a rule, there are pronounced flows of people moving to the stations, but here, it seems, people are rushing to go shopping at Metropolis :) How do you like the New Year tree at the shopping center?
It’s good that Pasha knows where the railway runs. We go straight without signs. By the way, it turns out later that the main path lies through the shopping center.
We reached a pedestrian bridge across the road. To get to the bridge, you need to enter the shopping center through one of the entrances, where a sign greets us.
This is not an exit from the shopping center, it is the most popular entrance to the bridge leading to the MCC station. There is another one, but it is located inconspicuously and almost no one walks through it. We don’t know how we managed to lobby for this, but the traffic flow of the shopping center should now increase significantly.
It's nice to walk along a new clean passage.
We go through the turnstiles to the station, holding the Troika card that we used in the metro to the reader. Our trip counts as a transfer, and the trip to the MCC will be free.
The Moscow railway ring has existed since the 19th century, and until the 30s of the 20th century it was used not only for freight, but also for passenger transportation. But then the metro appeared, and the project was abandoned. In those years, the word “metro” was still masculine.
Look at the photo, a girl with bare legs at minus 10. Where are the parents looking? Previously, they only took off their hats when leaving the house, but now they also roll up their pants.
While Pasha was looking at the diagram in the center of the station, a woman approached and tried to understand how far one of the MCC stations in the south was from the metro station.
The long-awaited Swallow is a Siemens train, created by the Germans at the request of Russian Railways and adapted to the requirements of our roads. Russians have been riding Lastochka for a long time in Sochi, Nizhny Novgorod and, since last year, in Tver.
According to our observations, quite a lot of people use the MCC even in the middle of a weekday.
It’s great that we managed to purchase such modern trains for urban public transport. The train is warm, light, Wi-Fi works, it’s clean and comfortable to sit in, and there’s even a toilet in the first and last cars. Well, what a miracle!
Lastochka is a class of urban transport comfort never seen before in Russia. The carriage has excellent sound insulation, which adds a “luxury” feel. The train doesn't move, it flies!
We drive mainly through industrial zones.
And this station is named after the street of the same name in the west of Moscow.
The display indicates not only the time and temperature, but also the speed of movement. In some sections, the Swallow accelerates to 100 km/h. We choose the MCC, and you stand there :)
There is even a shelf like this. What would it be used for? :)
We pass Moscow City and the Moscow River. Correct endings? :)
The design of the stations is mostly standard, all have a scoreboard and a rain roof. The downside: you have to wait outside for the train, and the interval varies from about ten minutes in the early morning, afternoon and late evening to three minutes during rush hours. Ten minutes in the cold is not everyone's cup of tea.
Metro map at the station from Lebedev Studio.
Approximately half of the MCC stations have surface passages to the nearest metro or railway stations. At Baltiyskaya, where we boarded, the transfer took about ten minutes. The transition from Luzhniki station to Sportivnaya metro station will take only a couple of minutes, passengers are in luck here.
The towers of the “Business Center” are visible in the distance in the haze. There is also a ring station there.
The train has arrived, let's move on. The first and last carriages are equipped with places for transporting bicycles. We’ve already figured out how we’ll go for a ride in Moscow parks in the summer: Izmailovsky Park and Sokolniki are located in pleasant proximity to the MCC stations.
In the area of the ZIL plant, a grand demolition of houses and the construction of new real estate are taking place.
It is very unusual to see a toilet on public transport in Moscow.
The inside of the toilet is no longer as fresh as it used to be, but it’s tolerable for now. We hope that the trains and stations will be constantly looked after, otherwise it will all get clogged up very quickly, literally and figuratively.
Toilet selfie from Lena. Our first report from Zlatoglavaya, by the way. We are thinking about what else to photograph in Moscow, write your recommendations.
We arrived at the Izmailovo station, decided to take a break and walk into the city. We leave the doors of the ring station.
Tickets can be bought from vending machines, just like in the subway.
We find ourselves in the station building, where there will soon be a shopping center.
Now the stores are closed, and this may continue for quite some time. Russian Railways has a talent for long-term construction; the installation of new pavilions at Leningradsky Station takes years.
The width of the escalator is such that only one person can fit in the width; you cannot run quickly on the left.
Entrance to the transition.
Russian realities: the hacks designed the passage in such a way that it would be impossible to open the outer door.
It’s cold in the passage, but it’s clear that heating the street is too expensive.
Nearby are the buildings of the Izmailovo Hotel and the Izmailovo Kremlin.
We come out of the passage, go straight, and there is some kind of homeless shopping center selling sausages in dough. Moscow, you are infinitely diverse :)
As an epilogue:
Never in our memory has a new type of transport been opened in Moscow (the monorail does not count). It will probably never open again; such miracles don’t happen very often.
We ourselves tried to come up with useful routes around Moscow for the MCC, but we couldn’t come up with anything other than transporting bikes to forest parks; all our routes will remain on the metro, minibuses and electric trains. We hope that Muscovites and guests of the capital will be able to adapt this type of transport to their needs, and this will at least slightly relieve the congestion on the Moscow metro and commuter trains.
What do you think about MCC?
Hello! This magazine will no longer be updated. If you are interested in our posts, please join us:
* On Instagram -
The Moscow Central Circle (MCC) will open to passengers in early September. Approximately September 10th. This was stated by the head of the Moscow Metro, Dmitry Pegov.
The MCC line received number 14 in the Moscow Metro. The ring consists of 31 stations, 17 of them are connected to the metro, 10 to radial railway lines. Transfers between metro stations and the MCC will take no more than 10-12 minutes. The shortest and most comfortable transfers will be in “warm” (not requiring going outside) crossings from the stations: Mezhdunarodnaya, Leninsky Prospekt, Cherkizovskaya, Vladykino, Kutuzovskaya.
The main advantage of the Moscow Central Circle is that it should relieve the “Koltsevaya” line by 15%, the “Sokolnicheskaya” line by 20%, and all stations.
ABOUT OPERATING MODE
Since the Moscow Central Circle is metro line 14, the operating hours will be identical - daily from 5.30 to 1.00.
ABOUT THE COST OF TRAVEL
A single ticket for 20 trips will cost 650 rubles, for 40 trips - 1,300 rubles, 60 trips - 1,570 rubles. At the same time, travel for Troika card users on the MCC will cost the same as on the metro - 32 rubles. It is worth emphasizing that the possibility of transferring from the metro to the MCC and back will be free of charge.
Transfers within 90 minutes from the moment you first enter the station are free. Reprogramming of turnstiles, cash registers, and ticket vending machines has now begun,” said Dmitry Pegov.
You can use the second free metro transfer from MCC platforms only with tickets purchased after September 1. Passengers who purchased tickets before this date will be able to exchange them for new ones, with the benefit of a free transfer. Otherwise, the additional trip will be charged. And the first 30,000 people who exchange tickets purchased before September 1 will receive gifts from the metro. There will be no need to exchange social cards.
ABOUT PAYMENT METHODS
Tickets can be purchased in the same way as for trips on the metro: at ticket offices, vending machines, or top up your Troika card via the Internet. It will also be possible to pay for travel by credit card. For this purpose, all stations are now equipped with machines for reading bank cards.
ABOUT PASSENGER SERVICES
The stations will introduce similar services that exist in the metro. Passengers with limited mobility will be able to benefit from free mobility assistance. The stations will have chargers for gadgets, trees, and benches. And also trash cans, which are not in the Moscow metro itself. “Live Communication” counters will appear at five stations, where tourists will also be able to obtain information in English. In particular, it is already being installed at the Luzhniki station.
ABOUT COMPOSITIONS
33 trains will be launched on the ring, which will have handrails for standing passengers. And just like on regular trains, there will be toilets. The interval between trains will be only 6 minutes.
THE YANDEX METRO APPLICATION WILL BE UPDATED
By the time the Moscow Central Circle launches, the map will be updated in the Yandex Metro application, which is used by many Muscovites.
We have already taken measurements so that people can plan their time on the trip. People will also be informed about temporary closures of stations, said Alexander Shulgin, CEO of Yandex in Russia.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?
Navigation is hosted;
The trains practice movement intervals;
Information boards are installed on the platforms;
They are creating comfortable ground transport routes connecting with stations of the new subway line.
INTERESTING TO KNOW
75 million passengers will be able to use the transportation in the first year, and by 2025 the number will increase to 350 million passengers annually;
The metro staff will increase by 800 people.
Online workload application
To implement this project, it is necessary to prepare the infrastructure to show this. But we have this in our plans. This will be a similar project to Yandex.Traffic. The Moscow Metro is working on the issue of providing Yandex with data on congestion. As soon as we are able to receive them, we will send them to Yandex, and they will be displayed in the application online,” said Dmitry Pegov, head of the metro.
