The Moscow Metro is the first and largest underground railway system in the Soviet Union and Russia. The first stage of its construction was completed on 15 May 1935. Its first line connected Sokolniki to Park Kultury, branching from Okhotny Ryad to Smolenskaya, with a total length of 11.2km.
Today, the Moscow Metro accounts for about 56% of the capital’s public transport passenger traffic. The average trip is about 14.5km long. On average, 9 million passengers travel by metro on weekdays. Every day more than 12 thousand trains navigate 15 metro lines (including the Moscow Central Ring (MCC) and the Moscow Monorail) with 275 stations (238 metro stations, 31 MCC stations, and 6 monorail stations). For 25% of metro stations, daily passenger traffic exceeds 50 thousand passengers. The average operating speed of Moscow Metro trains (with stops taken into account) is about 41.61 km/h. In addition, the timetable is followed effectively, with a minimum interval of 90 seconds.
The Moscow Metro is consistently ranked 1st in the world in terms of reliability, as well as passenger traffic intensity and volumes. It is among the top three of the world’s metro systems by almost all other indicators.
