In 2010, there were 16 overloaded sections of the metro. During rush hours, hundreds of passengers accumulated at stations, unable to board the first arriving train. They had to wait for the 3rd or even 4th train.
Today, the situation has changed dramatically: 1) passengers can board the first arriving train; 2) 90% of Moscow residents have metro stations within walking distance.
This was achieved thanks to the systematic work and effective implementation of the Moscow Transport Complex development strategy:
πΉ Construction of new lines: 120 metro and MCC stations have been opened since 2010.
πΉ Rolling stock upgrade: more than 77% of trains are of the latest generation.
πΉ Infrastructure modernization and automation: the Moscow metro occupies a leading position in the world in terms of schedule accuracy and traffic intensity.
This year, the Moscow Metro celebrated its 90th anniversary. Since 2010, as part of the Transport Complex development strategy, under the leadership of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, large-scale work has been carried out to modernize, technically equip and update the rolling stock. Today, there are no overloaded sections in the capital’s metro, the stations have become freer, and the level of comfort and safety for passengers is one of the highest in the world, – said Maxim Liksutov.
