Just four years ago, residents of Moscow’s Ramenki and Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye districts in the southwestern part of the city relied solely on surface transport and Metro Lines 8 and 8A. The situation changed dramatically with the opening of the twin Aminyevskaya stations on the Big Circle Line (BCL) and the MCD-4 commuter rail line. These transport hubs have not only significantly improved mobility but also triggered large-scale urban development in the area.
Today, over 272,000 residents enjoy fast and comfortable transit options within walking distance of their homes. In just four years, daily ridership on MCD-4 in this area has grown more than 23-fold.
According to the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development, the stations have also given a strong boost to the local economy: by 2025, total revenue of businesses and entrepreneurs located within a 1.5 kilometer radius of the Aminyevskaya stations (BCL and MCD-4) had risen by 54% in real terms compared to 2021.
The arrival of new transport infrastructure has also accelerated residential construction: over 600,000 square meters of housing have been completed near the stations since their launch. An additional 300,000+ square meters are planned for completion within the next three years.
Currently, Aminyevskaya MCD-4 operates as a full-fledged urban railway hub, with 17,300 trips originating from the station daily. The BCL station handles even higher traffic—approximately 42,000 trips per day.
“Transport accessibility is one of the key factors when choosing housing. On the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, we continue to expand and enhance the city’s rail network. The opening of the Aminyevskaya stations on MCD-4 and the Big Circle Line was a pivotal step: housing construction is now booming in the area, and the local population has grown to 278,000 residents. We clearly see how in-demand these transport solutions are,” said Maksim Liksutov.
