Maksim Liksutov said that next year updated equipment for passage will be installed at 25 metro stations.
Main advantages:
- The new turnstiles were designed and manufactured in Moscow.
- The readers were placed intuitively so that the trip can be paid for almost instantly.
- All turnstiles are connected to biometric payment, and face recognition cameras are organically integrated into the design.
- Color lighting will show whether the fare payment was successful, and vibration feedback will help visually impaired passengers better understand the transaction status.
“According to the task set by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, by the end of 2031, more than 4,500 new generation turnstiles will be installed at metro, MCC, and MCD stations. The ergonomic design will allow for the most efficient use of vestibule space. The updated equipment will increase station throughput by 40%. Thanks to Russian microelectronics, the new turnstiles will operate even faster. This will increase the speed of passenger passage,” added Maksim Liksutov.
