Russian metro is literally a spider’s web. So fascinating and underrated engineering.

The map of the Moscow metro system is a masterpiece of art + engineering.

I’ve played metro 2033 back in the day and it was a blast. It was my only encounter with the famous metro

Dude: Moscow subway is so deep
Me: *laughing in Saint-Petersburgish*

[lttdfst]

And the Moscow metro perfectly protects against radiation and mutants! Hello from 2033!

Also, Moscow Metro is one of the biggest nuclear-war shelters. All stations have big heavy doors, that seal metro from outside air. In case of nuclear launch, any citizen of Moscow have about 5-10 minutes to reach closest station and seek for cover. After that - doors are sealed.

Moscow’s metro is the world’s first metro that reduced the time interval between train arrivals to 80 sec. and a huge difference between this metro system and others is that all the trains on the lane are attached to it so every train passing by is suitable for the passenger. Free WiFi is available everywhere in metro however chargers for phones on each seat are only in modern trains. Besides, u can call support, medical aid or contact the driver with a button inside every car + all metro system uses surveillance cameras with facial recognition so the number of crimes is extremely low there. I love it so much ❤❤❤

Yes, it’s clean and on time. Living in California I can say the metro in Moscow is amazing and the one here is 😳🤬🥶

The doors aren't a part of metro 2. There is dining and resting rooms for stations workers, toilets for them and hatchs for communications. I have been in some of that "secret places", then I had a heatstroke. The station workers brang me into the room and they waited a doctor with me. These rooms are not very nice and clean, but there is everything you need for emergency care, as well as to wash or relax. Station workers said that if someone feels bad during rush hour, they always take them to these quiet rooms. :)

By the way, it is worth noting that the fare in the Moscow metro is always the same regardless of whether you have traveled 2 kilometers or 30 kilometers

The Moscow Train system is what the German Train system claims to be haha

Western Media: Russia is collapsing 😅 yeah yeah

You could also add: the ability to pass through face ID, absolute cleanliness, no rats, an amazing smell (this is creosote in my opinion), the availability of the most modern trains in the world, cheapness, ease of navigation (all trains move only in one direction), very high security. Those doors that you showed are the doors to technical rooms and possibly to shelters.

Lived in moscow for 8 years, and I never thought that other countries didn’t have that until i moved to the us

Hey! Moscow metro worker here, the trains have those intervals because we have 2 clocks and 1 timetable. The timetable is written up to a second, but if the line is out of the timetable interval clock are used. On the timetable that is given to the driver not just the regular arrive and departure time, but also his interval with the train in front up to seconds. In a pick hour it is 1 min 30 sec; in the normal hours it is 2 min 40 sec; and if the line is not crowded it can be from 3 to 5 min.
