Note:
1. Station names changes are not reflected on the map. They are always shown as the current names.
2. Temporary station closures (e.g. Vorobyovy Gory closure and reopening after renovation) are not mentioned.
3. Opening and extensions are grouped as one event for each year (i.e. if a line extended from A → B, and B → C on the same year, it will be shown as it extended from A→C)
4. Transfer stations are counted multiple times for each line including cross-platform interchanges (exception of through service of Line 8A to Savyolovskaya)

It is insane how this video is so "outdated" after one year. The ring line is completed and two new sectors will appear before the end of this year

What a beautiful system. Thanks for posting!

Moscow metro stations are itself an tourist attraction.

I'm impressed by it, either in time of war or economic struggle, Muscovites had managed to expanded their Metro sytem.

[linusfotograf]

This was your best one yet. Beautiful and easy to follow graphics.

[MaxCheng]

I like the new style a lot, it’s clean and detailed

[pppphillip]

Surprisingly this system is very clear to watch in comparison to some other cities

[Xumgat]

Очень неплохо. Спасибо большое! Есть конечно неточности вроде отсутствия линий МЦД (D1, D2), а также того, что станции МЦК открылись не одновременно, как и участок Хорошоевская - Каховская, а в целом очень даже хорошо.

[ГеоргийМедведев-ья]

Есть неточность, Варшавская и Каховская местами перепутаны, в остальном здорово! Также было много переименований, особенно в 1991 году. Но тут все названия современные, и это очень наглядно. Хорошая работа!

Between the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk, we had some free time. - Let's build a little metro.

I've been waiting for Moscow for a while. Thanks for featuring the transit evolution of this magnificent megapolis!

[EGORIKTRAINS]

I was very pleased to see the metro of my city on this channel

[dimkawhammy]

Huge work, thanks a lot! I think that MCD should be added as it is showed on Moscow metro scheme

[Arashmickey]

-We've had one Moscow Metro yes, but what about Metro Two?
-I don't think he's heard about Metro Two, Artyom.
-D6? The Tagansky bunker? The Emerald City? The tunnels of the Great Worm?
-I don't think he's heard about those either.

I would suggest Budapest for the next video. It's not a huge system: it has 4 lines excluding commuter rail and 9 including it, although the commuter rail system is often considered part of the metro system. The Budapest system is the second oldest in the world (after London). The first line was built in 1896!

Edit: Excellent video btw, my favorite so far! The graphics were spot on. I was also really looking forward to Moscow ever since the London video was released.

Great design of the Moscow Metro line system. Love the rings around the lines branching out. This is very well thought out!

[rarerobloxmomenteverewigt.]

What a wonderful system.
Btw this is the new longest video. The previous longest video was the video about Berlin with over 12 min !

The way you design metro lines is just amazing. Keep up the good work 👍

[MrJimheeren]

Second World War, fall of the USSR, nothing can stop the growth of the Moscow metro

[Neversa]

If Moscow Central Circle is added, it'd be logical to add Moscow Central Diameters (MЦД, D1 and D2) to the video
