The Moscow Metro declared that it has reached the record short 80-second headway on the Circle Line (Line 5) during the tests of the train operation control system.
The result became possible after the modernization of the control system on the line, which took place in early 2023. During the tests, up to 45 trains were running on both tracks, so they arrived at the stations with a minimum headway of about 80 seconds – faster than in Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Beijing subways.
In 2022, passengers of the Moscow Metro and the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) made about 32 million rides using the biometric payment service.
In addition, more than 220 thousand new users registered in the Face Pay system last year. The service is used approximately 120 thousand times every day.
This month, the Moscow Metro began to connect 330 more turnstiles to the system. Apart from the metro and the MCC, Moscow plans to launch biometrics on the surface and river transport, Aeroexpress trains (airport rail link service) and the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD). Moreover, Moscow plans to link social transport cards to biometrics, including those for students.
The Moscow Metro purchased over 4 thousand modern cars since 2010 – 300 more to come in 2023
The Moscow Metro plans to receive around 300 new Moskva-2020 cars in 2023. The vehicles will be mainly used on the Big Circle Line and Line 6 of the network. Since 2010, the Moscow Metro has purchased over 4 thousand Moskva-2020 cars.
The new supplies will improve the passenger comfort on the lines where the trains of previous generation are still operating. They will also reduce headways on the existing lines – the Circle Line (Line 5) will have additional trains after the train traffic system is renewed. Finally, new supplies will help to create new jobs in the Moscow Metro: in 2023, approximately 1900 new jobs will be created in the new depots of the new Big Circle Line.
We have purchased more than 4 thousand Russian modern cars since 2010. The large-scale renewal of the fleet has increased convenience of the Moscow Metro passengers. Next year, we plan to receive another 300 Moskva-2020 cars. With new supplies, we will be able to open new lines with the usual short headways, renew the rolling stock on lines where older trains are still operating and create new jobs in the Moscow Metro with social benefits and steady income, – said Maksim Liksutov, the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport.
The innovative Moskva-2020 train is the most modern Moscow Metro train model. In 2021, the model won the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2021 for the best design. The international jury unanimously gave it the highest rating in the Trains and Planes category.

В 2022 году в Болгарии при поддержке Департамента внешнеэкономических и международных связей г. Москвы (ДВМС) прошел ряд мероприятий для российских соотечественников в рамках фестиваля русской культуры.
В Доме Москвы в Софии состоялся традиционный шахматный турнир среди молодых соотечественников и болгарской молодежи, проявляющей интерес к русской культуре. В Болгарии существует много молодежных шахматных коллективов и клубов, а также индивидуальных шахматистов из числа соотечественников. В турнире приняли участие около 50 молодых шахматистов, которые показали свое мастерство и проявили спортивный характер. В будущем также планируется продолжить проведение подобных соревнований.
В Софии в здании Российского культурно-информационного центра с большим успехом прошел международный фестиваль русского, классического и современного романса «Балканская романсиада», который является составной частью Московского международного конкурса молодых исполнителей «Романсиада».
Вчера, 30 ноября состоялся технический пуск северо-восточного участка Большой кольцевой линии от «Савеловской» до «Электрозаводской» — проехал в тестовом режиме поезд «Москва-2020».
The Moscow Metro carried out a technical launch of the north-eastern section of the Big Circle Line. A Moskva-2020 train ran in test mode from Savyolovskaya to Elektrozavodskaya station.
The length of the section is 7.2 km. The new stations will improve the transport accessibility for about 900 thousand residents of 12 districts of the city – almost 250 thousand of them live within walking distance of the network. Passengers will be able to save up to 40 minutes a day.
In addition, the launch of the new section will be make the entrance of Sokolniki station (Line 1) freer up to 25%, and Rizhskaya (Line 6) and Marina Roscha (Line 10) – up to 20%. New parking lots, crossings and stops will appear near each station.
On behalf of the Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, we are preparing new BCL stations for the full launch. This is a key infrastructure project in Moscow, it will change the mobility in the capital, relieve the urban transport and the main highways. The line will have 47 interchanges to the existing and prospective metro lines, the MCC, the MCD and the railroad. On the basis of 24 stations, we will create modern and convenient transport hubs, and 3.3 million residents of 34 districts of the city will have new travel options. With the full commissioning of the circle line, we expect that in the future it will be used by up to 2.2 million passengers - the BCL will be one of the most popular lines of the network, - said Maksim Liksutov, the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport.
