What time does the station open. What is the schedule of the Moscow metro and transitions

How the Moscow metro works: opening hours and intervals between trains in the Moscow metro.

Most residents and guests of Moscow using the metro, at least once, and even had to deal with the question of what time the metropolitan metro starts and ends. The same citizens of the country who rarely, but still use a similar view public transport, it is also interesting to know what is the interval between two trains. We will try to understand all this in this article.

Moscow metro opening hours

• According to the official website of the Moscow Metro, all its stations are open from 5:30 am to 1:00 am.
• However, it should be borne in mind that the opening and closing times of some stations depend on the day of the week and the day of the month, as well as on the location of these stations.
• So, for example, from the station Exhibition center the first train leaves at 7:00 am, and the last one at 23:00 pm.
• The same applies to Telecentre, Timiryazevskaya, Academician Korolev Street, Milashenkova Street and Sergei Eisenstein Street. The first trains from these stations also depart at 7:00 in the morning and at 23:00 in the evening.

The interval of trains in the Moscow metro

• The train interval is the length of time between the departure of the previous train and the arrival of the next.
• The intervals of movement in the Moscow metro are on average about 2.5 minutes.
• The smallest interval (from 1 to 2 minutes) is set during peak hours - from 8:00 to 10:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00.
• At lunchtime, the average time interval between trains is 3 minutes.
• Also, the interval of movement in the subway depends on the workload and popularity of the station. For example, from Vystavochnaya and International trains even at rush hour, they depart only every 5-6 minutes. At other, not heavily loaded stations, the intervals can be about 4-5 minutes.
• The interval of train movement is always displayed on a special board near the clock. The countdown on the interval board is carried out in reverse side— from the departure of the last train to the arrival of the next.

Moscow Metro: extended intervals

• Extended intervals of movement in the Moscow Metro are set at hours close to the opening and closing of stations. Thus, from 5:30 to 6:30 in the morning, as well as from 23:00 to 1:00, the most maximum time intervals prevail in the Moscow metro - up to 7-10 minutes.
• The intervals between train movements on weekends are also increasing.

What time does the Moscow metro close: transitions and entrances?

• At 1:00 am, all entrances to the metro are closed - at this time, you can only leave the stations. At 1:00 all escalators also turn off.
• Being on the metro at 1:00 in the city center, you can still get to your destination, as some trains depart at last flight already after 1:00. For example, the last metro departs from the Pyatnitskoe Shosse station at 1:04, and from the Alexandrovsky Sad station at 1:08. In addition, many trains connecting the outskirts of the city cross central stations as early as 1:20 or 1:40 at night.
• On holidays, Moscow mayors may decide to extend the operation of the metro until 2:00 am. This often happens in New Year, Christmas, Easter, Victory Day, Moscow Day, etc. At the same time, the morning time remains unchanged.

We hope that our article will help the guests of the capital to calculate their time in order to use Moscow's underground transport and get to their destination on time.

The metro in Moscow is the main and most accessible type of public transport. It includes more than two hundred operating and several dozen stations under construction. For many residents of the capital region of Russia and numerous tourists, the exact time at which the metro opens (and closes) is quite important. First of all, this applies to people who work on a non-standard schedule, on the night shift, as well as for those who live far from their office, enterprise, etc. The most relevant schedule of the metro in Moscow becomes in the cold season.

What time does the Moscow metro start operating?

According to official rules, the metropolitan metro opens every day at 5.30 am local time and continues to receive passengers until 1 am. This schedule will continue in 2019. Some stations, due to technical or other reasons, may open a little earlier or later (usually between 5.20 and 5.35). Sometimes these deviations are associated with even or odd days of the month, which requires clarification in each specific case. The transitions between metro stations at night (after 1 a.m.) do not work, but passengers who managed to get inside before closing usually have the opportunity to move from one station to another and get on the last trains heading from the city center to the outskirts.

From general rules the operation of the Moscow metro, there are several significant exceptions. Firstly, it is connected with various holidays and social events. For example, according to the established tradition, the metropolitan metro operates around the clock on New Year's Eve. The night from December 31, 2018 to January 1, 2019 will not be an exception. A round-the-clock (or extended) schedule can also be established by decision of the Moscow authorities on City Day, on Orthodox Christmas and so on.

Secondly, some stations of the Moscow metro in 2019 will operate according to an individual schedule related to their technical features(monorail) and a number of other factors. Among these:

• Upper Likhobory (from 5.30 to 1.30);
• Exhibition Center (from 7.00 to 23.00);
• Telecentre (from 7.00 to 23.00);
• Timiryazevskaya (monorail, from 7.00 to 23.00);
• Academician Koroleva Street (from 7.00 to 23.00);
• Milashenkova Street (from 7.00 to 23.00);
• Sergei Eisenstein Street (from 7.00 to 23.00).

Thirdly, in 2019 it is planned to open several new stations in New Moscow (Olkhovaya, Prokshino, Stolbovo, Filatov Lug). In addition, the number of so-called stations should increase. "Third Interchange Ring" (Aminevskoye Highway, Vorontsovskaya, Zyuzino, Michurinsky Prospekt, Mnevniki, Rzhevskaya, Stromynka, People's Militia Street, etc.). Exact time the opening of these new metropolitan metro facilities in 2019 has not yet been determined. As a rule, such stations begin to operate in a test mode, which involves a special, often shortened schedule (they close earlier, open later). The Moscow authorities say that the population will be notified about the corresponding schedule as the facilities open.

The management of the metropolitan metro may change the schedule of individual stations in connection with the necessary repairs or other circumstances (natural and man-made disasters, mass sports events, other social events, etc.). As a rule, such changes are announced in advance on the official website of the metro. mosmetro.ru.

Cellular communication and Internet in the Moscow Metro

Wi-Fi antenna "MaximaTelecom" in the subway tunnel

The cellular network covers most of the Moscow metro stations [to 1], except for some stations put into operation during the reign of Sergei Sobyanin. Also, many transitions, escalator slopes and hauls are provided with communication. However, the availability of coverage and signal strength vary greatly depending on the specific station (haul), as well as on the mobile operator. All hauls of the Circle Line are provided with continuous coverage [ specify] .

Since March 2007, at three stations of the Moscow Metro (Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya and Ploshchad Revolyutsii), Comstar-OTS has been providing a paid wireless Internet access (Wi-Fi) service. In 2012, the test equipment of the subway with Wi-Fi equipment was carried out by the Big Three companies: MTS radiating cable was laid on the sections of the Koltsevaya line, stations and sections of the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya line section from Mendeleevskaya to Borovitskaya were equipped with MegaFon, and Wi-Fi service from Beeline was tested on two trains of the Sokolnicheskaya line. Subsequently, all three companies refused to participate in the competition for equipping the entire subway as an economically unprofitable project.

CJSC MaximaTelecom agreed to provide Wi-Fi services on all metro lines, and NVision Group acted as a co-executor. Wi-Fi was launched on the Kakhovskaya line in September 2013, on the Koltsevaya line - in December. During 2014, the remaining metro lines were equipped with the service: Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya (February), Sokolnicheskaya (March), Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya (July), Zamoskvoretskaya (August), Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya (October), Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya (October), Serpukhovsko - Timiryazevskaya from Butovskaya (November), Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya and Filevskaya (December). The service is free and is provided only in carriages, it is not planned to create access points in lobbies and stations. Currently, free (under the terms of an agreement prohibiting any ad blockers) Wi-Fi is provided on all hauls and on all trains, except for the Sokolniki retro train.

In 2015, MaximaTelecom JSC launched a new targeted advertising service called Aura Place. The service will allow showing ads only to certain users, depending on the station and metro line, on time, as well as on the intended place of work and residence of the user.

Lines of the Moscow metro and urban transport systems integrated with it

All lines are given names and short designations, as well as serial numbers. The colors in the table correspond to the colors of the lines in the diagram above. Moreover, these colors are well-established and additionally encode the lines. For example, for a considerable number of people, the expression “red metro line” will say almost more than “Sokolnicheskaya line”, and saying “gray line” can be faster and easier than remembering and pronouncing official name"Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya". Sometimes abbreviations of line names are also used, for example, APL - Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line, GZL - Zamoskvoretskaya ( historical name- Gorky-Zamoskvoretskaya).

Tunnels and stations of Sokolnicheskaya and Koltsevaya lines. On the central section of the Sokolnicheskaya line, the tunnels are double-track shallow, then single-track deep. View from the driver's cab of the Synergy-1 diagnostic electric train.

Ground section Kuntsevskaya - Fili Filevskaya line. View from the driver's cab of the electric train "Rusich"

Most of the Moscow metro lines pass through the city center, with the exception of Kakhovskaya and Butovskaya, located on the outskirts. The circle line connects all other lines, except Kakhovskaya, Butovskaya, Monorail and MCC.

Most of the tracks and stations are underground, but there are exceptions. Thus, the Filyovskaya line has a long land section from the Studencheskaya station to the Kuntsevskaya station from 7 ground stations, and four of the seven stations of the Butovskaya line are located above the ground on flyovers. There are also ground sections on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya, Sokolnicheskaya, Zamoskvoretskaya and Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya lines.

Also in the Moscow metro there are 5 open metro bridges. Of these, 4 cross the Moscow River (Smolensky, Luzhnetsky, Nagatinsky and Mitinsky) and 1 - Yauza (Preobrazhensky). In addition, there are 6 covered metro bridges - for example, Medvedkovsky, which is a tunnel passing over the Yauza.

On the Zamoskvoretskaya, Kaluga-Rizhskaya, Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya, Kalininskaya, Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya and Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya lines, 8-car trains run; on Sokolnicheskaya and Solntsevskaya - 7-carriage; on Kakhovskaya - 6-carriages. Rusich trains of 3 cars run on the Butovskaya line (a section of one Rusich car is about 1.5 times longer than a regular car). On the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line, 5-car Rusich trains and 7-car trains from conventional wagons; at Filevskaya, 4-car "Rusich" and 6-car conventional trains are used. The circle line is served only by 5-car Rusich trains.

Light metro

In 2001, the development of a light metro project as part of the Moscow Metro system began. It was decided to build lines to the "sleeping areas", in dire need of high-speed transport communication.

Initially, it was planned to build flyovers with curves of an extremely small radius and operate Yauza articulated two-car trains, but later it was decided to start creating a new type of cars specifically for ground metro lines. Permissible curve radii on the light metro are defined as 150 m in accordance with SNiP (building codes and rules). For comparison: the permissible curve radii for a conventional metro are defined as 200 m (see Fig. Full description Moscow light metro).

The first section of the light metro of five stations on the Butovskaya line was opened on December 27, 2003. However, according to their technical specifications the line is fully consistent with the usual subway. For almost ten years, it was designated on the diagrams as a light metro line. Since the end of 2012, it has been indicated on the diagrams among other metro lines, and since May 2013 it has been indicated on the official diagrams made by Artemy Lebedev's studio as number 12 instead of L1. On the interchange signs of the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya and Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya lines, the old designation L1 is used.

Electric train P30 on the overpass of the Moscow monorail

The Moscow metro system administratively includes a monorail road. A 4.7 km section of the monorail road with six stations connects Timiryazevskaya (line 9), Fonvizinskaya (line 10) and VDNKh (line 6) metro stations. The first trips in the "excursion" mode began on November 20, 2004, the system was fully operational on January 10, 2008.

There is no technological connection between the monorail and the subway, a trip on the monorail required a separate payment until December 31, 2012. From January 1, 2013, all types of travel tickets for travel on the metro are also valid for paying for travel on the Moscow monorail transport system. At the same time, when making the transition from the metro stations to the monorail station "VDNKh" - "Exhibition Center", "Fonvizinskaya" - "Milashenkova Street", "Timiryazevskaya" - "Timiryazevskaya" and back within 90 minutes from the moment of entering the station, an additional trip with the ticket is not written off.

Since December 2015, on the diagrams in the subway cars, the system is indicated by the number 13, instead of M1 [k 6]

On January 23, 2018, the "excursion" mode of movement was returned to the line, the train runs every 30 minutes.

Electric train "Lastochka" at the entrance to the platform "Shelepikha"

In 2012, the reconstruction of the Small Ring of the Moscow railway under passenger operation. Initially, the ring was used for freight traffic between all ten main railway lines of the capital, however, after reconstruction, on the first and second main tracks, passenger traffic. The line of passenger electric trains is partly integrated with the Moscow Metro (transfers and partly the fare system) system of the city electric train - an analogue of the German S-Bahn model, within which, in addition to the main name Moscow central ring(MCC) also received the designation "Second Ring Line" and serial number.

The Moscow Central Circle opened to passengers on September 10, 2016. The line is a ring consisting of 31 stations. Within a month from the date of opening, travel on the MCC was free for all passengers.

Moscow metro stations

Mayakovskaya station

Kyiv station of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line

The Moscow metro has 206 stations. Of these, 203 are located on the territory of Moscow (2 of them - Rumyantsevo" and " Salaryevo" - on the territory of New Moscow), 1 ("Myakinino") - entirely in the Moscow region, 2 ("Novokosino" and "Kotelniki") are located on border regions. Many stations changed their names, some several times. Most of the stations are underground, only 12 stations are above ground [to 8], and 5 are above ground (on overpasses and bridges) [to 9] . Of the underground stations, 79 are deep and 110 are shallow. Deep stations are divided by design into three-vaulted pylon (55), three-vaulted columns (20) and single-vaulted (1, "Timiryazevskaya") [k 1] . Shallow stations are divided by design into four-span columns (1, " Alexander Garden”), three-span columns (66), two-span columns (9) [to 10], single-span with vaulted ceiling (31) and single-span with flat ceiling (3, “Volzhskaya”, “Marino” and “ Starokachalovskaya street"). Eight stations have side platforms [to 11], among them only one is underground - “ Alexander Garden". Six stations have platforms arranged in a curve [to 12] . Two stations have two island platforms each ("Polezhaevskaya" and "Partizanskaya"). Six stations consist of two halls [to 1].

There are no more so-called "ghost stations" in the Moscow Metro. Two closed stations - the original "Kaluzhskaya" and "Pervomaiskaya" - were located on the territory of two depots and now form part of them. For almost forty years, the operating section of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line had an unfinished station, which opened in 2014 under the name Spartak. On the stretch "Krylatskoye" - "Strogino" there is a technical platform "Troitse-Lykovo", which theoretically can be rebuilt into a full-fledged station for passengers. The interchange hub "Business Center" - "Vystavochnaya" also includes the mothballed station of the Third Interchange Circuit.

In total, the stations make up 13 lines served by 31 transfer hubs. Of these, one is four-station (" Alexander Garden» - «Arbatskaya» - « Lenin's Library- "Borovitskaya"), seven three-station and 23 two-station. Six nodes (" Kitai-Gorod", "Tretyakovskaya", "Kashirskaya", "Kuntsevskaya", "Victory Park" and " Petrovsko-Razumovskaya”) have a cross-platform transfer (on Tretyakovskaya, the transfer hub includes three stations, but two of them are connected by a cross-platform transfer, the third is connected with the first two ordinary crossings and has a different name; on Kuntsevskaya, the transfer is cross-platform only for trains, coming from the city centre).

The length of the platforms of the vast majority of stations - 155 m (8 cars) - is the de facto standard, which has been in force since the construction of the first stage of the subway. At the new stations, the platform length was increased to 162 m. At the stations of the Filyovskaya line, with the exception of the 160-meter Kuntsevskaya line, the platforms are shorter and are designed to receive 6-car trains, while the Studencheskaya platforms, originally designed to receive 5 -car trains were lengthened. At the stations of the Butovskaya line, the length of the platforms is 90 m and is designed to receive 4-car trains.

The platforms are equipped with a loudspeaker, through which announcements are made (about the occasional train running without stopping, not boarding an arriving train, about possible technical problems on the metro lines, etc.). At almost all stations, a characteristic sound signal notifies passengers of the imminent arrival of the next train. On sections of escalator transport, as well as at interstation transitions with relatively high passenger flows, reminders of the rules for using the subway, as well as musical themes and poems by famous poets, sound; V new year holidays sound New Year's greetings and New Year's songs; until June 1, 2018, advertising messages were heard there.

Elevator at Borisovo metro station

The descent to the underground metro stations and the ascent to the aboveground ones is carried out using escalators and flights of stairs. In most cases, escalators are single-stage, three- or four-line. 132 stations are equipped with escalators. There are a total of 678 escalators at stations and underpasses of the Moscow Metro, including 18 at Monorail stations. transport system. At the exits from the stations of the Butovskaya line (except for "Starokachalovskaya Street") and from the stations "Troparevo", "Zhulebino", " Lermontovsky prospect”, “Novokosino”, “Borisovo”, “Shipilovskaya”, “Zyablikovo” (also at the transition to the station “Krasnogvardeyskaya”), “Alma-Atinskaya”, “Pyatnitskoe highway”, “Mitino”, “Volokolamskaya”, “Strogino” , Kuntsevskaya (only on the platform towards the Slavyansky Boulevard station) and Slavyansky Boulevard, elevators were built, and at the Novoyasenevskaya station, a special lift was also installed on the stairs for people with restrictions on the musculoskeletal system. Until 2014, a similar lift existed at the Altufievo station.

All underground stations have ground or underground lobbies, often combined with under-street pedestrian crossings. Ground lobbies can either be separate buildings or be built into other houses or combined with them (for example, stations). Underground lobbies often have access to the surface in the form of flights of stairs carved in the middle of the street, which are sometimes covered with glazed pavilions. Part of the vestibules also play the role of transition from one station to another.

The lobbies of the stations of the first and second stages of the subway, multi-level, often have a ground or built-in pavilion, then diverging flights of stairs that go down to the intermediate cash and turnstile levels, and only then access to the platforms. However, due to the inconvenience of such a scheme, starting from the third stage, they were replaced by ground lobbies. In the early 1960s, with the advent of standard project stations, a new standard scheme was also adopted - an underground vestibule connected to underground passages. Since then, above-ground lobbies have become an exception, and they were built only in isolated cases.

Northern vestibule of Alma-Atinskaya metro station

Station facing area (total) - 795.5 thousand m², including: marble tiles - 358.5 thousand m², granite tiles - 72.6 thousand m², various tiles - 219.9 thousand m², other cladding - 144.4 thousand m².

Station name announcements

On the radial lines, when moving towards the center of Moscow, the names of the stations are announced by male voices, and when moving from the center - by female ones. On the Circle Line, male voices announce stations when moving clockwise, while female voices announce stations in the opposite direction. This was done to guide the passage of blind and visually impaired citizens. This option was proposed in 1984. However, on the section of the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line from the Tretyakovskaya to the Turgenevskaya (inclusive) stations, only a female voice is announced in both directions. A similar situation is currently on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line (Arbatskaya station, only trains 81-740.1 / 81-741.1, assigned to PM-16). On the Sokolnicheskaya line at the Lubyanka station upon arrival from Chistye Prudy And Okhotny Ryad the station is announced by a man's voice, at departure - by a woman's. The situation is similar on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line: when trains arrive at the Sretensky Bulvar station from the Chkalovskaya and Trubnaya stations, the transfers are announced by a male voice, and the departure is announced by a female. On the Filevskaya line towards the Kuntsevskaya station they are announced by a female voice, in the opposite direction - by a male. On the Kakhovskaya line from Kakhovskaya to Kashirskaya, a male voice sounds, in the opposite direction - a female one. The situation is similar on the Kalininskaya line (before its connection with the Solntsevo radius). Only a male voice sounds on the MCC and the monorail. Recordings of announcements in informants were made mainly by Sergey Kulikovskikh and Yulia Romanova-Kutina, with the exception of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line (Aleksey Rossoshansky and Ekaterina Pyasetskaya, with the exception of bus station announcements, railway stations, transitions to the MCC, announcements about handrails and when announcing administrative responsibility before entering a dead end, which are announced by Sergey Kulikovskikh and Yulia Romanova-Kutina), the MCC (only Aleksey Rossoshansky) and the monorail. Until 2018, the old-style autoinformer (1990-2005) also operated in the reserve head cars TC-10, although the autoinformer on the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line was mostly flashed in June 2004

Action "Voice of the metro"

In 2004, the Voice of the Metro campaign was launched. Instead of the usual voices in the metro, the voices of famous actors sounded. Elina Bystritskaya, Tatyana Vasilyeva, Ekaterina Vasilyeva, Galina Volchek, Valery Garkalin, Lyudmila Gurchenko, Lev Durov, Valery Zolotukhin, Vladimir Menshov, Svetlana Nemolyaeva, Olga Ostroumova, Lyubov Polishchuk, Konstantin Raikin, Nina Ruslanova, Valentina Talyzina, Mikhail Ulyanov, Natalya Fateeva, Alexander Shirvindt, Boris Shcherbakov, Vladimir Etush, Sergei Yursky, Yuri Yakovlev and Leonid Yarmolnik. Metro Voices welcomed passengers of the Sokolnicheskaya line on City Day, the birthday of the metro and on New Year's holidays. After the death of Lyudmila Gurchenko, the Voice of the Metro action was suspended.

On April 30, 2015, in connection with the upcoming celebration of the 80th anniversary of the metro, the action was revived under the name "Voices of the Metro". In the updated version, the actions of the station on all metro lines are announced by theater and film actors, singers and TV presenters.

During the action, such service announcements as « Dear passengers! Get out of the trains quickly! Hurry up and get on the wagons.". It was officially announced that the action would last until the end of May 2015, but in fact, the informants on almost all trains, except for the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line, were returned to the old records soon, around the middle of the 20th of May.

It is useful to know the operating mode of the metro for residents and guests of the capital. Even if you are a motorist, no one is immune from technical problems vehicle, and as you know, the most fast way to get to work in the metropolis - use the subway. Knowing the time of the metro will also not hurt fans of late parties, walks under the night sky and those who are passing through Moscow.

Often even motorists leave their vehicles at park-and-ride parking lots and go on business by metro, as legends can be made about Moscow traffic jams. The convenient schedule of the Moscow metro allows you to quickly get from one part of the huge million-plus city to another, bypassing the dense metropolitan traffic.

What time does the metro open in Moscow

The metro hours in Moscow are fixed. According to the schedule on the official website of the Moscow Metro, in 2019 metro stations open their doors daily at 05:30 am. Opening times are fixed for all stations, but the metro train schedule for each station is different. On holidays, the metro opening schedule does not change.

Metro train schedule

The schedule of metro stations and the schedule of train departures are two different things. For example, the opening time of the Kuzminki station is 05:30 in the morning, but the first train does not arrive at the station until 06:03 (track 1). The current timetable of the metro trains can be found in interactive mode on the official website in the "Train timetable" section. To get acquainted with the information, you must select the station from which you are going to start your trip. The display will show the time of departure and arrival of the first and last trains at this station on weekends and weekdays in both directions (for intermediate).

The interactive metro map on the official website will help you calculate the travel time. In the lower right corner of the page or directly on the map, you can select the departure and arrival stations. The system will determine the approximate number of minutes on the way, possible transfers and the number of stations.

If you want to catch the last train, then you need to carefully calculate the time of the trip, since, as a rule, it does not leave at 01:00, but earlier. With rare exceptions, trains leave stations later than one in the morning. For example, from the Kuzminki stations, the last train from the first track leaves at 01:47. It is logical to assume that trains departing from these stations at such a late time will reach their destination after 02:00. You should not worry, although the stations are closed for entry at 01:00, they work much longer for the exit.

In the evening, the traffic intervals are quite long and amount to 8 minutes. In general, the interval of movement depends on the metro line, since the schedules on each branch are different. At rush hour, the intervals are reduced to the maximum, to approximately 1 minute.

On weekends, the intervals of trains are slightly longer than on weekdays. An electronic scoreboard above the entrance to the tunnel along the train will help you navigate the time. The scoreboard shows the departure time of the previous train. This board does not inform about the arrival of the next train and is intended exclusively for drivers, but passengers also find it convenient.

Rush hours on the subway

Rush hours in the Moscow metro fall in the morning and evening, as residents of the capital are trying to get to their workplace or educational institution. From about 10:30 to 16:30, the escalators, platforms and subway cars get a little more spacious.

During peak hours, you also have to calculate the travel time. For reliability, it is worth adding about 8-10 minutes to the planned travel time, since there are quite impressive queues at the entrance to the escalator and during the inspection. Since the beginning of 2018, a continuous screening regime has been introduced at all stations of the Moscow metro, which involves checking hand luggage on the tape and the passage of the passenger through the frame of the metal detector. During rush hours and at stations with high traffic, this procedure increases the time spent on the subway.

What time does the metro close in Moscow

The closing of metro stations and the stop of escalators takes place at 01:00. Stations are closed only for entry, but exits continue to work. On holidays, the metro closing schedule is postponed for an hour or more (until 02:00 or 03:00) so that vacationers in the capital and city guests have the opportunity to use the metro services and quickly get home after the events. You can find out about the closing time of the metro on a particular holiday on the official website of the metro, at the departure station or by contacting

Schedule of the Moscow metro and transitions.

The Moscow Metro operates at the entrance of passengers, as a rule, from 5:30 in the morning until 1:00 at night.
More specifically, for stations, this can be clarified on the official website of the Moscow metro - www mosmetro ru
A slightly different work schedule for the monorail line of the Moscow metro. The line opens for passenger entry at 7:00 am.

Some stations have different entry times.
For example, people are allowed to enter the Vykhino station after one in the morning, since the last train from the opposite end station (Planernaya) only departs at this time. During the time when the last train from Planernaya reaches Vykhino, several more will pass.
Crossings are open until 1:00 am at all stations. This official information.

As they say on the website, the train schedule is 99.98% fulfilled.

If you are late and do not have time for the transition before one in the morning, it can still be done, but on foot, since the escalators turn off at one in the morning.
You just have to walk up or down the steps of the stopped escalator.

But the most important thing is information about when the last train departs from different stations and metro lines, including the Circle Line.
As a rule, at 01:03 the last train leaves the terminal stations. So, for example, the last train from Planernaya station on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line leaves at 01:03. Accordingly, it arrives at Vykhino station at approximately 01:52, and at Zhulebino at 02:00; the last train from the Mitino station leaves a little later - at 1:04; from the station "Alexandrovsky Sad" towards the station "Mezhdunarodnaya" even later - at 1:08). Late passengers still have a chance to reach their destination.
For example, if you need to know when the last train will arrive at a certain station of the radial line (for example, in the direction from Barrikadnaya towards Zhulebino), you need to count the number of stops from Planernaya station to Barrikadnaya (8 pieces) and calculate total time movement through these stations (in this example, it is 22 minutes). In total, if the train leaves from Planernaya at 1:03, then it will be at Barrikadnaya at about 01:25. This is the deadline when you can catch the last train towards Zhulebino. On average, from the city center to the outskirts, the last trains of the radial lines pass the central stations around 01:20-01:40.
At a little over one in the morning (at about 01:10), all the trains definitely go in different directions, but after 01:15 it’s no longer worth the risk and go with transfers. Especially if the line is short (like Kalininskaya).
For example, if you decide to travel along the Circle Line from one station to another at a late hour, you can miscalculate, because trains sometimes go only to a certain station, or the train interval is increased. Sometimes you can expect a train up to 10 minutes and miss the last one, following one of the directions. If the train goes to a certain station, this is announced in advance when boarding.

In order to be guaranteed to get on the subway, it is advisable to try to catch the transition before 01:15.
All escalators work at the exit from the metro.
On average, train intervals are 2.5-4 minutes (at night they are longer - the maximum interval can reach 10 minutes - for example, at night on weekends).

To find out the travel time from one station to another, you need to open the Moscow Metro scheme - mosmetro ru, select right direction, move the arrow to the desired station and press. A dark blue circle will appear. Then you need to click on another desired station. The time of movement on this segment will appear automatically.
It will also show optimal route trips.

Since September 2013, new opportunities have been provided for regular and forced night passengers using public transport services - night traffic routes have appeared -

On the trolleybus number B at night you can ride along the Garden Ring, and on the bus number H1 - from Sheremetyevo to Leninsky Prospekt, with a bus interval of 30 minutes.
Let's say you missed the transition from the Circle Line to the Radial Line. Don't panic. Go outside, try to get to the Garden Ring. Look for a stop on route number B. It runs around the clock, with an interval of 15 minutes. Bus number B runs at night, not a trolleybus. Are you driving along Garden Ring to the desired station (direction). For example, you missed the transition from Krasnopresnenskaya to Barrikadnaya towards the center to get to Vykhino. Take "B" to Taganskaya, and save a lot on taxis. If you go on Friday evening or on weekends, then by trolleybus number 63 you can easily reach Vykhino.

Tram number 3 will take you to Chertanovo at night, and trolleybus number 15 will take you from VDNKh to Luzhniki.
