Russian Metro

Metro (метро)

Moscow, St Petersburg and a few other large

cities in Russia have an underground (метро).

Метро is the fastest and most efficient way of

traveling around a big Russian city.

Trains are very frequent, every two minutes or

even less in the rush hour.

You will usually find buses, trolleybuses or

trams at the underground stations to take you

further.

To use the underground, you need to buy a card

from the касса (кассы – plural).

In Moscow you can buy tickets for more than

one journey at the same time by purchasing a

card. The more you pay for in advance the

cheaper it becomes.

In St Petersburg you can buy a token (жетон) for

a single journey or a card for several journeys.

Put your card or жетон into a machine and go

through the barrier when you see the green light

or the word ИДИТЕ.

If you go through when it’s the red light, or the

word СТОЙТЕ is showing, you’ll be grabbed by

a set of mechanical arms!

The first line of Moscow underground was

opened in 1935.

At present the entire length of the underground

lines is about 264 kilometers.

It carries 8750 thousands of passengers daily –

twice more than St Petersburg, Kiev and Minsk

undergrounds all together!

There are maps of the underground network in

each station and on each platform you will see a

list of stations for the current line.


The station names on the platform are not as

clear as in London; you will have to listen out for

the recorded announcements given at each

station.

Natasha Kabiak 16

The phrase следующая станция means the next

station is.


The other message you will hear at every station

is Осторожно, двери закрываются! (Careful,

the doors are closing.)

The first underground line in St Petersburg was

opened in 1955.

of the escalator (эскалатор) from the bottom.

At present the entire length of the underground

lines is about 113 kilometers.


There are 4 lines and 63 stations.

The deepest station is Проспект Большевиков -
