Russian Metro

[MHJ]

Can someone shed a little light on what the Russian metro system is like? I have heard it is a really cool and expansive system.

Russian - you mean Moscow metro?

Hi,
You meant Moscow Metro? Or Saint-Petersburg? They are different in many things, although the major principles, like having one platform with two rails by sides for opposite directions are same. This model was also used in other former Soviet republics. Also, it is, as they call it, a circular - radial one, means that it is composed of cirlces crossed with radial branches. Easy to understand.

In general, I can say that this system is easier to undestand and use than the systems I have seen for example, in New York (above ground) or in Madrid - many lines and rails at the same station, you need to choose the right train and not to miss the right station to exit.

Good thoughts on the topic guys! Well, Russian metro is expensive. But the ride is really cool. It seems that you have never visited the places. Why don't you move on a world tour? It will be fun for you!

Metro in Russia is very inexpensive - about $ 1. Danger - this is ridiculous. There is only afraid of pickpockets. But they are fewer than in many other cities.

I must say that Russian Metro is rapid transit service which serving Moscow and neighbouring towns. It has 188 stations and almost 313.1km route. This Moscow Metro is little expensive transport service.

Moscow metro is really great metro service itself. Daily almost 6.6 million people travel in this metro. It was started around 1935. It take 90 seconds gap between two trains. And Yes it is really cool service.
