The Moscow MetroSalmanov Alexander 6”D”

The Moscow Metro is a rapid transit system serving Moscow and the neighbouring town of Krasnogorsk. Opened in 1935 with one 11-kilometres line and 13 stations, it was the first underground railway system in the Soviet Union.

The Moscow Metro has 185 stations and its route length is 305.7 kilometres.

The system is mostly underground, with the deepest section 84 meters below ground at the Park Pobedy station.

The Moscow Metro is the world's second-most-heavily-used rapid transit system, after Tokyo's twin subway.

The first plans for a metro system in Moscow date back to the Russian Empire but were postponed by World War I, the October Revolution and the Russian Civil War.

History

The first line, from Okhotny Ryad to Smolenskaya, was opened to the public on 15 May 1935 at 07:00. It was 11 kilometres long and included 13 stations. The line connected Sokolniki and Park Kultury. The latter branch was extended westwards to a new station (Kiyevskaya) in March 1937, the first Metro line crossing the Moskva River over the Smolensky Metro Bridge.

The Moscow Metro is open from about 05:30 until 01:00.
