The Moscow Metro turns 89 years old. Its history began on May 15, 1935, when the first train with passengers departed from the Sokolniki metro station.
The line started from Sokolniki and stretched to Okhotny Ryad, from where two branches went to Park Kultury and Smolenskaya. In the early stages of construction, tunnels were laid using the open method — with shovels and picks. Therefore, the creation of the first stations can be safely called a real feat.
Since 2010, the number of stations has increased 1.5 times. This is the most developed metro network in Europe. All trains of the Moscow Metro run on schedule with an accuracy of 99.99%.
The development of the Moscow Metro continues. Taking into account the MCD (Moscow Central Diameters), the length of the lines amounted to 780 kilometers, and the total number of stations reached 333.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the new generation train "Ivolga 4.0" appeared on the MCD-4.
