The Moscow authorities continue to modernize equipment in the capital's metro. In 2026, new generation turnstiles will appear at 25 stations. This was reported by the press service of the Moscow Department of Transport.
According to the task of Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, by the end of 2031, more than 4.5 thousand new generation turnstiles will be installed at metro, MCC and MCD stations.
According to Liksutov, the updated equipment will increase the throughput of metro stations by 40%.
Metro access control devices were developed and manufactured in Moscow. They have implemented face recognition cameras for fare payment by biometrics.
Features of new generation turnstiles:
- Ergonomic design
- Intuitive interface for instant payment
- Color indication when making a payment
- Vibro-response about the status of the transaction (for visually impaired passengers)
In the summer, new turnstiles were presented at the exhibition «That very Moscow». The developers noted that their reading system instantly recognizes various digital payment systems, including the virtual Troika card, SBP and biometric data.
