For comfortable work or making calls, acoustic booths have been installed at the Nizhegorodskaya (near exits 5, 6, and 7) and Komsomolskaya (near entrances 7 and 8) transport hubs of the Circle Line. They are free to use until December 31st, but you will need to log in and reserve a time slot of at least 15 minutes. service applicationCabins are available for rent during all metro operating hours, and each cabin can accommodate only one passenger.
"In October, at the direction of Sergei Sobyanin, we launched a new service—rental of acoustic booths. In just one and a half months of operation, they have already been booked over 700 times. They are the first silent spaces in the metro, offering comfortable conditions for passengers: they include a workstation, adaptive lighting, power outlets, mobile device charging ports, and ventilation. We are actively analyzing feedback to decide whether to expand the service to other popular stations. We are taking into account all user requests," noted the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.
You can track your session time in the app. If a passenger forgets to check the remaining minutes, they'll receive a push notification on their smartphone five minutes before the end. Once the last minute has passed, the cabin lights will automatically dim. This signals the need to vacate the quiet space for the next user.
If a passenger is inside the cabin, a "busy" sign will illuminate outside. When a cabin user needs to terminate their session and leave, they can do so earlier than planned. It is recommended to also terminate the session in the mobile app. This will allow the next user to use the cabin. When booking multiple slots in a row, the passenger does not need to leave the silent space to activate a new slot; instead, they must press the appropriate button in the app.
Acoustic cabins with charging devices have appeared on Moscow public transport.
The acoustic cabin door closes tightly to block out noise, but for user safety, it lacks a lock. If passengers require internet access during the session, they can use their mobile provider's service.
