Five to six new stations will be commissioned annually in the capital's metro. Sergei Sobyanin He spoke live on TV Center and Moscow 24.
According to him, there are plans to develop the Rublevo-Arkhangelskaya metro line, which will go towards Sber-City, and the Biryulevskaya metro line (from Kommunarka to Troitsk).
"The residents of Biryulyovo have been asking for this for a long time. They say we're one of the few large districts in Moscow without a metro system, so building a metro there is also such an important task. And besides that, there are also local, individual metro sections that are also important," the Moscow Mayor noted.
Thus, in the future, half of Golyanovo's residents will live near a metro station. A project to build two new stations in the Yaroslavsky District in the northeast of the city, near the National Research Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, will also be implemented. All of them will be extensions of the Sokolnicheskaya line. The main construction is scheduled for completion by 2030.
In addition, by the end of this year, it is planned to open the passage to the Kornilovskaya station and complete the main work on the construction of additional exits from the Vavilovskaya station.
"Metro construction is a step-by-step process; everything can't be done at once. Stations are typically opened in stages. That is, first one stage, one exit, then a second exit, a transfer, and so on. Sometimes, it's technologically impossible to do everything simultaneously. We're trying, but this isn't possible at all stations, so we're doing it sequentially, but we're keeping this in mind," Sergei Sobyanin noted.
The Delovoy Tsentr and Shelepikha stations, formerly part of the Big Circle Line, have been temporarily closed. They will be integrated into the Rublevo-Arkhangelskaya line: their utility systems will be replaced, their tunnels modernized, and then connected to the future line. Construction is scheduled to be completed within the next year, after which the stations will reopen to passengers as part of the Rublevo-Arkhangelskaya line.
Unmanned transport
In September of this year, the first one was launched in the capital driverless tramIn the future, their number is planned to be gradually increased—first to 15, then to 30 and 40. As a result, two-thirds of the capital's trams will be driverless.
In addition, a new, even longer tram diameter is planned. Like the existing one, it will run along Academician Sakharov Avenue.
"We'll launch an even longer one, larger than this one—33 kilometers, I think. It will truly be a very large tram diameter. And both will run along Academician Sakharov Avenue. This small section we've laid, this 'Lvenok' [Lion Cub], which allows autonomous travel along this line, will, of course, offer completely new opportunities. And the second tram diameter, which we'll launch next year, will be even larger than the first, and overall, this will certainly improve transport accessibility for a million people," said Sergei Sobyanin.
According to him, the next step will be the creation of a driverless metro train and driverless shipping trams in the capital.
New trains on the Yaroslavl route
Rolling stock upgrades have begun on the Moscow Railway's Yaroslavl line. The first Ivolga 4.0 trains are already carrying passengers.
"It's not that the transport there is completely inadequate; the cars were perfectly serviceable. But what's the problem with the Yaroslavl line? Huge passenger traffic, crowded rush hour. How can this be solved? One option was to make it a fifth diameter, thereby increasing service frequency and, consequently, passenger capacity by 15-20 percent. We found a much simpler solution. Install new Ivolga-4.0 cars there—the most modern cars, which, in fact, will increase passenger capacity by that 15 percent and, to some extent, solve this problem," the Moscow Mayor explained.
According to him, there are plans to increase train frequency and reduce the time between trains during peak hours. The complete renewal of all rolling stock on the Yaroslavl line is planned for 2030.
Petrovsko-Razumovskaya station of the Moscow Central Diameters-1 (MCD-1)
Construction is well underway on the Petrovsko-Razumovskaya station on the first Moscow Central Diameter (MCD-1). All major construction is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
"We hope that all the main work will be completed by December of this year, and it will open either before the New Year or in the coming months," said Sergei Sobyanin.
Once opened, the station will become one of Moscow's largest transportation hubs. It will offer several transfers between two metro lines and between the Moscow Central Diameters. In the future, passengers will be able to transfer to high-speed rail trains here.
