Maxim Liksutov announced that updated access control equipment will be installed at 25 metro stations next year.
Main advantages:
The new turnstiles were designed and manufactured in Moscow. The readers are intuitively positioned to allow for instant payment. All turnstiles are enabled for biometric payment, and facial recognition cameras are seamlessly integrated into the design. Colored backlighting indicates whether the fare has been processed, and vibration feedback helps visually impaired passengers easily understand the transaction status.
"According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, more than 4,500 new-generation turnstiles will be installed at metro stations, the Moscow Central Circle (MCC), and the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) by the end of 2031. Their ergonomic design will maximize the use of vestibule space. The updated equipment will increase station capacity by 40%. Thanks to Russian microelectronics, the new turnstiles will operate even faster, increasing passenger throughput," added Maxim Liksutov.
