Maxim Liksutov said that the updated turnstiles will appear in the metro this year. Thanks to the narrow pillars, they will increase the capacity of stations by 40%.
The new turnstiles are equipped with:
🔹 Light indication of payment status. Color backlighting will immediately show whether the transaction was successful.
🔹 Vibration feedback for the visually impaired. A tactile signal will help you understand whether the passage is open, without the need for visual control.
🔹 Possibility of passage from 2 sides. Turnstiles can work both for entry and exit, which is especially convenient at stations with high passenger flow.
🔹 Convenient validation zone for digital payment methods. Readers are positioned to instantly recognize the virtual Troika, SBP and other contactless payment methods.
"By 2031, more than 4.5 thousand new-generation turnstiles will appear at metro stations, the Moscow Central Circle and the Moscow Central Diameters. The response speed of each will increase due to more modern equipment and the use of new Russian microelectronics made in Zelenograd. This will ensure fast and convenient passage for everyone, including passengers with limited mobility and visually impaired. On the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, we will continue to improve the payment infrastructure in the capital's transport," added Maxim Liksutov.
