Maxim Liksutov reported that an acoustic booth has been installed at the Komsomolskaya transfer hub, which connects metro stations, the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD), and major train stations. A second one has been installed at the Nizhegorodskaya transport hub. The booths are available free of charge until the end of the year.
Acoustic booths have been installed in the Moscow Metro.
The acoustic cabins are designed for one person. They feature: 1) USB and Type-C ports for charging devices; 2) a workstation; 3) adaptive lighting; 4) ventilation that provides a constant flow of fresh air.
Acoustic booths have been installed in the Moscow Metro.
The sound-damping materials in the acoustic booths have already passed all tests. The door is made of translucent glass, preventing anyone from seeing into the user's device.
You can rent booths in two ways: by pre-booking your desired time slot in the new acoustic booth rental service's mobile app, or by using time slots starting from 15 minutes on-site. To do this, scan the QR code on the booth door or posters.
"In today's world, people work from anywhere, not just in offices, and it's important for us to follow this trend. That's why we're starting to test acoustic booths in the metro. If needed, people will be able to work or make phone calls in silence. We're choosing booth locations that will be popular but won't disturb passengers. If these quiet spaces prove popular, we'll introduce them at other stations. We're continuing to launch new, convenient services on public transport, as instructed by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin," said Maxim Liksutov.
