Mtsk running. Metro stations under construction. Scheme of the second ring line. MCC! Moscow stations will be short of passengers

In Moscow, work is being completed to put the Moscow Ring Railway stations into operation. Traffic on the updated small ring will start next year. Several facilities have already been integrated into the city's transport infrastructure. It is assumed that the road will become one with the capital's subway. This information was voiced by the deputy head of the transport department, Hamid Bulatov. According to the official, passengers themselves will not even feel the difference, because they will be able to use a single ticket.

The Moscow Ring Railway will include 31 stops, of which a full-fledged transport interchange network will operate at 21 points, and at 17 stop pavilions passengers will be able to switch to the usual line. At 9 stops, it is possible to transfer to all existing routes of suburban trains, except Kyiv. The small ring of the MKZ will significantly reduce all flows of metro lines and will provide the ability to deliver passengers to the main metropolitan highways.

The Moscow ring railway stations will be added to the metro map in September 2016. A map may also appear indicating the radial directions of railway tracks; such an innovation is not ruled out by the director of the Moscow Ring Railway, Alexey Zotov.

According to preliminary estimates, the planned passenger flow of the Moscow ring in 2017 will be 75 million people, and by 2020 it will grow 2.3 times to 170 million passengers. The interval in the movement of railway transport will depend on the demand among citizens. If the Moscow Ring Railway becomes popular with passengers, the interval is planned to be reduced to two minutes.

The Moscow Central Circle (MCC) will open to passengers in early September. Approximately September 10th. This was stated by the head of the Moscow Metro, Dmitry Pegov.

The MCC line received number 14 in the Moscow Metro. The ring consists of 31 stations, 17 of them are connected to the metro, 10 to radial railway lines. Transfers between metro stations and the MCC will take no more than 10-12 minutes. The shortest and most comfortable transfers will be in “warm” (not requiring going outside) transitions from the stations: Mezhdunarodnaya, Leninsky Prospekt, Cherkizovskaya, Vladykino, Kutuzovskaya.

The main advantage of the Moscow Central Circle is that it should relieve the “Koltsevaya” line by 15%, the “Sokolnicheskaya” line by 20%, and all stations.

ABOUT OPERATING MODE

Since the Moscow Central Circle is metro line 14, the operating hours will be identical - daily from 5.30 to 1.00.

ABOUT THE COST OF TRAVEL

A single ticket for 20 trips will cost 650 rubles, for 40 trips - 1,300 rubles, 60 trips - 1,570 rubles. At the same time, travel for Troika card users on the MCC will cost the same as on the metro - 32 rubles. It is worth emphasizing that the possibility of transferring from the metro to the MCC and back will be free of charge.

Transfers within 90 minutes from the moment you first enter the station are free. Reprogramming of turnstiles, cash registers, and ticket vending machines has now begun,” said Dmitry Pegov.

You can use the second free metro transfer from MCC platforms only with tickets purchased after September 1. Passengers who purchased tickets before this date will be able to exchange them for new ones, with the benefit of a free transfer. Otherwise, the additional trip will be charged. And the first 30,000 people who exchange tickets purchased before September 1 will receive gifts from the metro. There will be no need to exchange social cards.

ABOUT PAYMENT METHODS

Tickets can be purchased in the same way as for trips on the metro: at ticket offices, vending machines, or top up your Troika card via the Internet. It will also be possible to pay for travel by credit card. For this purpose, all stations are now equipped with machines for reading bank cards.

ABOUT PASSENGER SERVICES

The stations will introduce similar services that exist in the metro. Passengers with limited mobility will be able to benefit from free mobility assistance. The stations will have chargers for gadgets, trees, and benches. And also trash cans, which are not in the Moscow metro itself. “Live Communication” counters will appear at five stations, where tourists will also be able to obtain information in English. In particular, it is already being installed at the Luzhniki station.

ABOUT COMPOSITIONS

33 trains will be launched on the ring, which will have handrails for standing passengers. And just like on regular trains, there will be toilets. The interval between trains will be only 6 minutes.

THE YANDEX METRO APPLICATION WILL BE UPDATED

By the time the Moscow Central Circle launches, the map will be updated in the Yandex Metro application, which is used by many Muscovites.

We have already taken measurements so that people can plan their time on the trip. People will also be informed about temporary closures of stations, said Alexander Shulgin, CEO of Yandex in Russia.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?

Navigation is hosted;

The trains practice movement intervals;

Information boards are installed on the platforms;

They are creating comfortable ground transport routes connecting with stations of the new subway line.

INTERESTING TO KNOW

75 million passengers will be able to use the transportation in the first year, and by 2025 the number will increase to 350 million passengers annually;

The metro staff will increase by 800 people.

Online workload application

To implement this project, it is necessary to prepare the infrastructure to show this. But we have this in our plans. This will be a similar project to Yandex.Traffic. The Moscow Metro is working on the issue of providing Yandex with data on congestion. As soon as we are able to receive them, we will send them to Yandex, and they will be displayed in the application online,” said Dmitry Pegov, head of the metro.

Helpful information

No matter how banal it may sound, the pace of human life is accelerating day by day. A person is constantly in a hurry to somewhere: to work, to school, to university. In addition to proper time management, a well-functioning transport system helps you get everything done. One of its parts is the MCC or Moscow Central Circle.

History and layout of the MCC

In the past, the ring had a different name - the Moscow Circular Railway. The first mentions of it date back to the end of the 19th century, a time when the industrial boom was actively developing. Back then, goods were transported using dray cabs. The process required a lot of effort and time. That is why tycoon F.I. Chizhov proposed the idea of ​​​​building a ring road. On the one hand, it was just in time. But on the other hand, a number of problems arose.

As it turned out, the state owns only 5% of all railways. All others are private property. Each has its own rules and prices. It took a lot of time to resolve this issue. But by the end of the 19th century, most of the roads became state-owned.

The order for the construction of the Moscow Circular Railway was given by Emperor Nicholas II on November 7, 1897. The commencement ceremony took place on August 3, 1903.

Moscow MCC map of those times included several objects:

• 22 branches connecting to the main railway tracks;
• 14 stations;
• 2 stopping points;
• 3 telegraph posts;
• 72 bridges, including those that cross the Moscow River;
• 30 overpasses;
• 185 culvert structures;
• 19 buildings for passengers;
• 30 houses;
• 2 houses for employees;
• 2 baths;
• 2 reception rooms.

The work was carried out under the supervision of the best Russian engineers and architects. These include N. A. Belelyubsky, L. D. Proskuryakov, A. N. Pomerantsev.

Now MCC station map looks like that:

• 31 stations;
• 17 stations for transfer to other metro lines;
• 10 stations for transferring to trains.

More than 200,000,000,000 rubles were spent on the construction of the structure. The total length of roads is 54 km. The round trip will take 84 minutes. Each train running between stations can accommodate 1,200 passengers.

In fact, the MCC is part of the Moscow metro. In the documents it is designated as the Second Ring Line of the metro. This transport system is inextricably linked with it in the form of fares and transfers. On metro maps, routes are indicated by a white line with a red border. Each of them has the signature of the MCC and a serial number.

Transportation is carried out by more than three dozen Lastochka trains. Each of them accommodates 1,200 people. The maximum speed reaches 120 km/h, but the operating speed will remain at 40-50 km/h. Train intervals range from 5 to 15 minutes. It all depends on the time of day. During rush hour they will travel more often.

All Lastochkas are equipped with soft seats and climate control systems. Passengers have the opportunity to connect to WI-FI and even charge their gadgets.

Trains do not have vestibules. However, their wide double doors make it easy to transport passengers with limited mobility.

MCC has a lot of features and nuances. The figures below will help you see how ambitious the idea for its construction was.

1. The ring road, which later became the MCC, was built 111 years ago.
2. 130 pairs of trains pass here every day.
3. To establish regular traffic, the state had to spend more than 70 billion rubles.
4. Thanks to the work of the MCC, the Koltsevaya metro line has been decongested by 15%.
5. In the first year, 75 million people were transported by Lastochkas.
6. MCC provided citizens with 40,000 jobs.
7. There are car parks near most of the stations.
8. According to the plan, trains will be able to transport more than 300,000,000 people within a year.

Thanks to the ring, it was possible to significantly relieve urban transport.

So, MCC is a good alternative to cars. This is the absence of traffic jams, affordable travel costs and the ability to be punctual. Metro map with MCC will show how and at which station you can transfer to a train in the desired direction, and the availability of parking lots and convenient transition to the station will save both time and effort.

Interactive map of the Moscow Metro.

We promptly update our metro map, add all the Metro and Moscow Central Circle (MCC) stations that are being commissioned, mark those closed for a long period, and also plan to reflect (both on the map and in the calculations) temporary closures of metro sections, which are often carried out along on days off.

How to find the right station on the metro map:

• on the left is an index of all stations along the lines(optional - lines are highlighted on the diagram)
• follow the link “all stations” - index of metro stations alphabetically
• on the right - search form by name(you can enter the name incompletely)

When a station is selected using one of these methods, or directly on the metro map - a dialog appears, marking the location of the station on the metro map and containing:

• name of station and line to which it belongs (this will help distinguish stations of the same name)
• link “Details about the station”. By clicking on it, you will find out the operating schedule and interval of the current station, the location of its exits on a large-scale map of Moscow, ground transport routes to other transport hubs of the city, what infrastructure facilities are nearby, and other background information.
• list of buses, trolleybuses, trams— whose stops are located at the metro exits (each number is also a link to a separate page with a map and list of stops)
• buttons for building a route In the underground - From or Before this station

To calculate metro travel use these buttons, or enter station names in the form fields at the top left of the page (you can enter incomplete names).

Calculation will start automatically, as soon as both stations are clearly selected. If you typed the name manually and did not use auto-completion, use the button next to the form to start the calculation.

Calculation result - optimal route in terms of time and number of transfers. He stands out on the diagram, and on the left side of the page is displayed route plan.

Left button " Option 2" is displayed if an alternative route is found that is equal or slightly inferior to the first one. Sometimes one option will take longer, but will have fewer transitions. This is convenient for passengers with heavy luggage.

If there is a direct bus or trolleybus route between selected stations, we will offer it after the route plan.

Start over button will clear the selection and route plan. In order to save link to calculate between two current stations, copy it from the address bar (or add the page to your “Favorites”) of your browser before clicking this button.

Please note that the time required to descend to the platform/exit to the surface, as well as waiting for the train, is not taken into account. Therefore, to the calculated value add 10-15 minutes so as not to disrupt your plans.

Train station icons our metro map is also interactive - they not only indicate the relative positions of metro and railway stations, but also provide the opportunity to quickly find out the train schedule for each station or platform, as well as view interactive diagrams of suburban traffic.

Airport icons mark the transfer points for Aeroexpress trains and ground transport heading to the capital's airports.

Surely many have heard about the imminent launch of passenger traffic on the Moscow Ring Railway. But although the abbreviation MKR has recently been heard from all the irons controlled by the mayor’s office, it is not at all easy to find in one place brief information on the main issues of interest to a potential passenger. I came across this when I was recently preparing a publication on this topic. Therefore, since I had to find and collect all this information (from the city hall portal, the websites of Russian Railways and the Moscow Ring Railway, and from messages from the city government-owned publication m24.ru), I decided to make a short review post about the Moscow Ring Railway as a whole and specifically focus on what will change launch of passenger traffic along the ring for residents of Zelenograd and other settlements in the Leningrad direction.

First, a few words about history. The Small Ring of the Moscow Railway (that is what the Moscow Ring Railway was correctly called until recently) was built in 1903-1908. The road was originally intended for intracity and transit freight traffic, but at first it also carried passenger traffic, which was stopped in 1934.
People started talking about the return of passenger traffic to the Moscow Ring Railway almost immediately after Sobyanin’s arrival, and initially a much earlier date for its launch was mentioned. But, apparently, the project required a significantly more serious reconstruction of the infrastructure than seemed necessary at first glance, and its implementation dragged on for more than five years. They promise to launch electric train service in September 2016.

As you can see in the diagrams, the Moscow Ring Road has different distances from the center in different sections: in some places the road comes almost close to the metro ring line, in others it is a considerable distance away from it. There will be 31 stations on the Moscow Ring Railway, which will provide 17 transfers to 11 metro lines (including the future second subway ring) and 10 transfers to 9 radial railway directions. The issue of the construction of the 32nd station, Presnya, which is marked on some diagrams, is planned to be resolved later. I will add that one station, “Gagarin Square” on Leninsky Prospekt, will be underground - the rest will be above ground. I’ll also note that the names of some stops, in my opinion, are still floating around, so don’t be surprised if you suddenly find some inconsistencies in the diagrams.

In essence, the Moscow Ring Railway will become a ring line of the city train, integrated into the metro system. You can pay for travel on the above-ground ring with a metro ticket. At the same time, the transfer between the Moscow Ring Railway and the subway will be free for passengers if they do it within 15 minutes. Well, that is, apparently, both on the Moscow Ring Railway and in the metro you will have to go through the turnstiles, but if you did not go on a spree between them, the money (trips) will not be written off when you re-enter.
“Swallows” will be used as rolling stock on the ground ring. It is stated that during rush hours they will run at intervals of no more than 6 minutes, and in the future the intervals may be reduced.

Now, briefly about the transfer from the Moscow Ring Railway to the Leningrad direction. It will be carried out through the NATI platform, which until recently was the deadliest stopping point between Moscow and Zelenograd. The phrase “the train runs with all stops except NATI” in the minds of passengers meant “with all stops,” because no one stopped at NATI anyway. :) Now this platform promises to live a new life.
The thing is that 350 meters from it (if you count in a straight line), there is the Nikolaevskaya station of the Moscow Ring Railway. These two stopping points will be combined into a transport hub, for the construction of which the Moscow Urban Planning and Land Commission recently allocated a plot of 0.38 hectares. According to Moskomstroyinvest, in addition to the transport terminal, there will be areas for consumer services, public catering, and vehicle maintenance. I don’t know exactly what all this will look like. I can only appeal to pictures from the Moscow Ring Railway website, the relevance of which I am not sure.

The TPU scheme, for example, dates exactly from 2013 - perhaps something has changed in the plans since then.

I also don’t know what the situation is with the construction, but I seriously doubt that by September there will be such a healthy transport hub building with transitions there, because the message about the allocation of land for construction was only a few months ago. However, no matter when and in what form this transport hub is built, the opportunity to transfer from NATI to the Moscow Ring Railway should appear in September of this year. This means that Zelenograd residents (and our neighbors in the Leningrad direction) will have new options for laying routes to many districts of Moscow.
