I live in Moscow, and its so great to see foreign documentaries about the city. I hope more tourists will come to see Moscow by their own eyes, because its really worth it.)
I've been to your city and St. Peterburg in September 2014 and I love it. I keep telling to my friends to go and visit because it's a place I would go back again. At that time I didn't see any transliteration in metro system and in the most part of the city of Moscow but it wasn't a problem for me. My only regret was not speak a little more russian than the obvious to interact better with you guys. My visit worth every penny.

The efficiency of the Moscow Metro is just amazing. Public transport is much better than cars and I wish more of the world was able to realize this, especially Americans
I wish they had filmed it at Borovitskaya station in which four different lines connect. That's super busy. As foreigner living in Moscow, it truly is safe, clean and efficient. 🇧🇷🇷🇺❤️

90 seconds in rush hours only tho, in the middle of the day it is more like 2,5 minutes, and late night, up to 3-4 minutes, and even larger intervals past midnight.

Not only Moscow Underground but the trams, buses on the ground work precisely. The taxi network is very efficient too. 99% of Moscow resident are very hard working. I used all forms of travel in the city when i was there last year. One thing which missed in the documentary that the train announcement inside when station is approaching is bilingual in Russian and English. As soon as you deboard a train, the signage below are also having english names of the place in english scripts. In just one hour, i got used to this efficient metro system. Only thing was between stations, you have to walk a lot. Another thing was discipline in the escalator and boarding and deboarding into trains. I liked the city. Well no one talks english and is good other wise Russians would have taken every job on earth.
Нет, трамвайная сеть это позор москвы, ломиком переключают стрелки машинисты, расписание не отрегулировано, пути застряли в 50-х годах прошлого века (как и стрелки), на светофорах всех стоит трамвай, а должен ехать. То есть сфетофоры не отрегулированы под него. Ну и чаще всего трамвайная инфраструктура не обособлена.
In my experience and view, the Moscow Metro - Subway system is one of the very best systems in the world. The station designs are non paralleled, and they look like museums or art galleries! Bravo, Moskva!
By the way, this train model (produced in Moscow Region) starts use in Tashkent Metro (Uzbekistan). Unfortunately, in my city, in St. Petersburg's Metro, new metro trains are another model - older and not so excellent... 😢
@@msilvoli I agree with you, but my favorite metro train is Neva - modern Russian-Czech co-produced train. This model partly operated on the St. Petersburg's Metro Line 3 (green line). But most new metro cars there are another model - they are not so good.
I visited here during the former soviet Union times [1986 and 8199], and I can confirm, some of the stations are quite beautiful, and the people were very friendly and helpful.. Thanks for posting.
OMG That's the most perfect documentary I've ever seen. It's full and accurate and show everythig and every aspect. Definetely I'll watch more videos from this chanel
It isn't full at all. No mention of the Central Circle which is part of the Metro system just operated by another company, same with the Monorail. They're functionally the same as the other metro lines and require the same one ticket. Would be worth to mention the Central Diameters also, they're an extension of the Metro
Moscow is bigger than London and Paris more people BUT the Metro is veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy clean the stations also the trains and NO publicity on the trains i really love it
as you can see, they have to take the breathalyzer test before a shift, however it was suddenly discovered a while ago that some of the drivers would get clattered whilst in the actual train, so they have to take a breathalyzer after a shift as well now.
I always use Moscow Metro when I'm in Moscow. It's incredibly great! Trains arrive about every 3 minutes (every 90 seconds - on the busiest time). Change between lines is so easy, I can even enter the exact train car just to save time when I walk to other line's station!
It actually depends on the line. 90 sec is a Soviet standard still used. Actually, it can even be faster than 90 secs during rush hours, I often catch intervals up to just 40 secs when I travel back from my university siring the evening rush hour. In the morning though, on Sokolnicheskaya line, another train comes just 15 secs after the other left, but it stops by on the station forboarding purposes. One of them comes full since it travels from the very south part of the line, the other one comes completely empty since Salarievo station is the station where overcrowding begins on Sockolnicheskaya line, so they send an empty train that doesn't take passengers untill that station right next to the other train. The busiest station of this line is, of course, Yugo-Zapadnaya, because there are hella lot of Universities located, but on Salarievo, the train stops by for longer since that's where the boarding truly begins
Watched an episode on Tokyo Metro, love the difference of style between russian and japanese staff. I experienced a similar contrast when flying on Aeroflot from Osaka.
I genuinely despise the woman responsible for that high-pitch voice-over. Can't remember the womans name in the Doc, but oh my god her voice-over made me wanna commit.
Fun fact: the writing on the train at 6:10 reads, "Ada Lovelace". There are many thematic trains in Moscow Metro dedicated to all sorts of historical and cultural events, exhibitions, places of interest, etc. This one is apparently called "Future Science", is a part of UK-Russia Year of Science and Education 2017, and features famous British and Russian scientists and inventors that moved the world forward in some way or another. Ada Lovelace is accompanied by scientists like Alan Turing, Stephen Hawking, Jocelyn Burnell, Sergei Korolev, Nikolai Basov, and others.
This is so cool to see such documentaries, especially when you're from Moscow and have been riding this Metro almost your entire life :D. I also really like the fact that you showed the most modern trains that we have here, they are indeed really cool, comfortable, and functional. I actually had an accident in the Metro, I was riding the train and somehow my earring fell off and I lost it.. or so I though. Two days later I called into the 'lost things' of the Metro, told them which line that I was riding and they actually had my earring already found and I had it back :)
I personally got my bag chewed by the automatic doors, when rushed into wagon one and all my belongings got spread all across the station's line. And you know, what? A immediately came back and bothered all the metro-workers around to help me. They gave me some kind of telescopic grab-stick so I can pick up my wide-spread stuff between the train-arrivals! I managed this metro-fishing quite well exclude some things, that rolled too far. And then, I had literally to lay down on the floor, 2 policemen hold my legs and i stretched as far, as my whole body can to reach the most distant things, hah! The whole scene was hilarious as hell, and I get my pants cracked, but have gathered all the spread belongings. Just another day in Moscow metro...
Really interesting!. I always admired the Moscow metro and love seeing vids of it online. it is nice to see the behind the scenes as to the people that make it run efficiently.
Moscow Metro is definitely a masterpiece, specially when it comes to coordination and thorough thinking. Yet, if you wanna see even most beautiful art than the one available at these stations, then you must visit St. Petersburg
I live in Moscow all my life and I remember the good old days when my mom and I used to go to the Metro every day to get to preschool courses. It is very interesting to see a documentary film about Moscow Metropolitan, that many people didn’t see in real life, but you see it every day! After graduating from the university, I will get a job in Moscow Metro, because I want to preserve its superiority.
It's not that big if you think that for example the Munich metro has 100 stations for about 1.5 million inhabitants, while Moscow only has 269 for about 12 million (thank you Ivan) residents. However only the amount of stations isn't a measurement of magnificentness of a metro network - for example the Moscow metro has wider platforms and a higher frequency of trains than the Munich one
@@victornderu143 Well Paris is a whole different story, it is very old and the residents wanted to get rid of the trams in favour of the metro. The network is more than great for only 2 million residents. The problems of the metro are the aging rolling stock (some are from the 50s), the dirty air due to the air-filled tires of the trains (which can also be considered as an advantage due to the smoother ride) and many VERY dirty stations. Most problems are the result of limited funding for the system - which kind of could be expected for a city of this size featuring such an extensive network. Paris metro definitely has the potential of being a world-class metro system, if funding for the maintaining costs increases. For comparison to Paris you could take Hamburg, whose metro only has 93 stations for s similar city population. And many people think that this is not enough. And Hamburgs system is old as well and they got rid of their trams as well - which leaves the city at a lower-class network.
Дежурная по станции молодец, сама всё осматривает, в каждую щель заглядывает, и это правильно, за безопасностью за которую отвечаешь, особенно сейчас, лучше следить самому и хорошо.
Hi, I'm planning to go to Wien with my wife in December. What should I do, which routes should I take to get the best experience of Viennese tram system? Thanks.
@@themorris5620 oh thank you! I come from a land where the only trams you have are the few remaining routes left from the Soviet era, with railcars 30 to 40 years old, and rails in extremely poor condition. Riding a modern tram is a treat to us.
@@johndavidson4127 In Switzerland the delays for intercity trains are quite common on a daily basis. The light metro versions in the Swiss cities, or trams, run more reliably. But still, the short intervals between the trains/trams, like in Moscow metro are a dream. This, of course, have to take into the account, that the transportation system in Switzerland is not underground, except for transit tunnels, thus more susceptible to the external factors, causing delays. The only European metro system, that is close in its efficiency, elegancy and cleanliness to Moscow metro is in Athens. It is very small, and is not comparable in scale, but for such a small system Greeks made it almost as perfect, as in Moscow. Switzerland is amazing for it's mountain trains and funiculairs, that is for sure. There are small metros at high altitude ski stations, entirely built in the mountains, with very steep angles. So - no uniform comparison could be made. Each country has it's best in something, then it comes to transport. I do not know, if it helps to maintain the stereotypes with these details, though :-).
Until 2010, Moskow metro had more km of railway than Romania had motorways, lol. I've never had the pleasure to be on the Moskow metro, but I've stayed in St Petersburg for a month as an international student. If anyone wants a scale of how deep the metro there is, well, for most of the stations, you would spend more time on the escalators getting down than waiting for the train. And you could safely skip a train and wait for the next(I've seen that there are some newer stations, mostly towards the end of the lines, that have a much shallower depth, maybe due to economic reasons)
Soil in the city center is an engineer's nightmare. You have to dig deep, if you want subway to last long, and even after that you have to be very careful… Like with unfortunate “Lesnaya” - “Ploschand Muzhestva” tunnels, which inspired a first Soviet disaster film :)
What reason you have to compare your metropolitane railways with Romanian motorway?,your country it’s full of mafia,corruption,shit Lada cars and very poor economy, from American economic embargo!!!!
Liviu Diaconescu well, Romania is unfortunately the poorest country of Europe and it must be taken as a good reason to improve. And as I hear someone who is talking about sanctions I know perfectly sure he's got a very vague idea what's going on in Russia. In brief they have almost no effect. Just come and see yourself: Moscow has got in fact one of the best and most modern transportation systems (and what's important - one of the biggest) in the world
i had no idea of any of the details, the details about WWII, I am really surprised this is not discussed more. Amazing art and amazingly precise, and for sure if the USA had something like this, they'd never STFU about it!
The "Moscow" trains are so freaking cool. I mean this red and blue model is really called "Moskva" if translated correctly are so quiet and smooth and very informative if you don't know where to go next. Hope they will be used on all lines soon cause now they are used only on the most loaded ones♥️
Simply impressive! Thanks for making this documentary. Congrats to all the employees making this possible. Hope to visit Moscow someday & ride its metro.
It’s fairly easy actually. Horizontal axis is a time axis, Vertical grid lines are stations along the metro line, so actual graphs (diagonal zig zags) are each individual train’s schedule and actual time of arrival.
Also echt schöne und saubere Stationen und super organisiert !!,👍Jeder hat bei der Arbeit volle Verantwortung bei uns wird einfach die Zeit vertrieben !!!Bravo Moskau!!!!👏👏👏
The most incredible things is even moscow metro trains and system itself is every aged, but they are running at such small interval-90s is still impossible even we use CBTC moving block and ATO automatic train operation in HK and Beijing, which we can only achieve around 100s~120s interval.
Most of the Metro trains have been replaced with new ones. Aircondition, TV, fair enough with City related things and advertising. USB loading docks. And of course FREE WIFI on the whole system, never mind how deep it is..
@@fhs7838 There was ATO prototype for PSDs in Petersburg,but now it is turned off because drivers were watching in their phones while ATO is operating the train. But yeah, this is great that system like that which is not a high tech metro operating on time.
Moscow metro trains are equipped with a system similar to ATO/ATP. Its called ALS-ARS (Automatic locomotive signalisation with automatic speed reduce). This system allows the train to travel at rated speed and at the same time ensures safety.
Приезжайте, Путин подписал указ жителям США Канады Австралии Европы дают вид на жительство. Но жилье в Москве стоит дорого, дешевле Нью Йорка конечно, но не сильно. Аренда дешевле. Если иметь любой пассивный доход из своей страны (пенсия и.т.д) в России можно жить хорошо, цены на все значительно ниже а базовая медицина бесплатна. Но без знания русского делать нечего, английский никто не знает.
So many absolutely stupid people who just can't imagine that this huge system works perfectly and trains are always in time and 9 million people can use it. If you don't believe just go to Moscow and look by your eyes. Moscow metro is a fantastic world that does its job smoothly and correctly, trains go every minute in mornings and evenings, there is information both in Russian and English language, there is no rubbish, unpolite workers or policemen.
Moscow is other city that's in my travel plan, I hope it draw me out as well as what I'm watching it seem an excellent city, one important thing to a city to be beautiful is the traffic solution and the clean what represents. Congratulations Moscow.
Dear!!! The lenght of the tracks of the Moscow metro is non of 365km!!!!! 1) 365km is only lenght of lines!!!!! Every line consists of 2 tracks!!! But even these data is old. It was actual 5-6 years ago! Now we have 394km! So we have 394 km line lenght * 2 tracks = 788 km!!!!!!! 2) Every metro has plus 10-15% auxiliary underground tracks. And Moskow`s too! So we have 788 * 10% = 78 km!!!!! 3) Besides that every metro has depot tracks. Every depot yusually has 20-30 tracks with 200-400 meters. Moskow merto has 20 depots and every of them is very large! So, total depot track lenght 20 depots * 30 tracks * 0.3 km = 180 km! So, total lenght of the tracks of the Moscow metro is 788 + 78 + 180 = 1046 km !!! Of course it is approximate calculation (+-20 km). But it is close to the truth!!!
After ive played the Metro games Metro 2033, Last light and Exodus I've been fascinated about the metro. I actually didn't think it was as big it is in the games/books but it really is huge.
Well, considering the official average income of a Moscow citizen is about a thousand dollars (the minimal wage is about 300), it's a pretty fair price, but not exactly low one.
There was a thing with Line 5's Komsomolskaya station that they didn't explain. One of the escalators to the ground was taken apart for the maintenance. That's why the staff had to close the exit completely - they usually leave one escalator to the ground at this time. Same with the evening rush hour. One escalator is normally available for the entrance, but at that time, they had to route people through Line 1's station.
No, they close it anyway. During the rush hours all escalators work in one direction despite one is on maintenance or not. Komsomolskaya is really very crowded and they really have to make those restrictions. Trust me, I have used this transport hub for more than a year:) Cheers!
Whole population of Slovakia in 3 times less than population of Moscow. While real amount of people in Moscow even more regards to workers from suburban area and tourists (25 millions / year).
But, I'm sure the whole Bratislava would appreciate that. Traffic there is really bad. Trams have long delays, they are also slow like snails, buses too, cars are stuck in traffic minimum 45 minutes. Bratislava really needs subway.
@@matejnosal3937 Hi, Slovakia,🤗 The modern proved scientific approach: Bratislava has less than 500.000 people, so the metro is too pricey for that amount of the city's population in comparison with LRT, light rail transport, which is more cost-effective in that case. The answer: 1. Prohibiting of driving on tram tracks. 2. Upgrading and expanding of the tram/LRT park. 3. Expanding and modernizing of the whole tram system (except trams there are also tracks; creating automatic interaction of LRT with traffic lights,...). 4. Creating separated lanes exclusively for the public transport in the city center (whole center of partially). 5. Expanding of trolley and bus parks. 6. Optimizing public transport routs. 7. Prohibiting of parking in some places. 8. Reducing of parking lots in the center of the city. 9. Implementing of the paid parking in the city center (fully or partially). 10. Raising of parking charges, until there is no significant traffic congestions. 11. Periodical correcting (rising/lowering) of parking charges, depending on the situation on the roads. 12. Promoting usage of bikes and electric scooters.
Absolutely beautiful metro system. So said that Russia and the European countries are not working together mutch more. Together they would be economic world leaders.
wonder indeed why the shot is blurred. because the inside of the station is indeed that time. that is when the Metro is opening... there could be one thing though, the clock on the tower is not working and might give therefore a wrong impression. Greetings from Moscow.
@@freshname also a possibility! But from what i know Moscow, except for the kremlin, most of these tower clocks are not working or show different times on all corners...
@@benediktmorak4409 omg, no! I mean, i AM from Moscow and... Maybe I haven't been paying attention... But this one is definitely showing the right time every time, because people with all their arrivals and departures depend on that clock. Al least I do. I always check the time there before I go on train on that station. Also: there are simply too many people walking on the square considering it's supposed to be 5:30 in the morning. An the sun is just too high. Not even in the summer it could've been so high.
All the while, I have been seeing old run-down trains by Western media and some Russian youtubers as if that's the only thing you find there. Thank you for the credit you have given the Russians on this documentary.

The busiest station of this line is, of course, Yugo-Zapadnaya, because there are hella lot of Universities located, but on Salarievo, the train stops by for longer since that's where the boarding truly begins
Watched an episode on Tokyo Metro, love the difference of style between russian and japanese staff. I experienced a similar contrast when flying on Aeroflot from Osaka.
of course, there should be a difference, it is like a whole colour spectrum, otherwise the world would be boring.

Fun fact: the writing on the train at 6:10 reads, "Ada Lovelace". There are many thematic trains in Moscow Metro dedicated to all sorts of historical and cultural events, exhibitions, places of interest, etc. This one is apparently called "Future Science", is a part of UK-Russia Year of Science and Education 2017, and features famous British and Russian scientists and inventors that moved the world forward in some way or another. Ada Lovelace is accompanied by scientists like Alan Turing, Stephen Hawking, Jocelyn Burnell, Sergei Korolev, Nikolai Basov, and others.
This is so cool to see such documentaries, especially when you're from Moscow and have been riding this Metro almost your entire life :D. I also really like the fact that you showed the most modern trains that we have here, they are indeed really cool, comfortable, and functional. I actually had an accident in the Metro, I was riding the train and somehow my earring fell off and I lost it.. or so I though. Two days later I called into the 'lost things' of the Metro, told them which line that I was riding and they actually had my earring already found and I had it back :)
I personally got my bag chewed by the automatic doors, when rushed into wagon one and all my belongings got spread all across the station's line.
And you know, what?
A immediately came back and bothered all the metro-workers around to help me.
They gave me some kind of telescopic grab-stick so I can pick up my wide-spread stuff between the train-arrivals!
I managed this metro-fishing quite well exclude some things, that rolled too far.
And then, I had literally to lay down on the floor, 2 policemen hold my legs and i stretched as far, as my whole body can to reach the most distant things, hah!
The whole scene was hilarious as hell, and I get my pants cracked, but have gathered all the spread belongings.
Just another day in Moscow metro...
Informative. Professionally written and narrated. Impressive amount of footage. Good dubbing. Coolest Metro. Respect to all involved.
I wouldn't mess with those female station managers, probably beat the hell out of me.

I used to work for Moscow Metro as a photographer and had to deal with those station managers. They're nice people, just very busy and concentrated.

Never seen such subway 🚇 station 🚉 with such a crowded schedule and safety system is awesome 👏.
22:39 There's no "Kurskaya line". There's "train towards Kurskaya station".
Lol nice name.
Tbh I'm impressed with that metro system ... didn't expect such high safety standards and that they are on time to such a high percentage
Really interesting!. I always admired the Moscow metro and love seeing vids of it online. it is nice to see the behind the scenes as to the people that make it run efficiently.
I LOVE the circumferential rapid transit lines of Moscow! Model for major US cities with hub and spoke metro systems. Such great network effects
Moscow Metro is definitely a masterpiece, specially when it comes to coordination and thorough thinking. Yet, if you wanna see even most beautiful art than the one available at these stations, then you must visit St. Petersburg
shoo, piterets, shoo
I live in Moscow all my life and I remember the good old days when my mom and I used to go to the Metro every day to get to preschool courses.
It is very interesting to see a documentary film about Moscow Metropolitan, that many people didn’t see in real life, but you see it every day!
After graduating from the university, I will get a job in Moscow Metro, because I want to preserve its superiority.
(200+ Stations) The scale of that system is just Magnificent.
The documentary is old, because at moment of publication Moscow metro contains 269 stations, not 212
It's not that big if you think that for example the Munich metro has 100 stations for about 1.5 million inhabitants, while Moscow only has 269 for about 12 million (thank you Ivan) residents. However only the amount of stations isn't a measurement of magnificentness of a metro network - for example the Moscow metro has wider platforms and a higher frequency of trains than the Munich one
@@connectingwings7212 You have a point. I also learnt that Paris has about 300 stations so there is a lot more to this.
@@connectingwings7212 11.98 millions in Moscow itself + 10 millions in 100 km radius
@@victornderu143 Well Paris is a whole different story, it is very old and the residents wanted to get rid of the trams in favour of the metro. The network is more than great for only 2 million residents. The problems of the metro are the aging rolling stock (some are from the 50s), the dirty air due to the air-filled tires of the trains (which can also be considered as an advantage due to the smoother ride) and many VERY dirty stations. Most problems are the result of limited funding for the system - which kind of could be expected for a city of this size featuring such an extensive network. Paris metro definitely has the potential of being a world-class metro system, if funding for the maintaining costs increases.
For comparison to Paris you could take Hamburg, whose metro only has 93 stations for s similar city population. And many people think that this is not enough. And Hamburgs system is old as well and they got rid of their trams as well - which leaves the city at a lower-class network.
I am a Muscovite. This is my homeland. I am a metrofanate and I adore Moscow, Russia and of course the Moscow metro.

Aha! I knew it! This documentary is 1 year old cus Savelovskaya station has already opened in December 31,2018.
May be they gathered information and filmed for a year.........
And the number of stations is bigger than 212
December 30, 2018 actually.
I have already seen it, but I am not sure if in English or German
I love the old train, it makes me remind my childhood in Budapest, where they use blue painted trains operated in M3
same
Those trains are named "Ev" or "Ev3", and were made specially for Budapest by the same factory, what produced old moscow trains.
The metro is so beautiful nowadays we have new modern trains, I love MOSCOW transport system.
20:46 As a viennese tram driver I have to agree. Get on the bloody thing or don't, but do not block the doors, it's causing a lot of delay!
There is delays in Austria ? If you tell me that Switzerland also have delays - I will loose all my trust to stereotypes about Europe's nations.
Hi, I'm planning to go to Wien with my wife in December. What should I do, which routes should I take to get the best experience of Viennese tram system? Thanks.
It doesn't really matter which tram you take, but the most beautiful lines in my opinion are 1 and 2 around the Ring-Street
@@themorris5620 oh thank you! I come from a land where the only trams you have are the few remaining routes left from the Soviet era, with railcars 30 to 40 years old, and rails in extremely poor condition. Riding a modern tram is a treat to us.
@@johndavidson4127 In Switzerland the delays for intercity trains are quite common on a daily basis. The light metro versions in the Swiss cities, or trams, run more reliably. But still, the short intervals between the trains/trams, like in Moscow metro are a dream. This, of course, have to take into the account, that the transportation system in Switzerland is not underground, except for transit tunnels, thus more susceptible to the external factors, causing delays. The only European metro system, that is close in its efficiency, elegancy and cleanliness to Moscow metro is in Athens. It is very small, and is not comparable in scale, but for such a small system Greeks made it almost as perfect, as in Moscow. Switzerland is amazing for it's mountain trains and funiculairs, that is for sure. There are small metros at high altitude ski stations, entirely built in the mountains, with very steep angles. So - no uniform comparison could be made. Each country has it's best in something, then it comes to transport. I do not know, if it helps to maintain the stereotypes with these details, though :-).
I love you Moscow. Best month of my life. Badass
I'm from Moscow, I love Moscow metro, всё-таки приятно посмотреть документальный фильм про метро, в котором ездишь почти каждые три дня

Glory to Kurdistan! I have my best friend from Turkey, she is Kurd
Thankyou sooo much i was that delivery boy . It was a great time ❤
Drivers having checkups before each run just shows a high set of standards by the Russians.
They are just making sure they are sober because if they didn't check they would all be drunk.
I miss Moscow, what a great city it is. Graduated a year ago
Until 2010, Moskow metro had more km of railway than Romania had motorways, lol.
I've never had the pleasure to be on the Moskow metro, but I've stayed in St Petersburg for a month as an international student. If anyone wants a scale of how deep the metro there is, well, for most of the stations, you would spend more time on the escalators getting down than waiting for the train. And you could safely skip a train and wait for the next(I've seen that there are some newer stations, mostly towards the end of the lines, that have a much shallower depth, maybe due to economic reasons)
Soil in the city center is an engineer's nightmare. You have to dig deep, if you want subway to last long, and even after that you have to be very careful… Like with unfortunate “Lesnaya” - “Ploschand Muzhestva” tunnels, which inspired a first Soviet disaster film :)
@@Snakeclaw7 I should probably do some research for it. After my exams.
What reason you have to compare your metropolitane railways with Romanian motorway?,your country it’s full of mafia,corruption,shit Lada cars and very poor economy, from American economic embargo!!!!
Liviu Diaconescu well, Romania is unfortunately the poorest country of Europe and it must be taken as a good reason to improve. And as I hear someone who is talking about sanctions I know perfectly sure he's got a very vague idea what's going on in Russia. In brief they have almost no effect. Just come and see yourself: Moscow has got in fact one of the best and most modern transportation systems (and what's important - one of the biggest) in the world
@@liviudiaconescu2628 My country is Romania.

Hi,🤗
Where do you get those icons? Awesome.
Congratulations to Moscva from Athens.
Спасибо! Congratulations to Athens from Moscow
The "Moscow" trains are so freaking cool. I mean this red and blue model is really called "Moskva" if translated correctly are so quiet and smooth and very informative if you don't know where to go next. Hope they will be used on all lines soon cause now they are used only on the most loaded ones♥️
It will take 5-6 years i think, to change all old trains. They buy 500-600 new cars every year. And there are about 3000 old cars now.
Simply impressive! Thanks for making this documentary. Congrats to all the employees making this possible.
Hope to visit Moscow someday & ride its metro.
80 years and no accident, what a sucessful country
Wow, amazingly beautiful, thank you so much 👍👍👍
8:54 Wow, what a graph!! I wanna learn how to read them. Looks like a kind of timetable... impressive!
It’s fairly easy actually. Horizontal axis is a time axis, Vertical grid lines are stations along the metro line, so actual graphs (diagonal zig zags) are each individual train’s schedule and actual time of arrival.
I love my metro. Incredible convenience, cleanliness, safety and speed. Sometimes it is 2 times faster to get by metro than by car.

Danke, ihr Deutche, für die Spitzqualitätsdokus wie dieses!🇷🇺🤝🇩🇪
The most incredible things is even moscow metro trains and system itself is every aged, but they are running at such small interval-90s is still impossible even we use CBTC moving block and ATO automatic train operation in HK and Beijing, which we can only achieve around 100s~120s interval.
Most of the Metro trains have been replaced with new ones. Aircondition, TV, fair enough with City related things and advertising. USB loading docks. And of course FREE WIFI on the whole system, never mind how deep it is..
There is no ATO in Moscow. But so many things were in St. Peterburg. For example platform screen doors were installed in 70s there.
@@megalifts Even without ATO, still reached 90s, that's incredible!
@@fhs7838 There was ATO prototype for PSDs in Petersburg,but now it is turned off because drivers were watching in their phones while ATO is operating the train. But yeah, this is great that system like that which is not a high tech metro operating on time.
Moscow metro trains are equipped with a system similar to ATO/ATP. Its called ALS-ARS (Automatic locomotive signalisation with automatic speed reduce). This system allows the train to travel at rated speed and at the same time ensures safety.
My Russian student describes this as: "monster metro" and I can see why. The wonders of Engineering.
I dream to live in Moscow
Приезжайте, Путин подписал указ жителям США Канады Австралии Европы дают вид на жительство. Но жилье в Москве стоит дорого, дешевле Нью Йорка конечно, но не сильно. Аренда дешевле. Если иметь любой пассивный доход из своей страны (пенсия и.т.д) в России можно жить хорошо, цены на все значительно ниже а базовая медицина бесплатна. Но без знания русского делать нечего, английский никто не знает.
Every day I use this metro to get to work and get home from work. nice documentary!
So many absolutely stupid people who just can't imagine that this huge system works perfectly and trains are always in time and 9 million people can use it. If you don't believe just go to Moscow and look by your eyes. Moscow metro is a fantastic world that does its job smoothly and correctly, trains go every minute in mornings and evenings, there is information both in Russian and English language, there is no rubbish, unpolite workers or policemen.
Your comment is so unpolite...
Please shut up and never speak.
@@Albertchua88 I don't see anything unpolite about the post, but it is polite to learn the language before commenting ;)
There is lots of policemen lol. Way more than necessary and they tend to harass anyone who doesn't look "Russian".

there is no traffic solution in Moscow. it has one of the worst traffic in the world
Dear!!! The lenght of the tracks of the Moscow metro is non of 365km!!!!!
1) 365km is only lenght of lines!!!!! Every line consists of 2 tracks!!! But even these data is old. It was actual 5-6 years ago! Now we have 394km!
So we have 394 km line lenght * 2 tracks = 788 km!!!!!!!
2) Every metro has plus 10-15% auxiliary underground tracks. And Moskow`s too!
So we have 788 * 10% = 78 km!!!!!
3) Besides that every metro has depot tracks. Every depot yusually has 20-30 tracks with 200-400 meters.
Moskow merto has 20 depots and every of them is very large! So, total depot track lenght 20 depots * 30 tracks * 0.3 km = 180 km!
So, total lenght of the tracks of the Moscow metro is 788 + 78 + 180 = 1046 km !!!
Of course it is approximate calculation (+-20 km). But it is close to the truth!!!
Какая есть официальная информация о длине пути, такую и сказали, то есть в обе стороны и без учёта чисто служебных линий.
Totally inaccurate... They didn't even mention Artyom or the mutants once!
It's in 13 years, we have to wait for this one
But they mentioned 'Pavel"! Although he is not working the "Red Line" here.

After ive played the Metro games Metro 2033, Last light and Exodus I've been fascinated about the metro. I actually didn't think it was as big it is in the games/books but it really is huge.
Well, it's approximately the size of the city (:
English movies always depict Russia in a wrong way totally different from what we see in this doc
75 cents per trip, that's a very good price
Well, considering the official average income of a Moscow citizen is about a thousand dollars (the minimal wage is about 300), it's a pretty fair price, but not exactly low one.
Beautiful system
There was a thing with Line 5's Komsomolskaya station that they didn't explain. One of the escalators to the ground was taken apart for the maintenance. That's why the staff had to close the exit completely - they usually leave one escalator to the ground at this time. Same with the evening rush hour. One escalator is normally available for the entrance, but at that time, they had to route people through Line 1's station.
No, they close it anyway. During the rush hours all escalators work in one direction despite one is on maintenance or not. Komsomolskaya is really very crowded and they really have to make those restrictions. Trust me, I have used this transport hub for more than a year:) Cheers!
Ew a weeb

Greetings from Slovakia, where is no subway. How shame
Whole population of Slovakia in 3 times less than population of Moscow. While real amount of people in Moscow even more regards to workers from suburban area and tourists (25 millions / year).
But, I'm sure the whole Bratislava would appreciate that. Traffic there is really bad. Trams have long delays, they are also slow like snails, buses too, cars are stuck in traffic minimum 45 minutes. Bratislava really needs subway.
@@matejnosal3937
Hi, Slovakia,🤗
The modern proved scientific approach:
Bratislava has less than 500.000 people, so the metro is too pricey for that amount of the city's population in comparison with LRT, light rail transport, which is more cost-effective in that case.
The answer:
1. Prohibiting of driving on tram tracks.
2. Upgrading and expanding of the tram/LRT park.
3. Expanding and modernizing of the whole tram system (except trams there are also tracks; creating automatic interaction of LRT with traffic lights,...).
4. Creating separated lanes exclusively for the public transport in the city center (whole center of partially).
5. Expanding of trolley and bus parks.
6. Optimizing public transport routs.
7. Prohibiting of parking in some places.
8. Reducing of parking lots in the center of the city.
9. Implementing of the paid parking in the city center (fully or partially).
10. Raising of parking charges, until there is no significant traffic congestions.
11. Periodical correcting (rising/lowering) of parking charges, depending on the situation on the roads.
12. Promoting usage of bikes and electric scooters.
Subways are only effective for enormous cities with over 5 mil citizens. In Bratislava it's useless.

wonder indeed why the shot is blurred. because the inside of the station is indeed that time. that is when the Metro is opening... there could be one thing though, the clock on the tower is not working and might give therefore a wrong impression. Greetings from Moscow.
Maybe they did not film the train terminal tower at 5:30 am, but the openin of the metro system every day does look like that.
@@freshname also a possibility! But from what i know Moscow, except for the kremlin, most of these tower clocks are not working or show different times on all corners...
@@benediktmorak4409 omg, no! I mean, i AM from Moscow and... Maybe I haven't been paying attention... But this one is definitely showing the right time every time, because people with all their arrivals and departures depend on that clock. Al least I do. I always check the time there before I go on train on that station.
Also: there are simply too many people walking on the square considering it's supposed to be 5:30 in the morning. An the sun is just too high. Not even in the summer it could've been so high.
