Metro operating mode in Moscow

The Moscow Metro has a basic schedulework: from 05:20 until 01:00. Some stations open slightly earlier or a little later, others close later. As a rule, earlier open stations located in the city center, within the ring line, they also work a little longer. But the last station of the subway can open and a little later. The ring line stations themselves open at 5:30. In the evening, the last train from the last metro station leaves at exactly 01:00 (sometimes for a few minutes later), after that the station closes for entry and works only on the exit. In the center of the station they work somewhat longer. To leave the center on the outskirts can be approximately until 01:30, it is at this time the train usually crosses the ring line. It is better to still arrive a little early, if you need somewhere to get to later. You should not choose the last train for the trip if you are going to make a transfer in the center. The transition may already be closed, or at the transplant station it will be found out that the last train has already gone in the next direction. Even if the trains at the transplant stations still go, the escalators stop working exactly at one o'clock in the morning, like the escalators to the underground entrance. In some holidays the city government decides to extend the time of operation of the metro. For example, stations can be opened for entry until 02:00 or 02:30 hours of the night. The train traffic interval is, on average, 2.5 minutes, but during peak hours the trains are more suitable. Sometimes the gap between them reaches one and a half minutes. In the evening, the interval, on the contrary, lengthens, and can sometimes reach 10 minutes.

If you are counting the time the train moves, thenUse the special service Yandex, with its help you can calculate the time on the road with an accuracy of a minute. But keep in mind that this site does not always expect a transplant precisely, often it takes more time. Also, lay down an extra few minutes if your trip is at rush hour: at this time there are so many people on the subway that queues for escalators or to subway cars are formed. The Moscow Metro works extremely accurately, the train schedule is almost 100% complete.
