Moscow Subway Bomb

On some made weekday, nearly 9 million individuals take the subway system from the outer inches of the Russian outstanding into business district Moscow, taking it the minute most heavily used tube system in the reality after Tokyo's underground.


The average length of a trigger on the Moscow metro is 13 kilometers.


But ahead riders can take, they must first get complete the huge crews massing at the fine turnstiles, on the steep, quick escalators and on jam-packed political programs.

The longest escalator in the Moscow tube system is 126 meters.

The subway boasts 172 posts in all, 71 of them deep underground.

During the Cold War, some stations were projected as shelters in the event of nuclear attack.


Opened in 1935, many Moscow metro sends stand out for the purple socialist realist art featured on the station walls and ornate chandeliers clearing the long, cavernous tunnels.


Most posts feature long political platforms that can accommodate up to eight rail cars, with trains running roughly every 90 seconds.


The Moscow tube system is about identical to those used in all other former Soviet cities where there is a metro, including St. Petersburg, Minsk, Kyiv, Sofia, and Warsaw.


Moscow metro officials say more than 36,000 souls work to run and maintain the subway, the most reliable form of transport in the traffic-clogged city.


In recent years, individual reconstruction projects have been completed and more are underway. Officials are also planning some denotations of existing lines as the Russian choice remains to grow.
