If you could see Moscow from a cross-sectional perspective, you would see, quite literally, a breathtaking sight: the endless tunnels of the underground transportation network and the equally endlessly expanding metro. And, in recent years, the metro has been rapidly expanding beyond the once-familiar administrative boundaries of the city, extending its tentacles like an octopus into the Moscow region.

Especially today’s Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin report The capital’s “metro” will extend beyond the city’s borders and will pass through the territory of the Moscow region in seven directions. We are talking about the direction of two regions: Krasnogorsk, Khimki, Mytishchi, Balashikha, Odintsovo and Leninsky districts.
As Sobyanin rightly pointed out, Moscow and the Moscow region were historically a single agglomeration with about 20 million inhabitants, who not only had families but also economic interests in both regions.
The above-mentioned projects will not be implemented soon and will not start until after 2030. Until then, the metro needs to be developed within the Moscow Ring Road and within the borders of the capital’s Novovovsky and Troitsky administrative districts. A few days ago, let us remind you that the first section of the 17th Rublevo-Arkhangelsk metro line in Moscow was opened to traffic.
