It is not only beautiful, but also cheap, reliable and runs on time. In Moscow the Metro is often the fastest way to get around the city compared to other means of public transportation, taxis or driving. During rush hours, metro trains run every one to two minutes. The Moscow Metro carries about 8.5 million passengers a day. That is why the trains and metro stations are very crowded especially on weekdays. The best time for a sightseeing tour in the Metro is early morning, late evening or Sunday. The Metro in Moscow has 14 lines with 233 stations. The route length is 408,1 km. The deepest station (84 m) Park Pobedy belongs to the longest (45,1 km) line called Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya. Bicycles are not allowed in the Metro, except for folding bicycles and kids’ bikes. Taking photos or filming in the Moscow Metro is permitted without using special equipment such as tripods, lights, etc.
