The Moscow Metro is the rapid transit system that functions within the city of Moscow, Russia. It also runs in the nearby town of Krasnogorsk, which functions like a bedtown or commuter city. In the beginning it was a simple 11 km long single train line with only 13 stations, but today has grown into a massive city with 185 stations totalling 305.7 km. Most of the system is underground subway. After the Tokyo subway, Moscow`s metro system is the second-most used subway system in the world with average daily passenger traffic reaching 6.6 million.
It is a state-owned system rather than a private one.
Hopefully the Moscow Metro Map choices above are good. To be honest, there are a lot of maps of the Moscow metro but they`re pretty much all the same so I thought just these 2 would be enough.
Check out this video of massive crowds in the Moscow subway. This is after a special sporting event or something, so don`t think that it`s always this crowded. But the fact that it can ever get this bad shows you just how busy of a rapid transit system it really is.
