TASS-DOSSIER /Valery Korneev/. On September 10, passenger traffic opens in Moscow on the Moscow Central Circle (MCC), an intracity ring line of passenger electric trains that uses the infrastructure of the Small Circle of Moscow railway(MK MZD).
The line is integrated with the Moscow metro (in the metro system it is assigned the number 14) and radial railway lines.
Stations and transfers
The total length of Moscow central ring- 54 km. A total of 31 passenger platforms have been built on the MCC. It is expected that 26 platforms will open for passenger traffic on September 10, 2016, the remaining 5 by the end of 2016.
Transfers to the Moscow Metro lines are planned from 17 stations. Five transfers to metro stations from the very beginning will be carried out “in a warm circuit” (without going outside): to “Kutuzovskaya”, “ Business center", "Vladykino", Cherkizovskaya" and "Leninsky Prospekt". In 2016, after the opening of the Shelepikha station of the Third Interchange Circuit, transport interchange hubs will be built that will provide transitions “in a warm circuit” to the metro stations “Partizanskaya”, “Botanical Garden”, “Rokossovsky Boulevard”, as well as stations under construction "Nizhegorodskaya" and "Okruzhnaya".
At other stations, you will need to go outside to transfer: for example, a transfer from the Baltiyskaya MCC station to the Voykovskaya metro station will take about 12 minutes.
In 2016, five transfers to electric trains in five directions will operate - Kazansky, Leningradsky, Belorussky, Yaroslavsky and Smolensky. Four more transfers - to Paveletskoye, Rizhskoye, Kursk, Gorky directions - will open in the coming years after the existing platforms are moved. The only direction of commuter trains with which transfers are not provided is Kyiv.
Also, transfers to 273 ground public transport routes will be organized from MCC stations.
Fare
During the first month of operation of the MCC (until October 10, 2016), travel along the ring will be free for passengers.
In the future, travel will be carried out using travel tickets and transport cards ("Unified", "90 minutes", "Troika") in accordance with metro tariffs while maintaining all existing social benefits.
At the same time, with a ticket for one trip it will be possible to make a triple transfer: metro - MCC - metro.
Operating hours, intervals
Opening hours - from 05.30 to 01.00 - coincide with the schedule of the capital's metro.
6 minutes - intervals during rush hours, 11-15 minutes - at other times. As the demand for the line increases, the intervals may decrease.
A circular drive around the entire ring will take 75-85 minutes.
Rolling stock
Every day, 30 five-car ES2G Lastochka trains (Siemens Desiro RUS), manufactured at the Ural Railway Engineering Plant, will operate on the MCC. Three more trains will be in reserve. Maintenance trains will be operated by Siemens (under an agreement concluded at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in 2015) at the Podmoskovnoye depot, located in the Moscow districts of Sokol and Airport.
Each train can accommodate 1,200 passengers; Lastochka can also carry up to 12 bicycles. The trains are equipped with climate control systems, toilets, 220 V sockets and Wi-Fi. The doors will open with buttons at the request of passengers.
The maximum design speed of the Lastochka is 160 km/h. However, on the MCC, due to frequent stops, trains will only be able to reach a speed of 80 km/h. The average route speed will be about 40 km/h.
In total, up to 134 pairs of trains will run on the MCC per day.
Project cost
The MCC construction budget is 130.3 billion rubles. In total, 74.8 billion rubles were allocated from the federal budget, investments from the Moscow government amounted to 15.5 billion rubles. Another about 40 billion rubles. private investors will invest in the construction of transport hubs.
Freight traffic
Freight traffic on the line will continue at reduced volumes only at night. Currently there are 12 operating freight stations on the ring.
MCC goals
The main goal of the project is to relieve congestion at railway stations, central parts of metro lines and create new short routes. The Moscow General Plan Institute expects that the introduction of the MCC will reduce passenger traffic on the Sokolnicheskaya metro line by 20%, on the Circle Line by 15%, on Lyublinskaya by 14%, on Filevskaya by 12%, on Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya by 18% and Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya - by 5%.
The load at Kazansky station will decrease by 30%, at Kursky - by 40%, at Yaroslavsky - by 20%, at Rizhsky - by 30%, at Leningradsky - by 20%.
It is planned that by September 2017 the Moscow Central Circle will transport 75 million passengers, 34.5 million of whom will use the road to transfer from the metro, 20.2 million from electric trains, 12.7 million from ground urban transport, and 7. 5 million will be city residents living near the MCC.
By 2025, the MCC is expected to transport 300 million passengers a year, and the line itself will create up to 40 thousand new jobs after the development of the areas closest to the stations.
MCC section on the official website of the Moscow Metro -
We built it for youExtra time
The Moscow Central Circle is part of the transport system of the future capital.
It gives the city an alternative to choosing new routes, reduces the load on the metro and train stations in the city center and makes a trip around Moscow an average 20 minutes Briefly speaking.
About the MCC project
The city train is the new kind public transport, which appeared in the capital on September 10, 2016 with the opening of the Moscow Central Circle (MCC).
New generation Lastochka trains run along the railway ring during metro operation. You won’t have to wait more than 6 minutes for an electric train during rush hours, and you can change to the metro for free - the MCC has the same pass as the metro.
Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction:
The launch of traffic on the Moscow Central Circle is a breakthrough project for the capital. The MCC will build a new transport logistics system in the city. There will be a redistribution of transit flows from the center to the middle part of the city, adjacent territories will become more accessible, passenger traffic in the metro will decrease and roads will be partially cleared.
The load on the main metro lines, primarily the Circle Line and central interchange stations, will be reduced by more than 15%.

Creating a unique transport system, Moscow has integrated the MCC into the existing transport network of the city and, most importantly, into the Moscow Metro system. The MCC became the ground ring line of the capital's subway.
You can pay for your ticket at the ticket office at any MCC station by bank card.
In the future it is planned to introduce modern technologies fare payment: NFC (toll payment using mobile phone), Pay Pass / Pay Wave (contactless payment by bank card).
"Without the sound of wheels"
Fast “Swallows” reach speeds of up to 160 km/h, but at the same time do not cause “noisy inconvenience” to citizens.
All electrified rolling stock is noticeably quieter than diesel locomotives and meets modern environmental requirements.
Protective screens will protect citizens from unnecessary noise
and the creation of the so-called “velvet road” - without the sound of wheels.
This technology involves laying railway tracks using special technology on separate 800-meter sections.
Why will the city train become a popular mode of transport among Muscovites?
A trip along the MCC will be many times more comfortable than in the metro. 110 “swallows” ply along the railway ring, each designed for 1,200 people.
New generation city electric trains are equipped with
Security on the MCC
Rail transport traditionally remains one of the most dangerous in the world. However, emergency situations do not occur with trains, but with inattentive passengers who step onto the rails in prohibited places.
A fence has been installed along the entire perimeter of the MCC, which will prevent unauthorized access to the railway tracks.
The total length of the fence was 108 km
Part of the fence (16 km) are noise barriers that were installed within the boundaries of residential buildings.
Free pass
– does NOT mean uncontrolled
On the Moscow Central Circle, all transport security measures applied in the metro and railway are implemented. For example, profiling will also be carried out here.
Profiling
This method evaluates and predicts human behavior based on the analysis of characteristics of appearance, non-verbal and verbal behavior.
There will also be a traditional search like in the subway. Increased passenger protection will be ensured by modern system turnstiles, detector frames and CCTV, as well as through the creation of a separate police unit.
Transport hubs
It will be possible to change from one type of transport to another in a matter of minutes using transport interchange hubs (TPU). They consist of terminals with ticket offices and turnstiles, as well as a system of covered pedestrian galleries - overhead and underground passages that protect passengers from bad weather.

All stations provide a transfer to city public transport
buses, trams, trolleybuses and autolines
Passengers don’t even have to go outside, which is why this type of transfer is called the “principle” dry feet».
Now ground urban transport brings citizens directly to the ring stations
In the future, transport hubs will become multifunctional: they will include offices, shopping malls, shops and cafes. Investors will invest money in the construction of the commercial part; the city, using funds from the Moscow budget, is building only the technological part of the hub, which performs a transport function. This concept meets the interests of investors, for whom it is important to recoup their investments in construction, and the needs of citizens, who will be able to find work or receive necessary services close to home.
In the future, some long-distance trains will be able to disembark passengers before reaching the station. By using the MCC, people will be able to save their time, and train stations in the center of Moscow will become freer.
Parking and rides
There will also be an increase in passengers on the MCC due to some motorists who will choose “traffic-free” movement around the city on rail transport. This will relieve some of the load from overcrowded city highways.
You will be able to park your car in park-and-ride parking lots near 17 stations Moscow Central Circle. They are ready to accept 2 thousand cars.
These parking lots will operate in the same mode as intercept parking lots at metro stations, of which there are 31 (capacity - 6.6 thousand cars). The largest of them, for 1.48 thousand cars, is located at the Annino metro station.
The Moscow Central Circle will breathe life into abandoned areas around
For 90 years, the district railway was used for the delivery of goods.
During the USSR, the necessary load was given to her by utility and industrial enterprises located around. But gradually production declined, and these days these sites are best case scenario are used for warehouses, and more often they are simply idle.
The MCC is a unique project not only from the point of view of developing transport infrastructure, but also from the point of view of creating new jobs.
After the introduction of new real estate in the area of the MCC stations, about 40 thousand jobs will be created.
Investors have already expressed their readiness to invest in the development of areas around 11 MCC stations. Among them:
"Botanical Garden"
"Vladykino"
"Yaroslavskaya"
"Open Highway"
"Novokhokhlovskaya"
"ZIL"
"Warsaw highway"
"Business center"
"Shelepikha"
"Novopeschanaya"
"Nikolaevskaya"
Attracting private investment will allow Moscow to save budget money and direct it to the development of social and transport infrastructure in other areas of the city.
Former industrial zones will turn into new urban areas
Around the ring, according to calculations by the General Plan Institute, the following can be built:
750 thousand sq. m of commercial real estate.
Of them 300 thousand “squares”- hotels,
250 thousand - trading platforms,
200 thousand - new offices and technology parks.
Moscow has the right to expect that developers will be interested in investing in real estate construction, because after the launch of the MCC, the cost of land around it will increase significantly. The former industrial zones around the MCC fell into disrepair: these territories required integrated approach. And putting the lands around the railway ring in order became the largest urban improvement project in 2016. Every day, 25.9 thousand people were involved in the improvement of the MCC in the summer of 2016. However, the work was not aimed only at improving appearance stations, the task was also to create convenient pedestrian connections between the MCC and ground urban transport stops.
- 2,800 trees were planted on the MCC.
- Renovated facades 111 56 historical buildings. Near 11 stations view zones are created.
The historical Kanatchikovo station on the MCC will not open to passengers, but will become an interesting excursion site.
Two residential buildings, a gatehouse, a centralization booth and a warehouse have also been preserved. The Kanatchikovo station has adorned the Moscow Central Circle, being of value to anyone interested in the history of Moscow railways and urban architecture.
This decision is due to the low passenger traffic in this area. "Kanatchikovo" is located between the stops "Krymskaya" and "Ploshchad Gagarina" parallel to Kanatchikovsky Proezd. The two-story station building from the early 20th century is a cultural heritage site.

History of the creation of the MCC
In 2018, the Moscow Central Circle will celebrate a unique anniversary: Emperor Nicholas II made the decision to build the Circular Railway in Moscow in the fall of 1897.
The initiator of the project was a great enthusiast of railway transport, the Minister of Finance Russian Empire Sergei Witte. The circular railway was of great national importance, so the best Russian engineers and architects were involved in the project.
For 110 years, the MCC’s mission has not changed: saving passengers’ time.
On 50

14 stations
2
stopping points
30
overpasses
72 bridges
(of which 4 are through
Moscow River)
35 pairs of trains ran along the district per day. Passenger transportation on the MCC did not last long; they were stopped due to unprofitability. For more than a century, the railway ring was used only for the transport of goods and served the industrial areas around it.
The idea of restoring passenger traffic never left Moscow city planners, but work began only in 2012.
It was necessary to completely update the infrastructure: electrify the road, relay the rails and, most importantly, reconstruct eight overpasses at the intersection with highways to raise them to a height that allows new trains to pass through.
The first passengers traveled along the district on September 10, 2016. On the eve of this event, the road was given a new name - the Moscow Central Circle (MCC).

MOSLENTA has three new metro maps at its disposal, on which the MCC is marked and information about the distance between stations, transfer times and much more is written. Citizens spoke in favor of adding this data. Cards will soon begin to be posted - the MCC launches on September 10. In the meantime, we have the opportunity to be the first to evaluate to what extent the wishes of future passengers of the ring have been fulfilled.
Maps are clickable.
Scheme
On the first map, which will hang in metro lobbies, on the side of the line diagram, the stages of opening MCC stations and everything about the stages of opening stations, train schedules and transfer times to other modes of transport are described:
The second version of the map includes railway stations and helps you navigate when transferring to trains:
The third version of the scheme contains the most full information about ground transport routes to which you can transfer from the MCC station:
Previously, a vote was held on the Unified Transport Portal to select objects that may appear on the new metro scheme. The most voted were transfers from the MCC to the metro, indicating the distance between stations or transfer time, data on transfers to commuter trains, as well as information about nearby parks and bike paths.
Users also suggested adding information to the diagrams about intercepting parking lots, stations adapted for passengers with limited mobility, and ground transfers in the so-called warm circuit (when you don’t need to go outside).
There will be 31 stations on the MCC, from each of which it will be possible to transfer to ground urban passenger transport. At the same time, at 17 stations there will be a transfer to the metro, and at 10 - to commuter trains. On the metro map, the MCC will be indicated in white with a red outline.
First month free
Travel along the Moscow Central Circle will be free in the first month from the date of its launch, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Twitter. During this month, the authorities expect to collect suggestions and comments from Muscovites regarding the operation of the ring and correct any shortcomings that have arisen.
We remind you that the MCC and the metro will have a single tariff menu: the cost of travel both in the subway and along the Central Circle will be the same. Within an hour and a half, transfers from the MCC to the metro will be free. However, for this, already purchased travel tickets will need to be reissued at the box office.
The Moscow Central Ring MCC is a global and largest last years a project related to urban planning in Moscow. The Moscow Central Ring MCC is another type of public transport in Moscow. The MCC is called the road of the future, capable of inhaling new life to industrial areas of Moscow.The Moscow Central Ring is an urban ring railway that will connect the capital's subway, railway and ground transport in Moscow into a single transport system. An important function of the MCC will be to relieve the burden on public transport, in particular the metro. There is a version that the construction of the MCC is an alternative to the construction of another ring metro line. It has already been calculated that with the full implementation of the MCC system, the average Muscovite will reduce the average travel time to work by twenty minutes. Some routes will become highly optimized. For example, from the Vladykino metro station to the Botanical Garden station you now need to travel ten stations and make two transfers. new system- it will be one stop and the travel time will be three minutes. There are many such examples.
Moscow Central Circle photo:
Over time, at seventeen stations it will be possible to change to the metro, at thirty-one stations - to ground transport (bus), and transitions at ten stations will allow you to also change to commuter trains. Moreover, by 2018, all transitions will be classified as “dry feet”, that is, you will not need to go outside to transfer. Even numbers are given: the average time for a transfer will be twelve minutes, and the minimum will be only thirty seconds.
History of the Moscow Central Circle
At the beginning of the 20th century, on the orders of the Tsar (Nicholas II), the Circular Railway was built around Moscow. The task at that time was to establish uninterrupted and timely movement of cargo flows, because the main burden of transporting goods throughout the city districts at that time fell on ordinary cab drivers who ran from stations throughout Moscow. Radial railway lines did not solve the problem of constantly increasing freight traffic, and on the railways of that time, freight trains were forced to stand in line for several hours. During the design and construction, a unified design format for the buildings of the Circular Railway stations was even developed; everything looked very decent and fit into the general style of the city. The construction was personally supervised by the Moscow Governor General. The circular railway was used to transport goods; the passengers were mainly workers from adjacent factories. Since 1934, the Circular Railway began to be used only for the transportation of goods. Gradually, entire industrial zones formed around the railway, some of them were recently used as warehouses or rented out for a variety of purposes. The general condition of Moscow industrial zones was also not satisfactory. The launch of traffic along the Moscow Central Circle will also stimulate the development of many former industrial zones; they will be integrated into the overall architectural and economic system cities.
Where is the Moscow Central Circle?
Moscow is becoming closer to remote areas. The MCC passes through twenty-six districts of Moscow. In some areas where there is no metro, new MCC stations will appear - Khoroshevo-Mnevniki, Kotlovka, Beskudnikovsky, Koptevo, Nizhegorodsky, Metrogorodok. In addition, the Moscow Central Ring covers the so-called academic ring on which famous universities of the capital are located.
Moscow Central Circle diagram
On September 10, 2016, Moscow City Day, the first stage of the launch of the Moscow Central Circle took place. Our President was the first passenger. The first stage of the MCC has opened - twenty-six stations, at ten of them you can change to the metro. By the end of the year, the plan is to launch the second stage and seven more stations. There will be thirty-one stations in total. Commercial real estate, shops, cafes, and shopping complexes will appear in the nearest industrial zones. The MCC will be designated on the Moscow metro map as the 14th metro line.
Among the unusual things, passengers will see trees, phone chargers, and benches. Entrance is through the turnstiles, it is possible to enter with a bank card.
High-speed Lastochka trains will run on the MCC. Each train has five cars. The average wait time is six minutes. For comfortable travel, all trains will have toilets, sockets, Wi-Fi, an air conditioning system, video cameras, and ramps for passengers with limited mobility. Also provided special fasteners for bicycles. To open the carriage door for entry and exit, passengers will need to press a button that is active after the movement has completely stopped.
About financing of the Moscow Central Circle MCC project
Half of the funds for the construction and reorganization of the Moscow Railway were allocated from the federal budget, the second half from the Moscow treasury.
To attract Muscovites and city guests to use the new type of public transport, the Moscow authorities made free travel on the Moscow Central Circle for one month from September 10, 2016. This action is intended to show and prove the convenience and efficiency of the new road system.
Moscow Central Circle tolls
Travel along the Moscow Central Circle should be economical, namely: without transfers to other types of transport - there is a one-time payment. If the journey is combined with the metro, then, suppose, the passenger pays for the passage when entering the metro, then pays nothing - transfers to one of the MCC stations, then again pays nothing, returns to the metro and goes out into the city. There is some clarification. When entering the metro for the second time, you just need to attach the ticket used at the first entry to the turnstile; if less than ninety minutes have passed since the first entry, you do not need to pay; if more, sorry, but here you will have to pay for entry again.
Moscow Central Circle, what are the rates and what about tickets? The MCC tariff system will be identical to the metro. Metro tickets, which can be used according to the above scheme, must be purchased no earlier than September 1, 2016. If the travel ticket was purchased earlier, it must be reprogrammed at the metro ticket office. People on the subway talk about this all the time now. The most hassle-free way is to use the “TROIKA” card; there is no need to restart or reconfigure anything. The ability to use a bank card is promised by the end of 2016 with the launch of the second phase.
About pleasant things
During the first free month - exactly; further - is still unknown, but MCC passengers, sitting in comfortable chairs, will be able to listen to the story of an electronic guide about the history of the MCC and the sights of the city that flash outside the window.The unification of all types of public urban transport into a single system in Moscow is so far the only example in Russia. But it is far from the only one in the world. In particular, many cite as an example a similar system in Berlin, Barcelona and others European cities. The unified and coordinated public transport scheme "MCC Scheme" is already included in the new Moscow metro scheme.
The Moscow Central Circle (MCC) will open to passengers in early September. Approximately September 10th. This was stated by the head of the Moscow Metro, Dmitry Pegov.
The MCC line received number 14 in the Moscow Metro. The ring consists of 31 stations, 17 of them are connected to the metro, 10 to radial railway lines. Transfers between metro stations and the MCC will take no more than 10-12 minutes. The shortest and most comfortable transfers will be in “warm” (not requiring going outside) crossings from the stations: Mezhdunarodnaya, Leninsky Prospekt, Cherkizovskaya, Vladykino, Kutuzovskaya.
The main advantage of the Moscow Central Circle is that it should relieve the “Koltsevaya” line by 15%, the “Sokolnicheskaya” line by 20%, and all stations.
ABOUT OPERATING MODE
Since the Moscow Central Circle is metro line 14, the operating hours will be identical - daily from 5.30 to 1.00.
ABOUT THE COST OF TRAVEL
A single ticket for 20 trips will cost 650 rubles, for 40 trips - 1,300 rubles, 60 trips - 1,570 rubles. At the same time, travel for Troika card users on the MCC will cost the same as on the metro - 32 rubles. It is worth emphasizing that the possibility of transferring from the metro to the MCC and back will be free of charge.
Transfers within 90 minutes from the moment you first enter the station are free. Reprogramming of turnstiles, cash registers, and ticket vending machines has now begun,” said Dmitry Pegov.
You can use the second free metro transfer from MCC platforms only with tickets purchased after September 1. Passengers who purchased tickets before this date will be able to exchange them for new ones, with the benefit of a free transfer. Otherwise, the additional trip will be charged. And the first 30,000 people who exchange tickets purchased before September 1 will receive gifts from the metro. There will be no need to exchange social cards.
ABOUT PAYMENT METHODS
Tickets can be purchased in the same way as for trips on the metro: at ticket offices, vending machines, or top up your Troika card via the Internet. It will also be possible to pay for travel by credit card. For this purpose, all stations are now equipped with machines for reading bank cards.
ABOUT PASSENGER SERVICES
The stations will introduce similar services that exist in the metro. Passengers with limited mobility will be able to benefit from free mobility assistance. The stations will have chargers for gadgets, trees, and benches. And also trash cans, which are not in the Moscow metro itself. “Live Communication” counters will appear at five stations, where tourists can also get information English language. In particular, it is already being installed at the Luzhniki station.
ABOUT COMPOSITIONS
33 trains will be launched on the ring, which will have handrails for standing passengers. And just like on regular trains, there will be toilets. The interval between trains will be only 6 minutes.
THE YANDEX METRO APPLICATION WILL BE UPDATED
By the time the Moscow Central Circle launches, the map will be updated in the Yandex Metro application, which is used by many Muscovites.
We have already taken measurements so that people can plan their time on the trip. People will also be informed about temporary closures of stations, said Alexander Shulgin, CEO Yandex in Russia.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?
Navigation is hosted;
The trains practice movement intervals;
Information boards are installed on the platforms;
They are creating comfortable ground transport routes connecting with stations of the new subway line.
INTERESTING TO KNOW
75 million passengers will be able to use the transportation in the first year, and by 2025 the number will increase to 350 million passengers annually;
The metro staff will increase by 800 people.
Online workload application
To implement this project, it is necessary to prepare the infrastructure to show this. But we have this in our plans. This will be a similar project to Yandex.Traffic. The Moscow Metro is working on the issue of providing Yandex with data on congestion. As soon as we are able to receive them, we will send them to Yandex, and they will be displayed in the application online,” said Dmitry Pegov, head of the metro.
