How a hub works

  1. 01

    Stations close together

    Metro, railway and surface transport meet within walking distance.

  2. 02

    A covered transfer

    The interchange runs indoors, with clear wayfinding and lifts.

  3. 03

    Park-and-ride

    You can leave your car and continue by public transport.

  4. 04

    An urban function

    Squares, shops and offices appear around the hub.

Examples

  • Delovoy Tsentr

    Several metro lines, the MCC and pedestrian links to the Moscow City towers.

  • Nizhegorodskaya

    The Big Circle and Nekrasovskaya lines, the MCC and the MCD in one hub in the east of the city.

  • Komsomolskaya Square

    Three terminals, two metro lines and the MCD-3 diameter.

  • Kutuzovskaya

    Metro and MCC stations by Kutuzovsky Prospekt.

Why it matters

Journey time depends not only on train speed but also on the length of the transfer. By shortening an interchange by a few minutes, a hub saves time for hundreds of thousands of passengers every day.

Before travelling through a large hub it helps to check the station plan and the exit number on the official website.
