Evolution of the Moscow Metro 1935-2021 (geographic map)

[@lordgemini2376]

What a beautiful system. Thanks for posting!

[@GBA811]

I'm impressed by it, either in time of war or economic struggle, Muscovites had managed to expanded their Metro sytem.

[@Absolute_Zero7]

Its important to note that one of the biggest driving forces politically behind the metro, especially after WW2, was civil defense. One of the biggest reasons why almost the entire network is underground is specifically so that the transport system can be used as a bomb shelter for the city, that can then transport the city officials and general public out of the city. This is why you'll notice very weird decisions such as the rerouting of the blue line in 1953 - the old alignment involved crossing over the Moscow River on an above ground bridge, so they rebuilt that section of the line as deep bore. Eventually they ended up reusing the shallower alignment for Line 4 anyway but still. A similar case exists at Vorobyovy Gory Station. The current station exists above the Moscow River on a massive bridge, however there is an alternate deep bored route that exists in the case of an invasion or air raid that trains can use to transport people safely across the river and into the suburbs. As a bonus, every underground station, including the ones built today, actually have blast proof doors present at every entrance to the stations in case of a bombing raid, where they can be used as bomb shelters.

[@manugamer9984]

I’m sure Uncle Joe and some of his successors were pretty persuasive about avoiding delays :-/ Well, it is undeniable that the Metro serves many purposes to this day... it is a matter of state unlike any other subway in the world

[@dvolkov76]

Those stations opened in 1943 - 45 has been almost completed in pre-war years. They just required some finishing. And both of them are in very important strategic industrial zones (electrical and automotive factories). So Moscow government decided it is necessary to improve both transportation for workers and civil defense (because metro stations are also bomb shelters).

[@Xumgat]

Очень неплохо. Спасибо большое! Есть конечно неточности вроде отсутствия линий МЦД (D1, D2), а также того, что станции МЦК открылись не одновременно, как и участок Хорошоевская - Каховская, а в целом очень даже хорошо.

[@kirillyurchenko9382]

Тут же детализация до года... Поэтому события одного года слиты воедино. Таких примеров много - Новокузнецкая и Павелецкая были открыты позже Завода имени Сталина, Сретенский бульвар позже Трубной, Славянский бульвар позже Строгино... Но всё в рамках одного года.

[@vietanhbui711]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mICmZnyFgsiGaq8 можете сравнить эту версию с русской

[@KirDobar]

​@@kirillyurchenko9382, и тем не менее неточностей хватает. Упомянутая Вами "Завод имени Сталина" стала "Автозаводской" и близко не в год открытия, равно как и "Ждановская" (ныне Выхино), "Партизанская" первоначально была "Измайловской", тогда как нынешняя "Измайловская" - "Измайловским парком" (да, они ещё и названиями в 1963 г. поменялись). Да ладно названия, автор иностранец, может этого и не знать, да и если он будет обозначать ещё и все переименования станций - рехнётся с одним только "Охотным рядом". Но и с трассировками есть нюансы, так при открытии участка БКЛ от "Делового центра" до "Петровского парка" (позже до "Савёловской") поезда СолЛ поехали также до "Петровского парка" ("Савёловской"), а не до "Делового центра". Обратно на "Деловой центр" СоЛ вернулась 2 года спустя, так что показать это ничего не мешало. Ну и опуск МЦД, хотя бы первых двух - косяк существенный.

[@maxikstreed3166]

линии МЦД являются частью московского метро лишь потому что они выполняют роль городского рельсового транспорта, но под землей поезда на этих линиях не ездят. Можно сказать, что МЦД выполняют роль городской электрички подобно германских S-Bahn и французских RER. И да, как по мне, МЦК нужно отдать в систему МЦД, ибо участок не находится под землей

[@Neversa]

If Moscow Central Circle is added, it'd be logical to add Moscow Central Diameters (MЦД, D1 and D2) to the video

[@Xumgat]

Согласен.

[@MetroLiner]

That's a valid point since MCC and MCD share similar characteristics. The MCC is designated with number 14 of the Moscow Metro system while MCD is a separate system with its own line numbers. MCD is not shown in this video since I usually exclude commuter rails but I didn't exclude MCC because then it would leave a gap between line 13 and 15.

[@Xumgat]

@@MetroLiner This is an interesting numbering incident, caused by the fact that the MCC and the MCD are operating by different companies (the MCC operating by Moscow Metro and the High-Speed Communications Directorate, and the MCD is operating by Central Suburban Passenger Company), but in fact it is all a single network of city electric trains (not the metro).

[@pieterwatson611]

Yes, but 14 line (MCC) is a city line (within city limits), lines D (MCD) are suburban.

[@Xumgat]

@@pieterwatson611 No. It is city lines, and integrated in united Moscow transport system in the MCD zone, with a free transfer to the metro and another transport, but some trains really go beyond the MCD zone, but then they really become suburban and require the purchase of a ticket to a specific station.

But tourists are still constantly confused, and even some locals who rarely use the metro, especially on the Filyovskaya line (4a), since it is the only one on which there is a branch (on the Big circle the branch was temporary, it has already been closed and in 2027 the stations will be included in composition of another line under construction (17)

I would suggest Budapest for the next video. It's not a huge system: it has 4 lines excluding commuter rail and 9 including it, although the commuter rail system is often considered part of the metro system. The Budapest system is the second oldest in the world (after London). The first line was built in 1896! Edit: Excellent video btw, my favorite so far! The graphics were spot on. I was also really looking forward to Moscow ever since the London video was released.

The way you design metro lines is just amazing. Keep up the good work 👍

[@kirillyurchenko9382]

Dude, great work! But here's a mistake - through service from line 8A to line 11 worked without calling at Delovoy Tsentr, it was a direct connection from Park Pobedy to Shelepikha. There were two routes from Savyolovskaya - one to Delovoy Tsentr, and another one to Ramenki, later to Rasskazovka.

I just point some mistakes: a) 12 line was Л1 (L1) from opening and until 2014 where it was renamed in line № 12. b) Not all MCC (14 line) stations were opened for passangers with start of the line. For example Sokolinaya Gora and Dubrovka were opened 11 october 2016, Koptevo - 1 november 2016, Zorge - 4 november 2016 and Panfilovskaya - 8 november 2016. c) Station Bulvar Rokossovskogo was Ulitsa Podbielskogo until 8 july 2014. d) There were many station and line renames in 1990-2000.

3:22 you have a mistake: Vodny Stadion station is actually located 1 km more far to north than it is shown in your map. So you have a great video, it is really comfortable to see all lines shown on the current map of the city, it is the side where you are better the MetroCucumber. But, unfortunatly, this kind of videos contains many mistakes in production, so have a luck in fixing it! UPD: also you have a mistake on 4:04 (Kakhovskaya and Varshavskaya are changed themselves) and at 4:16 (Kitay-gorod was opened in 1971, not 1970) UPD2: and also 4:27 - this plot of orange line was opened in 1972 UPD3: on 12:54 the Big Circle line was opened in February 2018 and the Savyolovskaya station was opened on 30 december 2018, so you should split these plots. UPD3: on 14:18 the "Horoshovskaya" - "Mnyovniki" plot was opened in april 2021 and "Mnyovniki" - "Kakhovskaya" in december 2021. You should also split them. Also you have strange tonnels on blue (3) line near Park Pobedy station, I think you should fix it. And also, in Moscow metro there was many of station closings for repairing, but they do not matter excepting Vorobyovy Gory station, which had been reconstructing from 1983 to 2002 and during the reconstruction the old station and bridge were deleted and the new was built. So you should add this moment to the video.

[@martinkoubek3434]

The Arbat double line is strange and interesting. I understand that after the experiences of the aerial bombing they replaced the important central section of the route instead of the "unter strassen bahn" with a solidly built stamped subway, but after a few years this original closed section was connected to a newly opened secondary non-diametral surface line, similar to the suburban railway, which over the years turned and extended to the northwest. And the stamped line, according to the original plans from the 50s/60s, which I saw on the net, I think it was originally planned to be extended roughly in the direction of today's route 08ᴬ Solncevska, if I'm not mistaken? But instead, from the 90s and 00s, it continued - in the form of an underground high-speed railway with almost no stops - to copy the route of the surface line, and after climbing up towards the end of the route, it took over the last few stations from the surface line. Well, it's interesting. Thanks for the video.

[@Любадрель-у9з]

Yes. Light blue and dark blue lines running almost parallel in the center still cause confusion among tourists. I was asked a couple of times: "why are there 2 Smolenskaya stations and 2 Arbatskaya stations in almost the same place? And why is there no transfer between them?"
