MCC opening on September 10 which stations. MCC station "Ploschad Gagarin" and free travel around the ring! What tickets will be valid at the MCC
The first stage of the Moscow Central Circle will take place on September 10. The network edition of the site responded to the most important questions about a new type of urban transport.
What it is?
Moscow center ring- it is, uniting the metro and the radial lines of suburban railways. Previously, it was called the Moscow Railway Ring. The MCC runs near the Third Ring Road in the southeast and west of the city and in the middle between the Third Ring Road and the Moscow Ring Road in the north of the capital.
The main task of the road is to make the path from one point remote from the city center to another shorter. According to experts, the launch of the railway should reduce travel time by an average of 20 minutes, relieve the Ring line of the subway by 15 percent, and the city's central stations by 20 percent.
How many stations will the MCC open?
The ring includes 31 stations, each of which provides for transfers to other types of public transport. 17 stations will be connected with 11 metro lines, 10 - with radial railway branches.
At the first stage, passengers will have access to 26 stations, the press service of the Moscow Stroycomplex reports, citing Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Mayor for Urban Development Policy. The rest will begin work before the end of the year.
Until 2018, the connection of the MCC stations with metro stations, radial railway lines and surface urban transport will gradually improve.

Where can you transfer from the MCC?
In total, with the launch of the MCC, Muscovites and guests of the capital can make more than 350 transfers, and the travel time when moving around the capital will be reduced by three times.
Passengers will be able to freely change trains when traveling along the following routes: Metro - MCC - Metro; Metro - MCC; MCC - Metro - Monorail; Monorail - Metro - MCC - Metro.
There are also transfers from electric trains to buses, trolleybuses and trams. The ground transport schedule will be adjusted to the MCC schedule.
The intervals of movement of the routes of ground transport serving the ring, from September 8, are about 10 minutes. In the future, it is planned to reduce them to 6-8 minutes, so that passengers can almost immediately transfer from the MCC to ground transport.
For more than four thousand stops of land transport, the territory maps have been updated, and at 15 stops now with stations on the new ring.
It will also be possible to get to the new railway line by personal transport: special parking lots will be equipped at 13 stops.
How to navigate the MCC?
In total, several versions of the MCC scheme have been prepared. On one of them, it is plotted on the city map with the designation of the lines of suburban railways, as well as metro lines, including the Third Interchange Circuit under construction.
In the second, the MCC scheme is inscribed in the currently used metro map and is indicated there as the 14th metro line. In total, 50 thousand new schemes will be pasted in the subway. The updated maps will also show how long it will take to transfer from the metro station to the MCC station.
The ring stations themselves are equipped with navigation panels in Russian and English... Braille will be installed for visually impaired passengers. Also, at each station, a board will appear with the time of arrival of the train. Several of them will have Live Communication stands.
Where can I find detailed information about the MCC?
A section dedicated to the Moscow Central Circle has appeared on the official website of the Moscow Metro.
The new page contains information about the history of the creation of the MCC and the modern Lastochka trains running around the loop. Also, site visitors can familiarize themselves with the scheme of transfers from the metro to the MCC and choose convenient routes.
In addition, the page of the central ring was opened on the Unified Transport Portal. Here you can also get detailed information about the routes and time spent on the road.

Social cards do not require updating. The same applies to passes purchased in September.
It will be possible to buy tickets at the stations of the ring both for cash and with cards. They also plan to introduce a contactless fare payment system, which will allow you to pay for travel using a mobile phone, as well as the PayPass / PayWave system - money will be debited automatically if you attach a bank card to the validator.
The MCC will have the same tariffs as the metro.

During peak hours, trains will run at intervals of six minutes, at usual time the train will have to wait 15 minutes.
How long will it take to travel through the MCC?
The time it takes to drive the entire ring: 84 minutes, including stops. Passengers do not have to go to the Koltsevaya metro line to get, say, from Mezhdunarodnaya to Leninsky Prospekt or from Vladykino to Rokossovsky Boulevard. With the opening of the road, overcoming these sections will take 10-12 minutes instead of 28-39, respectively.
What trains will run on the MCC?
Passengers will be transported. The entire rolling stock is planned to be equipped with energy-saving electrical equipment, video cameras, air conditioners, phone chargers and free Wi-Fi.
Each "Swallow" will have five carriages. The two head carriages will have two toilets, which are adapted for people with limited mobility, and there will be ballot boxes at the train exits.
In the first months, passengers will open the doors of the Swallows at the MCC on their own. To do this, special buttons will be installed on the door leaves outside and inside the car. They will be active only when the train has come to a complete stop. The fact that the button is working will be indicated by the green indicator located next to it.
Will trains have travel times to the next station?
All MCC trains will have video screens on which a scoreboard with a countdown of the travel time to the next station will be broadcast. Passengers will be able to see how many minutes are left before arriving at the platform. The monitors will also show the speed of the train and changes in the schedule of the metro.
The first two trains with video information will be launched immediately in September, all trains will be equipped with screens by next autumn. It is planned to install four screens in each carriage.

Yes. All platforms are equipped with tactile tiles for easy movement of visually impaired passengers. Elevators and escalators are installed at 26 transport hubs, and special elevators at 5 transport hubs.
Will it be possible to ride with a bicycle or a stroller?
Yes. You can carry it on MCC trains, there are fasteners in the second and fourth carriages. The first car of the trains will have seats for people with limited mobility. Inside the trains, floor navigation will tell you where to go for cyclists and where for people with mobility limitations.
This information is also indicated on the outside of the trains. Bicycle parking and bicycle rental stations will be installed next to each transport and interchange hub of the MCC.
Are the MCC and the Third Interchange Circuit the same?
No. Many people confuse the Moscow Central Ring with, but this is not the same thing. The main difference is that the MCC is a railway connection, while the TPK is a subway ring.
TPK will become the new big ring of the Moscow metro. Its total length will be 59.5 kilometers with 28 stations. The first section of the circuit will open this year, and the entire line is planned to be launched within the next four years.
When did the idea of creating the MCC appear?
Construction of the road in 1903 under the personal supervision of the Moscow Governor-General, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich.
Five years later, the first train was launched on the new railway, but in just a day, four trains passed along the line. And if freight transportation fully justified itself, then passenger transportation did not go.
At first, Muscovites were embarrassed by the high price of tickets, and in the late 1920s and early 1930s, bus and tram services improved in the areas where the ring road passed, the popularity of trains fell, and in 1934 the passenger service had to be closed.
They wanted to renew them in the 60s, but the proposal was never implemented, and at the end of the 80s on the railway it was decided to restore historical buildings and start up passenger trains.
The modern idea of turning the road into a high-speed lane with metro transfers appeared in 2001. And they started reconstruction already under Sergei Sobyanin in 2012.
: “While the list of stations that will be launched on September 10 (this date, one might say, is circled in a red circle), has not been formed; according to Alexei Zhigalin (Deputy General Director for Design of JSC "Moscow Railways", the exact "list" of what will open (will not open) will be announced on September 9 "
On August 26, I looked at how things were going at the Ploschad Gagarin station and I can say that this station will be opened. Unfortunately, due to the severe blockage of filming, I post photos only now.
And yesterday interesting news came from the metro press service.
On September 10, the first stage of the launch of traffic on the Moscow Central Circle will take place. On behalf of the Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin, the first month of operation of the new highway will be free- passengers will be able to appreciate the advantages and conveniences of the new ring, as well as the quality and level of services.
Free trips will help introduce citizens to the new type of urban public transport. They can be carried out from September 10 to October 10 inclusive... During this time, passengers will be able to appreciate the Moscow Central Circle, get acquainted with the stations, build new convenient routes for themselves that can significantly reduce travel time.
Also, passengers can switch from the metro with one ticket, go to the MCC, and then return to the metro again absolutely free. To do this, you just need to attach the used metro ticket to the reader with a special yellow sticker when passing through the turnstile at the stations of the Moscow Central Circle. Passage only through the designated turnstiles will allow you to make a transfer according to the scheme: “metro - MCC - metro” free of charge. The free transfer system starts operating from the moment of the launch of the Moscow Central Circle - September 10.
Passengers who plan to travel only around the MCC, or those who change from the metro to the MCC, do not plan to return to the metro within 90 minutes - they can safely pass through the turnstiles that are not marked with a special sticker. It is important to note that a free return to the metro after traveling to the MCC will be possible only with specially activated tickets. These include all types of travel documents, including "Single" and "90 minutes", purchased after September 1.
Tickets purchased before this date, including those on the Troika card, can be activated free of charge at the metro and monorail ticket offices, as well as at the Metro Passenger Agency and the Moscow Transport Service Center, starting from September 1. Activation is carried out without changing the remainder of trips and the validity of the ticket, while new, reprogrammed travel documents will allow you to make transfers to the Moscow Central Circle free of charge and evaluate a new, convenient and comfortable way to travel around the capital.
It will be possible to activate free transfers on a Wallet ticket on a Troika card by replenishing it with an amount of 1 ruble or more, at the ticket offices and ticket machines of the metro, as well as through the agent network. Passengers who do not plan to use the MCC services do not need to activate their tickets. Also, reprogramming is not necessary for the social cards of a Muscovite.
