Moscow’s world-class Metro system is a true subterranean marvel, with 177 unique stations serving over 2.5 billion people annually.
All of the painstaking craftsmanship that went into creating this behemoth transportation system makes the daily rush a little less punishing for the 7 million passengers who daily ride the Moscow Metro.
In this first of a series of videos on Moscow’s labyrinthine metro system, we present, in addition to necessary practical information, some fascinating features about this underground world, including a sculpture of a dog that attracts thousands of pets from commuters each day who believe he will bring them good luck.
So sit back and enjoy the ride!
