The Moscow-City station of the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) currently serves approximately 26,600 passengers per day. This figure is 25% higher than the 2023 figure, when daily passenger traffic was 21,300. This was reported by the press service of the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development.
The recent opening of a new entrance hall at the Moscow City station on the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) was a significant milestone for the capital's transport infrastructure. Thanks to this innovation, the number of passengers using the station daily has increased by a quarter. The press service noted that the opening of the new entrance hall has significantly improved logistics at the station: transfers now take 2.5 times less time, and passengers no longer need to go outside to make them. This not only increased convenience but also contributed to a significant increase in passenger traffic.
Additionally, it was noted that passenger growth was observed not only at the Moscow-City station of the Moscow Central Circle, but also at the nearby Moscow Central Diameters (MCD-4) station. This indicates that infrastructure improvements in the Moscow-City area are having a positive impact on overall traffic flow.
Moscow Deputy Mayor for Transport Maxim Liksutov emphasized the importance of such improvements for the city. "The development of transport infrastructure in the Moscow-City business center area makes it more accessible and convenient for residents and visitors. The new exit to the city and convenient transfer to the Moscow-City MCC not only relieved congestion in the existing concourse but also improved the quality of service for passengers. We continue to work to improve travel comfort in accordance with the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin," Liksutov noted.
Moscow City is one of Moscow's most important business districts, attracting numerous employees, entrepreneurs, and tourists. The district has been rapidly developing in recent years, and improved transport accessibility plays a key role in this process. New entrance halls, improved transfers, and other transport innovations are contributing to increased passenger traffic and improved user satisfaction.
In the near future, further modernization of the transport infrastructure in the Moscow-City district is planned. This is expected to not only make travel even more comfortable but also attract more passengers, positively impacting the economic development of the district and the city as a whole.
