完全没有疑问,这绝对是世界上最好的地铁,站厅就像皇宫一样,车的间隔时间也很短,高峰时段1分钟一趟,普通时段5-6分钟一趟。地铁很有效率,大部分时间都挤满了人,用不同的颜色标明了不同的线路。
I read tons of comments, remarks, articles on the Moscow metro. As you WILL use it here are some good-to-know things.It is true that this is probably the most exciting network due to the fact that back in Stalin's era they prepared for a nuclear war and the Metro system was not only a way of transporting the masses but also a potential atomic bunker - at least some parts. Hence stations are deep which means rides on the escalator might take 3-4 minutes. It also means that the elite wanted to make sure that the stations are nice. Gold, chandelliers, white stuccos are common in the central stations. Kievskaya was my favourite one.There are many connection points or intersections, so to say. It might take you up to 10-12 minutes to get from 1 line to the other.Nowadays there are way out signs and lines' names where you can transit to are also in English - look on the ground you will find those pieces of information there.If you don't read and speak Russian take these steps:1. Print a metro map at home with both Russian and English names.2. Look for the colors - you will know where you are when you have a look at the platforms on the wall. All station names will have small dots next to them representing the color of the line.3. Yes, lines have different colors, always check these as they are a lot easierr to follow than names if you can't read Cirilic.4. If you look for something easy to understand, ask a policemen, they are much nicer than you would think. They are happy to show you directions. Pay attention to what they show and not what they say as it will be probably in Russian.5. When you need tickets say the number of rides (tickets are available baseed on number of entrances) you want to cover - these can be 1,3,5,11,20 etc. For 4 days 11 can be enough but it all depends on your willingness to walk.Safety is not an issue at all except for the heavy doors that people do not hold for the one coming behind them.
世界上能作为景点的地铁真不多,莫斯科算是特例了。其实莫斯科的地铁从现代的角度看挺一般的,列车很久,还没有英文标示。但是某些地铁站的设计还是挺有苏联的时代特色的。
Best in the world... A master piece of infrastructure.....Metro stations are very clean and very beautiful....Connection is amazing..
有人说莫斯科地铁像宫殿,我觉得有点言过其实,只能说是有特色吧。地铁站建在地下很深的深处,要乘好久的扶梯。不是所有的莫斯科地铁站都装潢的很美,大多数很普通,甚至有点陈旧,但中心的几个主要车站里的确有精品。莫斯科地铁速度快,间隔短,线路辐射广,对于赶时间的人,是最好的代步工具。但在莫斯科乘地铁的体验真的不能说是很美好。首先大多数列车上了年纪,很破旧,运行的时候噪音大,部分车厢灯光昏暗,不适合乘车的时候阅读;其次有几条线路即使在非高峰时段也还是很拥挤;最后也是最重要的是,乘车安全真的很令人担忧,最近网上流传的极端民族主义者在地铁上殴打外国人的视频,相信让不少长居莫斯科的外国人感到心寒。
Make sure to take the Metro while in Moscow. It is cheap and efficient, but more importantly it is gorgeous. It might be the best Metro in the world!
So the Moscow Metro ( Metpo ) is pretty amazing and a bit intimidating for the average not Russian ( can’t read Cyrillic ). The Metro moves more people then the NYC subway and during rush hour can be over whelming but is the fastest way to get anywhere at that time. It’s also an huge and covers most all of Moscow. We used it everywhere we went with the exception of the airport and train station. Dragging bags could be a real pain as there are stairs all over.So this note is in two parts logistics and beauty. Logistics: use your smart phone it will save you. We have ATT ( 120mb - $30 / 300 - $60 ) also includes text messages and phone in country, Soooo worth it. We then got the app Yandex ( it also includes the St. Petersburg metro ) that converts from Cyrillic to English and back. You can also put in two stations and it will tell you how and where to transfer. Each line has a color and a number all signs have the number and color associated. On the back wall is the next 5 or 6 stations match them up and you know you’re on the right line. The first once or twice you try do it on non commute hours. If you get confused just move over to the side and look for signs remember the colors. On the floor you will also find signs in English of the station name, way out etc. Also you can use google translate to write in Russian Cyrillic take a photo of it and show them. We did this at the train station and the metro with ( is-vanecha yane nemnogoa penny mio parusiki / Excuse me I Understand little Russian ) . The phone will also work wonders once out of the metro mapping you to that final location. We did find some issue here, I think the buildings got in the way. If you wish to Photograph the actual stations I would suggest off hours as much as possible. Sunday night after say 5:00 (17:00 ) is about as good as you can get. Metro Closes about 1:00 and reopens at 6:00 keep that. Beauty: Many of the metro stops are just amazing works, most of the finer ones are on the brown circle line. Urban Legand states Stalin put his coffee cup on the metro map and no subway engineer dared question it. So the brown line was born. My favorite station was the Dostoyevskaya ( Dostoyevsky station) built in 2010. People were upset it showed a murder. The artist reply: It’s Dostoyevsky what you want people singing and dancing? It is worth the trip on the light green line. Next Polshchad Revolyutsil (Revolution/red Square) red or dark blue line. The brass works are amazing find the lucky dog and rub his nose for good luck. Mayakovskaya: done at the end of the war the stainless and marble are stunning. Kiyevskaya:with the murals are pretty amazing to see.
The thing I was mostly surprise about the Moscow metro (besides Cyrillic) was the decoration and the statues remember the travellers a bit of Russian history.Must said is that since the stairs are quite steeper I had some vertigo, so be prepared.
我从酒店到克里姆林宫和红场。这个旅程很棒,有人带领我们,和我们一起去。和东京的地铁相比,这的自动扶梯移动得太快,火车开始的太猛。
如果你打算餐馆莫斯科地铁,想要欣赏苏维埃建筑的的杰作,你最好周末去,因为那时没那么多人。莫斯科会是个很繁忙的城市,尤其是在高峰期。最漂亮的车站是在环线上,包括Komsomokskaya、 Belorusskaya、Kievskaya、Novoslobodkaya。Ploshad Revolutsii车站也同样值得参观,位于莫斯科的正中心。
