 The Moscow Metro is a rapid transit system serving Moscow, Russia and the neighbouring Moscow Oblast towns of Krasnogorsk and Reutov. Opened in 1935 with one 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) line and 13 stations, it was the first underground railway system in the Soviet Union. As of 2014, the Moscow Metro has 195 stations and its route length is km.

 The first plans for a metro system in Moscow date back to the Russian Empire but were postponed by World War I, the October Revolution and the Russian Civil War. In 1923, the Moscow City Council formed the Underground Railway Design Office at the Moscow Board of Urban Railways. The first lines were built using the Moscow general plan designed by Lazar Kaganovich, along with his project managers in the 1930s- 1950's, and the Metro was named after him until 1955 (Metropoliten im. L.M. Kaganovicha).

 Moscow metro is the main public transport of the capital carrying over a half of all city passengers. Many metro stations and ticket halls represent historical, cultural and architectural monuments and are protected by the government. Metro is a risk- prone transport enterprise, therefore passengers must conform to its rules.  Entrance and payment  Metro stations are open for passengers daily from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. It’s a violation to carry bulky luggage, fire weapons, bicycles, items that may damage other passengers; animals and birds without special containers or cages.
