The Moscow Metro is a rapid transit system serving Moscow and the neighbouring town of Krasnogorsk. Opened in 1935 with one 11-kilometres line and 13 stations, it was the first underground railway system in the Soviet Union.

 The Moscow Metro has 185 stations and its route length is kilometres.

 The system is mostly underground, with the deepest section 84 meters below ground at the Park Pobedy station.

 The Moscow Metro is the world's second- most-heavily-used rapid transit system, after Tokyo's twin subway.

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.

 The first line, from Okhotny Ryad to Smolenskaya, was opened to the public on 15 May 1935 at 07:00. It was 11 kilometres long and included 13 stations. The line connected Sokolniki and Park Kultury. The latter branch was extended westwards to a new station (Kiyevskaya) in March 1937, the first Metro line crossing the Moskva River over the Smolensky Metro Bridge.

 The Moscow Metro is open from about 05:30 until 01:00.
