Despite this, Mosmetro is still operating at a loss, so we expect prices to rise again.

Do those long-distance sleeper trains still exist where you have a bunch of bunks in open compartments? Or is everyone just taking the plane for those routes these days?

You ever read the Metro books by Glukhovsky/ played the games. I’m just curious how accurate the setting are

I think you mean a "plackart". The reserved seat is still widely used in our country, but we do not have trains that have a reserved seat but no compartment — there is always the option to choose a compartment, but recently some trains do not have a reserved seat. A plackart is 1.5 - 2 times cheaper than a coupe, and I think that a reserved seat is still not such a bad option for transportation. But there are seats on two trains that leave the departure city at 22 PM and arrive at the final destination at 6 AM.

How are the Moscow Central Diameters? Have they meaningfully changed transportation in Moscow? The trains look nice

A
Anon03/19/25, 20:10No.2037028
I think so, because passengers have more similar routes. Previously, people could only choose the subway because, first of all, to take the train, you need to look at the timetable, otherwise you can wait a long time, and the subway always runs often. Now trains also run frequently and you don't have to look at the timetable in advance, but just come to the station knowing that you will definitely leave on time. And of course, the comfort of new electric trains plays a role.
Based on all this, the flow of passengers is evenly distributed between the metro and the trains.
Also, the presence of diameters through the center of Moscow plays a role. If the line ends at a train station in Moscow, then passengers simply arrive at the train station and the whole crowd goes to the subway at one/two/ three stations of the same transfer hub, then they go to the line they need and switch to it. But now people can immediately make direct transfers to those lines that they previously could not, and the excess occupancy of other lines is decreasing.

OP post pics and info on Kalanchyovskaya resp. Ploschad Tryokh Vokzalov station. This seems to be one of the major elements of the central diameter right?
From what it seems on the map three lines ought to pass through there.Also question: Apart from the suburban elektrichkas is there much regional rail service around moscow (not long distance)?

Are you still here, comrade. Do you fly? Here Russian aircraft are uncommon, but I do see An-2, An-12, An-124, Il-76 and Yak trainer. We also get the Czech L-410 and Mi-8 helicopter.Never mind the trolls here. I am from Belarus, but live in the US now. Some of your pictures bring back memories of the transport network.If you see the 4TE10, please send me a picture. Also please send me a picture of any airfields. Despite me mentioning the above types, they are few and far between. In fact, I am homesick enough to import model airplanes of the aircraft of the past. My favorite is the oкypoк as we used to call it (yak-40 is the technical name). For Westerners, it was an airliner that seated about 30 people, but it had three jet engines. Its smoke could be seen for miles around. They were still flying the last time I checked, despite being a 50 year old design at this point. Not for Aeroflot, but still flying nevertheless.

Moscow Monorail has ceased operation. They're going to convert it into an elevated park instead. They decided on a very short notice, people were notified only a day in advance, so there's definitely some shenanigans abound. I was busy that day so I couldn't come but I've heard that trains were super packed.
But on the other hand, it was already on its last legs because they decided to make everything bespoke instead of buying an existing system and then failed to procure even replacement parts, nevermind new rolling stock, and most of its route is doubled up by a tram that literally goes right underneath for most of the route, so not a big loss for transit. RIP to yet another gadgetbahn.
