The first underground railway line opened 70 years ago on 15th May, 1935. Enthusiasm and efforts of thousands of workers made the dream about building palaces for common people come true. Since then Moscow metro has become an integral part of the Russian history and several generations of Russians. I would like to congratulate our staff on the occasion and express my gratitude for their attachment to work making Moscow metro most quick, reliable and comfortable kind of transport. We have approached the anniversary with significant achievements. On September 2, this year we opened a new long awaited exit from Mayakovskaya station (the first stage of old stations upgrading programme) and on September 10 Delovoy centre station featuring the most modern architectural style. Besides cutting red ribbons in this jubilee year we have made most significant improvements over the past few years developing and introducing new technologies and equipment. In May we opened the so-called “Situation centre” being the first of such kind in the world which accumulates real time information from the whole metro system. Information may be communicated via specially designed red-and-blue emergency (help) panels being installed in all metro stations. Pressing the knob on the panel passengers are immediately connected with the Situation centre operators.

Moscow metro, one of the best transport systems of the world is the appropriate combination of these factors. In 2007 we accomplished good results. Within several months at the beginning of the year we opened four new stations for the public use. And in August we opened one more, Trubnaya station which at once became one of the most frequently used interchange stations. In December we opened Sretensky Bulvar station and before the New Year the fi rst train ran from the new Kuntsevskaya station on Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line to the long awaited Strogino station. At present the route length of Moscow metro is about three hundred kms and the number of stations is nearly two hundred. We expect to continue our development at a good pace. Due to fi nancial and administrative support of the Government of Moscow in the new century metro construction has been progressing fast and with good quality results. We have done much to upgrade our rolling stock and other technical devices. During the passed year our depots received several batches of new cars to replace the out-of-date stock. At the same time we refurbished the previous generations stock to fi t the up-to-date standards.
