Another day in metro, bro...

Today we`ll go down. We gonna get to Moscow metro depth. Have you ever been there? Think not so many people here can say "yes". But even if you were there we`re not sure that you seen real rush hour. By the way almost 9,5 million passengers choose this transport resourse everyday! Cause its fast and always on time. Maybe you don`t know but many working and study Moskovites basically live very far from their main being places, i mean offices, business-centers, universities. They`re all inside of the Garden Ring-road - so from suburbs to here area by metro it`s 35 minutes at average. Car? Don`t think about dis, because the road from your home to the city centre can take 2 hours or even more! Yes yes. Devilish traffic!

Rush hour in Moscow Metro is begin at 7-8 am till maybe 10 am. And the evening time of course when people come back home - since 5 till 8 pm. Mark this times and better don`t use metro if you don`t wanna feel there like sardines in a tin. Lets people go and then you can enjoy the beauty of Moscow subway, because it`s really fantastic. This is the art! In our blog we`ll show you the best examles of different architecture style.
