The Moscow Metro is rightfully considered a genius work of its creators. Every day the metro transports huge flows of people. Despite the general availability of the metro, it has opening hours that should be taken into account when shaping the travel schedule.
What is the time allotted for the work of the subway
The operating hours of the Moscow metro mainly fluctuate between 5.30 am and 1.00 am. You can familiarize yourself with the mode of operation of each specific station on the official website of the metro. You should not rely on approximate calculations if you do not want to torment yourself with waiting or, on the contrary, miss the moment, because the opening times of the lobbies vary between 5.20 and 5.45 hours.
It is noteworthy that for the entry of passengers, all metro doors close at approximately the same time. You can get out from there during the reserve hour, while the last train circulates on its branch until the final stop, which is within 2.00 at night. For late passengers, exiting the metro brings a number of inconveniences, such as, for example, the need to climb a stopped escalator on their own.
The schedule for the closure of metro stations that provide two exits to the city differs in some way from the standard opening hours. In this case, one of them has the right to have a reduced period for receiving passengers - usually from 7.00 am to 22.00 pm. The duration of the second output under such circumstances remains unchanged.
My train is gone
So how can you not miss your train at night looking and leave as early as possible in the morning hours? Alas, only the approximate departure time of the last train from the terminal station of each line is precisely set - 1.00 at night. Accordingly, you should calculate the options for its arrival at the point you need by adding up the time intervals that the train has already covered when moving from one platform to another. This can be done even on the spot, without having at hand either the Internet or other aids, but based only on the experience of previous trips on similar routes and the approximate time spent on them. You will get the most reliable result by referring to the electronic metro scheme provided by Yandex, where the time to cover the required distance is calculated automatically.
Using underground transport saves a lot of time that you don't have to spend on the highway in traffic jams. Knowing the rules for using the metro will protect you from unpleasant incidents and the inability to get to your destination at the right time by the way convenient for you.
