Maxim Liksutov reported that over the past year the number of female train drivers in the Moscow Metro has increased by 30%.
Moscow Metro – women are train drivers too.
Moscow metro – women are also drivers.
Today they operate modern Moskva trains on two metro lines: lines 4 and 15.
Before becoming drivers, each of them completed training at the Corporate University of Moscow Transport.
Interesting fact: on Line 4, all train drivers – both men and women – work together with assistants. This is the only metro line that is not equipped with the ALS-ARS system (automatic locomotive signaling with automatic speed control), which requires two drivers to operate the train.
Women returned to the profession of Moscow Metro train drivers in January 2021, and their numbers continue to grow. Today, there are 120 female train drivers and their assistants. We create comfortable working conditions for all employees in accordance with the initiative of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, added Maxim Liksutov.
