The capital’s metro has begun preparations for the winter season. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

“On behalf of Sergei Sobyanin, we ensure comfortable travel for passengers on public transport. The Moscow Metro prepares the infrastructure for the change of seasons twice a year – summer and winter. We start work in advance so that when the weather changes, the temperature at stations and in trains remains comfortable,” said Maxim Liksutov.

Every autumn, about six thousand second vestibule doors are returned to the metro. By the end of October, they will be installed at all stations. In addition, air-heat curtains are being tested: they are located at the entrances and exits and provide air heating.

When cold weather sets in, tunnel ventilation and air conditioning in trains are switched to winter mode. In addition, many metro stations have stairs with heating systems that prevent ice from forming.
