Moscow through the eyes of the MCD passengers

The Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) are the city rail routes that connect the districts of Moscow and the nearest suburbs through the center of the capital. The Diameters were launched in November 2019; about 500 thousand people use them daily. Thanks to the MCD, the Moscow public transport system has become even more convenient, modern, and comfortable. The MCD with a train interval of 5-7 minutes, renewed rolling stock, favorable tariffs, and integration with the metro and surface transport have become in demand among passengers as an analog of the subway.

The MCD is not only convenient but beautiful as well. The city landscapes and even the sights of the capital are seen from the train window. It turns out the excursion around Moscow and the nearest suburbs for only 47 rubles (less than a dollar!) with the Troika transport card.

One of the visible sights while traveling along the first diameter is the Moscow City business district. The modern skyscrapers are seen from the train window on the stretch between Fili and Testovskaya stations.
