The Moscow Metro is one of the most unusual and interesting types of public transport. Some claim that it is simply impossible to get lost in it. Others believe that getting to their destination and getting out of the metro is an overwhelming task. And all this despite the fact that literally the entire metro is equipped with information signs. So how can you get your bearings in the subway?
Instructions
Step 1
If you visit the metro quite rarely, then first you need to decide on how you will go to the station you need. For this, a large stand with an up-to-date map of the Moscow metro is placed in the subway lobby right at the entrance. Determine where your location is. Then find the station you are going to. According to the scheme, determine which branches they are and the optimal transplant options. And only after that go down directly to the metro.
Step 2
Inside, pointers will help you too. Above each crossing (if the stations are docking) there are information boards that tell you what stations are on this branch. This will help you better understand where you are going to change.
Step 3
The platforms also have information that is already divided into two parts. One points to the left side of the apron and describes in order those stations that exist in this direction. On the right side is another plate with a description of the stations in the other direction.
Step 4
Also, there are special stands placed on the wall of the platform (where the trains stop) to help you. It lists the stations in the order in which they go in the direction of the train. And also there is information about which station you can transfer to a certain line. All this should help you easily navigate and develop your route in detail. And if you follow all the prompts of the metro information system, then it is almost impossible to get lost in it.
Step 5
Also, you will be helped by the signs that are placed above the transitions from station to station. According to them, you can determine exactly where you need to go down into the passage, where is the exit from it. Also in the metro there are signs of staircases and escalators, which determine where and how the flow of people should move, so as not to create traffic jams.
