List of Moscow metro stations

This is a list of Moscow metro stations, including all stations in use, all abandoned stations and all stations under construction. The Moscow Metro (Russian: Московское метро) is the world's second most heavily used rapid-transit system after the Tokyo Subway. The systems was opened in 1935 and has since then been expanded to 305.7 kilometres (190.0 mi) of route length, 12 lines and 185 stations. The Moscow Metro is known for the ornate design of many of its stations, which contain examples of socialist realist art. On a normal weekday the metro carries over 7 million passengers. Passenger traffic is considerably lower on weekends bringing the average daily passenger traffic during the year to 6.8 million passengers per day. The Moscow Metro is a state-owned enterprise.

Each line of the Moscow Metro is identified by a number (with the exception of the Butovskaya Light Metro Line), a name and a color. Most lines run radially through the city, except for the Koltsevaya Line (number 5), which is a ring connecting all the radial lines and a few smaller lines outside. The system was built almost entirely underground, with less than 10 percent of the stations being at or above the surface level. The Moscow Metro is open from about 5:30 until 1:00. During peak hours, trains run roughly every 90 seconds on most lines. At other times during the day, they run about every two to three and a half minutes, and every six to ten minutes late at night.
