Ride on Moscow Metro Escalator

You can easily get addicted to the Moscow Metro. To me, it even tops the ones from Berlin, Paris and London in several ways. (Have not been to Tokyo yet.) It has the most beautiful stations, which take you back a long
way in history, its bluish colour is lovely, it's really very fast, it is noisy, tickets are extraordinaily cheap (a single ride amounting to something like 20 cent - 0,20 Euros), it is amazingly packed at rush hour, and if you get lost on your first or second day trying to change for a different line you will probably be helped by some kind Russian citizen who will actually accompany (!!) you to the other level and platform which may be far away.- That long escalator is in Petrovsko-Razumovskaya station.

Is this a request? Please specify.

In Saint-Petersburg (it's in Russia too) escalators are much longer in the center of the city because of squishy terrain and deep Neva river. Peter I, Russian imperator, insisted on building city that place. There is stations where you need 5+ minutes to go on ground! Really deep. :)

Sorry for bad english and best regards from Moscow city! ^^

@yerminsv Perfect English, don't worry! Thanks for commenting. So those seem to be the longest escalators indeed, cannot be topped I think!

Have a nice weekend (just as we try over here in Berlin)...

thats a looong escalator.... it needs to be fast enough not to bore people..

[pandaartfactory]

Hi and thanks for commenting! As a matter of fact you may indeed get bored riding that long escalator because it is n o t very fast. Only you wouldn't really have a choice, would you. (Even in modern Russia service is not exactly about "spoiling" customers, I think...)

Hey I've been on this, make sure you stay to the right and not on the left side or the Muscovites will push your ass to the side...HA!

2.) Dear passengers, we would like to bring it to your attention that on the territory of the moscow metro it is illegal to put up your signs or ads unless done this is done so with an official permit from the Moscow Metro. Violators will be fined and/or sued (although they said it in a really dry manner that would be hard to translate). Please remain vigilant and do not trust suspicious adds as they may contain false information.

@francisco5605 В Петербурге самый глубокий в Европе метрополитен )) 

[childeric57]

When you're on these ultralong Moscow elevators, look across to the people going in the opposite direction; they seem to all be leaning, like thousands of Pisan towers. I used to get a laugh from this as I slowly proceeded up or down...
