About Novosibirsk Metro

The Novosibirsk Metro is a rapid transit system serving Novosibirsk, Russia's third-largest city. Opened on January 7, 1986, it became the first metro system in Siberia and the fourth one built in Russia. The system consists of two lines - Leninskaya (red) and Dzerzhinskaya (green), with a total length of 10 miles (16 kilometers).

Currently, the metro network includes 13 stations, with most of them featuring unique architectural designs and decorations reflecting local culture and history. The system carries approximately 250,000 passengers daily, making it an essential part of Novosibirsk's public transportation infrastructure. The metro operates from 6:00 AM to midnight, with trains running every 3-5 minutes during peak hours.

One of the system's most notable features is the Metro Bridge across the Ob River, which is the world's first metro bridge designed to withstand severe Siberian winters with temperatures dropping below -40°F (-40°C). The bridge serves both metro trains on its lower deck and vehicular traffic on its upper deck.

The stations are located at significant depths, ranging from 26 to 197 feet (8 to 60 meters) underground, due to the city's geological conditions and harsh climate. All stations are equipped with escalators, and the system maintains an average speed of 23 mph (37 km/h).

The Novosibirsk Metro continues to develop, with plans for expansion including the construction of new stations on both existing lines. The system uses Russian-made 81-714/717 metro cars, which are specifically designed to operate in severe climate conditions.
