About Saint Petersburg Metro

The Saint Petersburg Metro, opened on November 15, 1955, is Russia's second-largest rapid transit system after Moscow. Serving Saint Petersburg and parts of Leningrad Oblast, it carries approximately 2.2 million passengers daily through its 73 stations and five lines, covering a total route length of 128.4 kilometers (79.8 miles).

The system is notable for its deep underground stations, with an average depth of 60 meters (197 feet). The Admiralteyskaya station holds the record as the deepest metro station in Russia and the second deepest in the world, located 86 meters (282 feet) below ground. Many stations feature elaborate decorations and architectural elements, reflecting Soviet-era design and incorporating marble, bronze, and mosaics.

The metro operates from 5:30 AM to 1:00 AM daily, with trains running every 2-3 minutes during peak hours and 4-5 minutes during off-peak times. The system uses a token-based fare system alongside reusable smart cards. All station names and announcements are in Russian, though some navigation signs include English translations.

Currently, the Saint Petersburg Metro employs approximately 16,000 people and maintains a fleet of over 1,900 cars. The system continues to expand, with several new stations under construction and plans for additional lines. The latest expansion occurred on December 27, 2024 with the opening of Gorny Institut station on Line 4.

Safety features include platform screen doors at newer stations and sophisticated ventilation systems. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the metro implemented enhanced cleaning protocols and mandatory mask requirements to ensure passenger safety.
