The metro map in Chinese is already in the hands of 2,000 passengers! That’s the number of people who have:
- Received a paper version of the map at more than 30 Live Communication desks.
- Downloaded the electronic version from the Unified Transport Portal.
We’re sharing details about the Chinese-language map, which we developed together with native speakers:
We prepared the names of metro stations and other transportation facilities using the generally accepted transcription system – Palladius. According to this method, they are similar in sound to the names in Russian.
We translated the map legend: the meanings of the pictograms, information about the operation of the metro, and indicated the Alexandra chatbot and the Moscow Metro app.
We maintained the familiar design so that visitors can easily find the stations they need on other maps in transport.
According to the Transport Complex Development Program until 2030, approved by the Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin, we are making urban transport personalized and convenient for everyone. This year, the metro map will appear on new digital media, as well as on touch screens in Moskva modification trains. In the future, the map will appear in the Moscow Metro and Moscow Transport apps, – said Maksim Liksutov.
In our clip, native speakers pronounce the names of various metro and MCD stations in Chinese.
