Subway offenses have more than halved in 10 years.

Moscow Metro has achieved a significant milestone by reducing the number of offenses by more than half over the past 10 years. This success is attributed to a combination of advanced technology, enhanced security measures, and coordinated efforts between various services.

Key factors behind this achievement include:

  •  The creation of a dedicated Security Service and the introduction of rigorous inspections.
  •  The active role of the Moscow Government’s Departmental Security Service.
  •  The installation of over 90,000 surveillance cameras across the metro’s infrastructure.
  •  The deployment of the cutting-edge video analytics system called «Sphere».

Maksim Liksutov highlighted the importance of modern technology and teamwork in achieving these results:

Our specialists oversee nearly every square meter of metro’s infrastructure with the help of advanced cameras. The coordinated efforts of the Security Service and law enforcement agencies, combined with modern technology, have made Moscow Metro one of the safest in the world. We will continue to ensure the comfort and safety of passengers in line with the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin.

Moscow Metro’s commitment to safety and innovation underscores its position as a global leader in urban transportation security, providing passengers with a safe and reliable travel experience.
