Along Tverskaya only on foot

“Journey to Christmas” brings together thousands of people in the capital who are not afraid of either frost or slush. A dense crowd of people walks along the sidewalks of Tverskaya, moving from site to site, looking at the light installations that decorate Moscow. Tverskaya - from Triumfalnaya Square to the Kremlin - is given over to pedestrians for five whole days. Local one-lane closures will begin tomorrow, December 29. And then the main street of the city, as well as Mokhovaya, Okhotny Ryad and almost all adjacent lanes will be completely blocked - this will happen on the night of Saturday, December thirtieth, and will only be opened on January 3rd. On the last day of the old year, all approaches to Red Square, including Varvarka, Ilyinka, and the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge, will be closed. Cars will also be allowed there again only on the third.

Metro all night

Of course, the easiest way to get to the center on New Year's Day and on the days of closures is by metro. For the second time on December 31, the subway will operate all night, without interruption. As the head of the Moscow Metro, Viktor Kozlovsky, said, trains will run on the night of January 1 at intervals of 3.5 to 10 minutes. The Moscow Central Circle will operate according to the same schedule. That is, after celebrating the New Year and listening to the chimes in the center of the capital, you can easily return home.

Prices for season tickets will rise by several tens of rubles. But not significantly - the maximum increase in price is 3.8 percent.

But electric trains, as Maxim Dyakonov, executive director of the Center for Transport and Communications, promised, will most likely not rise in price next year. But in the first half of the year the company is going to finally release an application through which you can buy single tickets for trips, which will save passengers from having to run to the ticket office every time - today 70 percent of tickets sold at ticket offices and vending machines are single tickets.
