Deputy mayor Liksutov: since the beginning of the year from violators in the Moscow metro recovered more than 3.2 million rubles

In 2026, the Moscow metro collected more than 3.2 million rubles from violators of the rules for delays in train traffic. For descent on the way, retention of wagon doors, attempts to penetrate tunnels and office premises of the subway, the perpetrators not only bear administrative or, in severe cases, criminal liability - but also are obliged to compensate for damage caused to the transport. In this case, we are talking about violation of the schedule of the metro.

“The Moscow metro is the basis of the transport system of the city, passengers make about 8 million trips here daily, taking into account the ICC,” said Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. According to the task of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, we strictly control the reliability and safety of transportation. Since the beginning of 2026, the lawyers of the subway have recovered more than 3.2 million rubles from the perpetrators of train delays. A legal assessment shall be given to each such case and all damages shall be recovered in full.”.

The Moscow metro today is one of the busiest in the world, during peak hours trains follow with a 90-second interval. That is why almost any unforeseen train stop entails a failure of the schedule; financial losses, according to transport workers, are now about 30 thousand rubles for 1 minute of failure.
