– 6 stations of 10 (Aviastroitelnaya, Severny vokzal, Yash’lek, Ploschad Tukaya, Sukonnaya sloboda, Gorki) are equipped with wheelchair platforms;
– 2 stations (Kremlyovskaya and Amet’evo) are equipped with portable wheelchair lifts.

– 18 routes (19%) at 4 stations are fully accessible for wheelchair-users;
– 46 routes (48%) at 9 stations are fully equipped for parents with strollers and commuters with sized luggage.

Some stations are inaccessible for wheelchair-users because of continued construction and maintenance works (Prospect pobedy) or too narrow doors (720 mm), which can become an obstacle for some wheelchairs (Sukonnaya sloboda, Yash’lek)

P.S. We continue to collect the accessibility data of metro systems and add them to our application. If you want for your city to appear in Metro4All – go and read this.
