Moscow transport will operate as usual during the lockdown

During non-working days from October 28 to November 7 in the capital, Moscow transport will continue to work with the usual intensity and in the usual schedule. This is stated in the TELEGRAM channel of the Moscow Department of Transport.

“We will fully maintain the intervals of movement of metro trains, suburban trains and surface transport so that you can maintain social distance,” the message said. The department emphasized that they would continue to intensively disinfect vehicles and all surfaces in accordance with the instructions of Rospotrebnazor.

According to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow and HEAD of the Department of Transport Maxim Liksutov, head of the capital Sergey Sobyanin instructed to maintain the intensity of traffic and the operation of transport so that passengers can maintain social distance.

The proposal to declare non-working days from October 30 to November 7 was earlier made by Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a corresponding decree. In addition, Putin noted that the authorities of each region can start the period of non-working days earlier or extend it at their discretion.
