Novosibirsk Metro is arapid transit system that servesNovosibirsk,Siberia,Russia. The system consists of 15.9 kilometres (9.9 mi)[1] over track on two lines with 14 stations.[1] It opened in January 1986, becoming the eleventh Metro in theUSSR and the ninth in theRussian SFSR. According to 2017 statistics, it is the third-busiest system in Russia behindMoscow andSaint Petersburg.[3]
Plans for arapid transit system began to be formed in 1962. The construction project was approved by theCouncil of Ministers in November 1978, and on 12 May 1979 the first construction works began.[4]
With wide experience in metro construction from the othermetros of the USSR, it took seven-and-a-half years to complete the work on the five-station launch stage of the system. The commissioning certificate was signed by the state commission on 28 December 1985,[5] and the Metro was opened for passengers on 7 January 1986, becoming the eleventh Metro in the USSR and the ninth in the Russian SFSR. Work quickly expanded to meet the original plans for a four-line 62 km network. However, the financial difficulties of the early 1990s meant that most of the work had to be frozen. Construction of new stations and tunnels resumed in the 2000s. After the opening of the 13th station, a further development was suspended again due to financing gap.
The system contains 14 stations on two lines. The stations are vividly decorated in late-Soviet style. Of the 13 stations, seven are three-spanshallow column stations (Studencheskaya,Oktyabrskaya,Krasny Prospekt,Gagarinskaya,Ploshchad Garina-Mikhaylovskogo,Sibirskaya,Marshala Pokryshkina), one is two-spanshallow column station (Zolotaya Niva), four aresingle-vault stations (Ploshchad Lenina,Ploshchad Marksa,Zayeltsovskaya,Beryozovaya Roshcha). All of these stations haveisland platform. There is also one station withside platforms (Rechnoy Vokzal) that is both above- and below-ground that follows a 2145 mcovered bridge span of theOb, the longest in the world.Krasny Prospekt andSibirskaya aretransfer stations connected to each other by dual pedestrian tunnel.
The Novosibirsk Metro transports about 235,300 passengers daily. It transported 86.1 million passengers in 2024.[2]
