According to the deputy mayor, the number of those who switch from private transport to public transport is increasing in Moscow, since the latter presupposes saving time. The authorities plan to expand the infrastructure further, building new metro stations, Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) and the Big Circle Line (BCL).
