Moscow boasts one of the most comprehensive and heavily utilized public transportation networks in the world.
The crown jewel is the **Moscow Metro**, renowned for its deep, palatial stations adorned with marble, mosaics, and chandeliers. The system spans over a dozen lines, carrying millions of passengers daily. This is supplemented by the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) and Moscow Central Diameters (MCD), integrating overground rail into the urban transit map.
Surface transport includes an extensive network of electric buses, trams, and standard buses. Moscow is connected to the world via four major international airports: Sheremetyevo (SVO), Domodedovo (DME), Vnukovo (VKO), and Zhukovsky (ZIA). The city is ringed by massive orbital highways (like the MKAD) and radial avenues, though traffic congestion remains a historic challenge. Active transport is supported by a growing network of bicycle lanes and massive ride-share and car-share fleets.
