Digital navigation displays are being installed across the Moscow Metro, gradually replacing traditional signs. By 2030, more than 3,500 such screens are expected to be in operation.

Electronic displays offer greater flexibility in how information is delivered. Updates can be made quickly and centrally, eliminating the need for staff to manually replace signage.

“This significantly simplifies operational processes. There’s no need to involve personnel, no need to work overnight installing updates—everything is handled remotely from a workstation, with information uploaded and displayed almost instantly,” said Dmitry Bochkov, spokesperson for the Moscow Metro.

Real-Time Guidance

Digital navigation makes the metro more convenient for passengers. Information is updated quickly, so any changes to routes or schedules are immediately reflected on the screens.

“Passengers receive information in real time. They don’t need to search, figure things out, or ask for help. A quick glance at a digital display shows where exits are, where to transfer, where elevators for passengers with reduced mobility are located, and more. In essence, all the necessary information is available instantly,” Bochkov said.

Already in Use

Digital screens are already being used at a new transfer hub at Akademicheskaya station and at the exit of Vavilovskaya station on the Troitskaya Line. The system there has been updated, with 10 dynamic navigation screens installed.

The metro network continues to expand. In 2026, three new stations are set to open in Moscow, with the digital navigation system serving as a core feature.
