Kazan metro

The Kazan Metro is a modern, popular and affordable mode of transport, fast and convenient. It is considered as the safest Metro in Russia.

The operational length of the metro line is 17.2 km. The line has ten stations: Prospekt Pobedy, Gorki, Ametyevo, Sukonnaya Sloboda, Ploshchad Tukaya, Kremlyovskaya, Kozya Sloboda, Yashlek, Severny Vokzal and Aviastroitelnaya. The last three stations on the list were opened on May 9, 2013.

Metro construction is another step in the development of the city’s transport network. It binds together the city, which is located on opposite banks of the Kazanka River, by connecting the two largest residential districts. The metro line provides easy access to 33 sports facilities of the World University Games, including all the major competition venues.
The Kazan Metro currently serves more than 120,000 people every day.
