‼ The unmanned metro train traveled 10,000 km The first unmanned Russian metro train traveled more than 10,000 km without passengers during tests on the Big Circle Line (BCL) of the Moscow Metro. The trial operation began in January 2026. RFID tags have been installed at all 29 stations, guaranteeing a stop with an accuracy of up to 30 cm. Also, computer vision systems, automatic guidance and communication with the control center are being tested, and at the Pchatniki station, technology is being tested to monitor the approach of passengers to the end of the platform. By the end of 2026, the train is planned to switch to continuous operation without passengers, adhering to standard metro intervals. Tests with passengers will begin in 2027, and by 2030 the BKL should become the first completely unmanned metro line.
