en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Moscow Metro's "Business Center" station has begun using a new generation of turnstiles, which are manufactured locally in Moscow. Eight new turnstiles have been installed in the station's western concourse, with plans to add nine more.

The Moscow Department of Transport (Дептранс Москвы) stated that these turnstiles feature a compact, ergonomic shell design, optimizing station space and improving passenger flow efficiency. The equipment is compatible with all current mainstream payment methods, including the virtual transport card "Troika" (Тройка), the Fast Payment System (Система быстрых платежей, СБП), and facial recognition technology.

The turnstiles are also equipped with bright colored indicator lights and vibration feedback to signal successful payment. Currently, these turnstiles are temporarily installed on floating platforms in preparation for final installation, with commissioning work to follow. Maxim Liksutov (Максим Ликсутов), Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport, stated that by the end of 2031, over 4,500 new-generation turnstiles will be deployed across the Moscow Metro, the Moscow Central Circle, and the Moscow Central Diameters, operating faster than existing models. The improved design will increase the number of passageways within the metro by 20%.
