The Moscow Monorail is a 4.7-kilometre long monorail line located in the North-Eastern Administrative Okrug of Moscow, Russia. It runs from the Timiryazevskaya via Fonvisinskaya and VDNHa metro stations to Sergeya Eisensteina street. The monorail line currently has six stations. Planning of the monorail in Moscow started in 1998. This was a unique project for Russian companies, which did not have prior experience in building monorails. 6,335,510,000 rubles were spent by the city of Moscow on the monorail construction. On 20 November 2004, the monorail opened in excursion mode. On 10 January 2008, the monorail's operation mode was changed to transportation mode with more frequent train service. Ticket prices were reduced from 50 rubles to 19 rubles which was the standard fare for Moscow rapid transport at that time; as of 2012, ticket prices still matched the standard fare, but multi-ride passes could not be used between systems. In April 2012, one of Moscow's transport officials announced that he believed that the system should be closed down and dismantled in the future. However, on 3 October 2012, the vice mayor of Moscow said that the Moscow Monorail would not be closed because of lack of public transportation and very busy highways in that particular part of the city.Since 1 January 2013, all metro tickets have been valid for the monorail. Interchange from the Metro to the Monorail and vice versa is free for 90 minutes after entering the Metro or Monorail.The Moscow Metro operates the monorail, which in 2016 officially became the Line 13 of the network. City officials announced in May 2017 plans to shut down the monorail and replace it with a new tram line.
