“On the first day of the start of movement, more than 500 thousand people drove along the lines of the first two diameters of МЦД-1 and МЦД-2. Of these, more than 224 thousand people traveled along the Belorussko-Savyolovsky WDC-1 route and more than 277 thousand people traveled along the Kursk-Riga WDC-2 route, the Moscow news agency reports.

The CPPC also clarified that thanks to the opening of the WDC, it was possible to increase passenger traffic by 8% or more than 40 thousand people.

On November 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin opened the movement along the first Moscow central diameter.

The Moscow 24 website reported that new schemes with the first two WDC routes appeared on the Moscow Metro trains.
