“It is a huge event. The new station will serve a large district of New Moscow,” Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said at the opening ceremony, RBC reported.

In the next few years the metro is set to open many new stations ?€” expanding the transportation system to both distant districts of the capital and the Moscow region.

The Salaryevo station is located beyond the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) ?€” between Kievskoye Shosse and the village of Salaryevo.

Salaryevo is the second metro station opened this year. The Rumyantsevo station ?€” also on the Red Line ?€” was opened earlier this year.
