1. Feel like a driver of the Big Circle Line
If you've ever wondered how to manage a huge train, there's a great chance to find out: try driving a train yourself. At the exhibition "Manege Station» you can drive through the tunnels on an interactive subway simulator. It completely imitates a real cockpit - here are the same screens, instruments and buttons, and BKL stations rush past the window. It will be possible to accelerate to 80-90 km / h! Consultants work at the booth, who explain where to press and where to step on the gas, so that even children can try on the profession of a driver.
The theme of the metro at the exhibition is not exhausted by this. Here, guests are offered to choose the color of the interior of the future train and compare the BCL with other transport rings in the world (spoiler: in Russia - the longest in the world!). You will be able to start immersing yourself in the transport industry of the capital right at the entrance to the Manege: there, guests are greeted by real carriages of the Moscow-2020 and Ivolga-3.0 trains. And you can move between the stands on mock-ups of cars stylized as the metro and MCD.
To learn more2. Rate retro Muscovites and novelties from Aurus
Although "Manege Station” and is dedicated to urban transport, there is also an auto exhibition here. The organizers have prepared the Muscovite's Walk of Fame - an exposition of experimental models of these machines. Here are eight models that have not been launched into mass production, from the Moskvich-2150 SUV to the promising development of the Car of the Year 2000. They were constructed between 1970 and 1990.
Those who love modern cars more should take a walk to technological innovations from Aurus. At the exhibition, the Russian auto industry is showing the low-carbon NAMI Hydrogen and the first electric motorcycle of the Aurus brand, the Merlon.
3. View the latest electric ship from all sides
This summer, electric ships began to ply the Moscow River again. The project was restarted 17 years after the closure of river navigation in the capital. Now both tourists and citizens can use this transport. If you are constantly driving and have not yet seen the new water trams, the exhibition will be able to correct this unfortunate omission. The river transport stand is designed as a life-size electric ship, so you can see all the details. And if you want to add some dynamics, go for a virtual tour of the first regular route between the Kyiv and Heart of the Capital berths.
At the exhibition, it will also be possible to choose a water excursion to your liking. For example, get acquainted with the new route "River Golden Ring" - from the Northern River Station to the Southern.

Now the convenience of the ground metro is proved by the numbers: daily passenger traffic MCC - more than 600 thousand people. The new transport not only helped to unload the roads, but also transformed the industrial zones of the capital. Modern quarters began to be built and developed around the ring. The MCC installation will help to see exactly how this happened. The animated train moves around the circular screen and transforms the “rusty belt of Moscow” into new residential complexes, parks and well-maintained recreation areas.
