Kazan Metro - Trainsets

Trainsets

The system uses the 81-553.3/554.3 "Kazan" cars model, produced by Saint Petersburg-based Vagonmash factory in cooperation with Škoda Dopravní Technika of Plzeň, Czech Republic in 2005. These are the most modern models currently in service in Russia and the former Soviet Union and they are fully automated. As a result, they do not require an engineer or a driver on board, just a supervisor. A total of twenty-four cars are currently in operation with a capacity of 250 people each. In 2010-2011 new 3-car "Rusich" trains vere bought for opening of new "Kozia sloboda" station. The rolling stock is maintained and repaired out of the "Daurskoye" depot.
