Moscow Metro recently introduced trains with seamless transitions between cars. Looks neat imo

Amerikkkans still think Russia is some dilapidated dystopia

This is neat, and I adore the lack of advertisements, but we can do better. The sideways seating can be difficult for some people with physical ailments, if that is carpet flooring that's a hard pass from me and cool as the lighting is we can just do better now.

No, carpet is the ideal substrate for urine and vomitus absorption. Aspen or other hardwood chips work well but have a tendency to be scattered by passengers; this is also an issue with cellulose or paper bedding.

My only interaction with Moscow Metro was back in the day in Hitman 2. Thoroughly impressed

Cushioned seats are honestly something I do not want on public transit tbh unless they are easily washable
