The St. Petersburg subway experienced problems Saturday morning when service stopped on the Moskovsko-Petrogradskaya line. Trains halted between Prospekt Prosveshcheniya station and Parnas. Metro officials described the problem as brief and technical but gave no details about what happened on the Blue Line. Service returned to normal quickly after the disruption.
This marks the second recent subway problem following an April 8 incident on the Frunzensko-Primorskaya line when someone fell onto the tracks. That earlier breakdown caused major crowding during rush hour as commuters struggled to reach their destinations. The city government previously announced plans to build 16 new metro stations across St. Petersburg by 2035.
Transportation officials continue monitoring the system for any additional issues. Regular maintenance checks aim to prevent similar breakdowns across all lines. Riders can find current service updates through the official metro website and mobile app. The metro carries millions of passengers daily across Russia's second-largest city.
