“Moscow Metro chief Dmitry Gayev says the underground system aims to catch up with the city's development scale by 2020.”

“According to Mr Gayev, the Moscow Metro made an operating profit of "a bit more than 1bn roubles" ($33.4m, £22.6m) in 2009.”

“However, Mr Gayev stresses that the London Underground is 1.6 times larger than the Moscow one.”

“Mr Gayev says the Moscow Metro needs to build 50-70bn roubles' worth of new stations and tracks annually to be able to catch up with the Russian capital's development scale by 2020.”
