Passenger: Alright. How can I get to the city centre?

Metro worker: You need the second entrance.

Passenger: Where is it?

Metro worker: It is on the other side of the street. You need to cross the road and turn left then go straight ahead. The entrance is on the right.

Passenger: What should I do next?

Metro worker: Take the southbound train and go 2 stops until the terminal station.

Passenger: Do I need to change trains?

Metro worker: No, you don’t. Don’t exit the train. This train will go in the northbound direction.

Passenger: How much time will it take me to get to the terminal station?

Metro worker: Oh, not much. About 5 minutes.

Passenger: Thank you so much for your help.

Metro worker: Never mind. It’s my pleasure.

 

 

Passenger: Hello, ma’am, excuse me. What is going on here?

Metro worker: Hello, don’t worry, there are regular repair work carried out on the track.

Passenger: Oh, it’s so uncomfortable. How can I get to D station?

Metro worker: Ok, I can help you. You see trains do not go only between V and R stations. You can use the circle line to get to L station and change to R station, the red line. After then keep going to D station.

Passenger: How long will the entrance be closed?

Metro worker: About 2 weeks.

Passenger: Are there any alternative ways to get to the station D?

Metro worker: Yes, there are. You need to get to the G station, the green line, then transfer to H station, the purple line, and go to the station M. Then change to B station, the blue line, and go to the red line. Transfer to the red line and keep going to your station.

Passenger: Perhaps, you know how to get to my station on ground transport?

Metro worker: Unfortunately, not. But you can turn to the information desk.

Passenger: Where is it?

Metro worker: It is in the western vestibule. You should go down the escalator and turn left, then go straight ahead and at the end of the platform go upstairs. The info desk is on the right.

Passenger: Oh, thank you so much for your help.

Metro worker: You are welcome. Have a good journey.

 

 

Passenger: Hello, sir. How can I get on to the platform?

Metro worker: Hello, for wheelchair user and people who are disabled or less able to walk we have lifts and step-free accesses. But unfortunately this station is not equipped with these kinds of facilities and step-free access is under reconstruction.

Passenger: Well, what should I do now?

Metro worker: Have you left a request for being assisted?

Passenger: No, I haven’t. Could you help me to get down onto the platform?

Metro worker: Sorry, I can’t help you alone. You need the other entrance. There is a ramp on the stairs.

Passenger: Where is it? Is the entrance far from the metro?

Metro worker: Oh, it’s not far, 3 minutes on foot. Look, you need to exit the metro and turn right. Then you go 300 meters along the street and the entrance is on the right on the same side of the street.

Passenger: How can I get any information on which stations are closed due to repair work and which are equipped with lifts, ramps and step-free accesses?

Metro worker: All necessary information you can get on the website of the Moscow metro.

Passenger: Thank you very much for your help.

Metro worker: You are welcome. It’s my pleasure.

Passenger: Goodbye.

Metro worker: Goodbye, have a good day.
