Begovaya

Begovaya ( _ru. Беговая, lit. "running") is a station on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. Named after the nearby hippodrome, the station was opened on December 30, 1972, as part of the Krasnopresnensky radius. Originally the architect Cherimin thought to apply, to the typical pillar-trispan "Novaya Sorokonozhka", a design of pillars starting as a square at the top and octagonally transforming into a square that is at 45 degrees to the top layout. The floor that was covered in dark coloured granite and the walls with ceramic tiles, with metallic artworks on the theme of horse sports. The station was the first to have a repair work done on its walls when the ceramic tiles were replaced by white marble. The vestibules feature a combined escalator/staircase and the top portal is decorated with artwork "Mighty Horsemen", all of which along with the wall artworks are done by the artist Ladygin. The vestibules are situated next to a junction between the 1905 street, 3rd Transport Ring (originally called Begovaya, hence the name) the Khoroshevo highway and the Rozanova street. On the tunnel between the Ulitsa 1905 goda and Begovaya stations is an access branch that leads into the Krasnaya Presnya depot, which used to serve the Krasnopresnenskaya Line from 1972 until 1975 when the Planernoe depot opened.

53,550 commuters use the station daily.
