Hey, I’m on the CNN website. They wanted to have a foreigners view on Moscow. I’ve said some bad things about the city as well, but when shortening the article they must have cut them out. Well, better than the usual Russia bashing in the foreign media.
Anyway, read yourself (on CNN):

Wow! I’m impressed. Just found this really cool tool and from the looks of it, its from the official Moscow Metro authorities. Its a flash based map, which allows you to plan a trip. Its looking for the fastest way and calculating the time you need from A to B. This is a great and useful tool and even in English! If it would only load a bit faster and be printable, but nothing is perfect.
Here is it http://engl.mosmetro.ru/flash/scheme01.html
