In addition, for individuals with disabilities, as well as for passengers with small children and strollers, lifts are provided that take them directly to the platforms. A modern rail mount has reduced train noise. The interval between formulations is approximately six minutes. The passenger flow of the Gorkovskaya metro station in Nizhny Novgorod on the first day of operation was about 23 thousand people, and in the first half of the year - 3 million.
