Butovskaya Line ((ロシア語:Бу́товская ли́ния), ) is a line of the Moscow Metro. The line represents an experiment in building rapid-transit in areas where tunnel boring is considered expensive and impractical. In the past, attempts were made to build lines at ground level, however as the Filyovskaya Line showed, harsh Russian winters and the occupation of the large amount of useful land, make such projects impractical. However, new districts on the very edge of the city, particularly those outside the Moscow Automobile Ring Road (''MKAD'') required a rapid-transit connection. As the practicality of tunnel boring is unclear, the system was planned to be above ground since the late 1980s, when Moscow Metro design bureau, ''Metrogiprotrans'', developed a set of projects that would bring rapid-transit beyond MKAD, with the Yuzhnoye Butovo District being the first one.〔()〕 The term ''Light Metro'' () was applied to these new projects, as it would feature a continuous elevated structure. Special rolling stock had to be developed to serve the line, as it would have to be resistant to the harsher climate elements and be able to negotiate sharper curves. For ease of operation, the Light Metro was integrated into the conventional Metro service.〔()〕 The Butovskaya Line essentially extends the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line beyond the Serpukhovsky terminus. The line was opened on 27 December 2003. The first were bored in a tunnel, which allowed for a convenient transfer connection at the Bulvar Dmitriya Donskogo terminus. For the rest of its length it is elevated, with both single and double tracks protected by a sound barrier. Currently four elevated stations, each of identical design, are in operation. All of them except Ulitsa Starokachalovskaya have a lift for wheelchair users only. The line interchanges with Line 9 at Ulitsa Starokachalovskaya and Line 6 at Bittsevsky Park. ==Rolling stock== The line shares the Varshavskoe depot (№ 8) with the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line. Specially built class 81-740/741 (Rusich) trains serve this line. These were designed for outdoor operation. A total of 12 three-car trains are currently assigned. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Butovskaya Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
