Moscow Metro Launches Kids' Safety Placards with Metrosha
When creating visual materials, designers of Moscow's transport relied on the successful experience of implementing informational stickers and posters in the metro, which inform about rules of use, culture of behavior, and methods of payment.
Consensus
- The new children's informational materials were launched at the 'Stakhanovskая' station on Moscow's Nekrasovskая line.
- The main character in the materials is Metrosha, a mascot of Moscow's transport system.
- The materials were designed with children's visual perception in mind, using bright colors and distinctive design elements like a paintbrush stroke.
- The materials include guidance on proper metro behavior, such as not riding scooters or bicycles, not touching lost items, and how to act if lost.
- The materials were placed on information boards in station vestibules, escalators, and platforms.
- Fifteen different materials were prepared and deployed in the first phase.
- The project team will collect passenger feedback to assess the project's future development.
- The materials are part of a broader initiative called 'Lost? Don't Leave!' in collaboration with the 'Search for Missing Children' fund.
- The project is ongoing and will expand in 2025 with voice features for each mascot.
