{{main|Moscow Central Circle}}[[File:ES2G_interior_head_car.jpg|thumb|Seats in "Lastochka" trains]]A new circle metro line in Moscow was relatively quickly made in the 2010s. The Moscow Central Circle line (Line 14) was opened for use in September 2016 by re-purposing and upgrading the [[Little Ring of the Moscow Railway|Maloe ZheleznoDorozhnoe Kol'tso]]. A proposal to convert that freight line into a [[Urban rail transit|metropolitan railway]] with frequent passenger service was announced in 2012. The original tracks had been built in pre-revolutionary Moscow decades before the creation of Moscow Metro; the tracks remained in place in one piece as a non-electrified line until the 21st century. Yet the [[circle route]] was never abandoned or cut. New track (along the existing one) was laid and all-new stations were built between 2014 and 2016. MCC's stations got such amenities as [[vending machine]]s and free [[Toilet|water closets]].

Line 14 is operated by [[Russian Railways]] and uses full-sized trains (an idea, somewhat similar to [[S-Train]]). The extra resemblance to an S-Train line is, the 1908 line now connects modern northern residential districts to western and southern [[Central business district|downtown area]], with a station adjacent to [[Moscow International Business Center]].

There is a noticeable relief of congestion, decrease in usage of formerly overcrowded [[Koltsevaya line]] since the introduction of MCC. To make line 14 attractive to frequent [[Koltsevaya line]] interchanges users, upgrades over regular comfort of Moscow Metro were made. Use of small laptops/portable video playing devices and food consumption from [[tupperware]]s and [[Tub (container)|tubs]] was also improved for Line 14: the trains have small folding tables in the back of nearly every seat, while the seats are facing one direction like in planes or intercity buses - unlike side-against-side sofas typical for Metro.

Unlike [[Moscow Central Diameters|MCD lines]] (D1, D2 etc.) MCC line accepts "unified" tickets and "Troika" cards just like Moscow Metro and buses of Moscow do. Free transfers are permitted between the MCC and the Moscow Metro if the trip before the transfer is less than 90 minutes.<ref name="osi_facebook">[https://www.facebook.com/moscowcentralcircle/photos/a.203315823414583.1073741829.202965750116257/231605437252288/?type=3&theater Бесплатные пересадки Московского центрального кольца], MCC official Facebook group</ref> It's made possible by using same "''Ediny''", literally "unified" tickets instead of printing "paper tickets" used at railroads. 
* To interchange to line 14 for free, passenger must keep their freshly used ticket after entering Moscow Metro to apply it upon entering any line 14 station (and vice versa, keep their "fresh" ticket to enter underground Metro line after leaving Line 14 for an interchange).
