The subway cars working in the Moscow Metro will soon be equipped with facial recognition systems, reports the BBC Russian Service.
According to a tender announced on July 9, the Moscow Mayor’s Office is spending 1.4 billion rubles (more than $19.7 million) on the purchase of the necessary surveillance cameras and specialized software. The first stage of the project, set to be completed by the end of the year, will see 1,500 subway cars (about a quarter of the cars in the metro system) equipped with facial recognition.
