In such shopping centers, they offer the second floor and rent out part of the first floor to retail chains, and install turnstiles and ticket offices on the remaining part of the 1st floor. It is necessary to invest 3-10 million dollars in the construction of such a center, the amount of investments will depend on the length of the platform. Such a shopping center will pay off in 5-7 years.

Ulyanov and Frischer are particularly attracted to platforms outside of Moscow and on the Oktyabrskaya Railway. Such projects could be implemented beyond the Urals by regional entrepreneurs.

However, Russian Railways was informed that there were no official requests from Frischer and Ulyanov for the modernization of railway platforms, but Kommersant publishes, citing its own source, that this proposal was definitely discussed in an informal setting.

Today there are approximately 2.3 thousand. passenger platforms. Moscow Railway transported 568 million passengers over the past year, and about 126 million used Oktyabrskaya Railway.
