Moscow is one of the largest railroad junctions in the world with about 2.5 million people arriving daily at the Nine municipal terminals. The city railroad terminals are mainly located nearby the Sadovoye Koltso (Garden Ring). The famous Moscow metro connects the stations as well as many other points in the city. Both long-distance trains and local trains, "elektrichki", operate from all the nine Moscow's terminals. The "elektrichki" may take you to the towns of the Moscow Region. During the summer seasons the local trains are often overcrowded, especially when the Muscovites go to their country houses ("dachas") or to the nearest forests to gather mushrooms and berries.
