Initially, the station was an outdated platform, there was a lack of any comfortable facilities for passengers. Reconstructions in its place have actually built a new modern station with a level of comfort and service that meets the standards of Moscow transport. There is a modern passenger terminal with two ticket offices and one for passengers with disabilities, SOS racks, benches and ticket vending machines are installed here. There are also electronic information boards, turnstiles and restrooms at the station.

Both platforms are equipped with full-length canopies, which protect passengers from precipitation. Moreover, the station has infrared heaters and thermal curtains for comfort and cosiness even in the harsh Russian winter.
