"After 11 years of construction, the first part of the Kiev Metro opened in 1960. In typical soviet fashion, the Metro was designed to be a showcase of artistry, fashion and ingenuity for the capital city of one of its largest republics. Each of the now forty-plus stations has an entirely different theme or design. Baroque, gothic, neoclassical, art deco, jugendstil, arabesque, ultramodern -- you name a style and there is a fine example of it at one of the Metro stations along the three lines there. Ranging from the starkly simple to simply opulent, these stations and their 3 subway lines service a bustling city of some three million people. For the sum of a measly 9 cents you can ride all day if you wish."
and believe me, i abused that right!!!

*looks at score* oh no, this is "bad"...i know, subway systems are a stupid idea
disrupture, that's pretty cool, and it's interesting how they are using the european name "metro" instead of "subway"

And while theyre making the subways look nice, people are still struggling to make ends meet in their newly capitalist world.

#7, Everything done in our metro was done in the 60's, 70's and 80's.. Not that it's a good thing

#7, hey, most people there can't afford cars, so might as well give them a decent and reliable form of public transportation

#13, the nyc and kiev subways are both functional, but the kiev one is cleaner, therefore, kiev subway = better
