Going Underground
1. Moscow underground is the largest in terms of passenger numbers, with more than a billion passenger journeys a year. Some underground stations are very beautiful and include sculptures, mosaic pictures in the ceilings, beautiful decorations. The first line was open in the thirties of the 20th century. It ran through the city centre and had just ten stations.
2. The New York underground is the largest in terms of kilometres covered. It is often called the “Subway” and is one of the world’s cheapest, with a single journey to and from any station costing just $2. It is characterized by the fact that its lines are named by numbers and letters (like 1, 3 and A, D).
3. The Paris Metro was built at the turn of the 20th century and has 368 stations covering 15 lines and transporting around six million people daily. Some stations are designed in a very artistic way characterized by flower and leaf motifs. The architect Hector Guimard decorated this mass transit system in tune with the city.
4. London was the first city to get the underground. The London Underground (The Metropolitan Railway) was opened in 1863 and Londoners at once began speaking about it as a fashionable way to travel. The Metropolitan Railway grew and began to be called the Tube because of the narrow tunnels that characterize the older parts of the system. Today the London Underground covers most of Greater London with 11 different lines and 97 million passenger journeys every year.
5. The Tokyo subway became infamous in 1995 when Aum Shinri Kyo cultused Sarin gas on a train, killing 12 people. However, it is one of the safest underground systems and generally people characterize it as the world’s best in terms of ease of use and comfort.
