St Petersburg subway

_________________ |
Saint Petersburg
subway is an underground rapid transit system in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Formerly known as Leningrad Metro, the system exhibits many typical Soviet
designs and features exquisite decorations and artwork making it one of the
most attractive and elegant undergrounds in the world. Due to the city's
unique geology, the St Petersburg Metro is the deepest metro system in the
world. Serving nearly three million passengers daily, it is also the 16th
busiest subway system in the world. Some of the
features of the St Petersburg subway make it stand out amongst others, even
those in the ex-USSR. It is customary to have all stations in the centre of
a city to be built very deep, not only to minimize disruption, but also,
because of the Cold War threat, they were built to double as bomb shelters
(and many old stations do feature provisions such as blast doors and air
filters). However, in most cities, as the lines reach the outer residential
massifs, the lines become shallow (and in some cases even surface). However,
in Saint Petersburg this is not the case. The difficult geology means that
of the 60 stations 53 are deep level. The design and architecture went
through numerous phases. The original stations were predominantly pylon type
of which there are 13 stations. Also popular was the column layout, and
there are 14 such stations in the system.
