Kiev Metro

The Kiev Metro (Ukrainian: Київський метрополітен or Київське метро) is a metro system that is the mainstay of Kiev's public transport. It was the first rapid transit system in Ukraine and the third one built in the USSR (after Moscow and St Petersburg Metros). It now has three lines with a total length of 66.1 kilometres (41.1 miles) and 51 stations. The system carries 1.422 million passengers daily, accounting for 38% of the Kiev's public transport load. In 2011, the total number of trips exceeded 519 million. One of the deepest stations in the world, Arsenalna (at 105.5 metres, 346 ft), is found on the system.
