Nizhny Novgorod Metro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nizhny Novgorod Metro (Russian: Нижегородский метрополитен) is the third metro system built in Russia, located in Nizhny Novgorod (after Moscow and Saint Petersburg Metros). Planning for the system began in the 1970's with the groundbreaking on December 17, 1977, on Leninskaya Station.

The system has 13 stations and extends 17 km through the city. Each day, the metro carries about 150,000 passengers. While the system actually consists of two lines, they operate as a single line pending completion of more stations. Trains switch between the two lines at Moskovskaya Station, near the city's railway station.
