There are 150 metro, or subway systems, in the world and the Moscow Metro is almost without doubt the grandest. Beautiful, ornate and grand, decked out with stunning examples of socialist realist art, the Moscow Metro is the world’s largest subway system in terms of passenger rides, carrying eight to nine million passengers on an average weekday. It also boasts 265 km of track, eleven lines and 165 stations, an average distance between stations of 1800 m (resulting in commercial speeds of 42 km/h) and is almost entirely built underground.
