No, not a cost cutting exercise, but something for the tourists. In an interview with local newspaper ‘Moskovskiy Komsomolets’, the head of the city’s underground system said that open roof subway cars will soon be making an appearance there. Following on from a concept used in Berlin (see photo), passengers will need to don hard hats for a night time excursion around the maze of tunnels that make up what is, unquestionably, the most impressive – architecturally, at least – subway network in the world.
Fantastic, indeed, but other than the stunning designs of the thirties era station stops, what exactly would visitors see?
