The subway is the fastest form of urban transportation. Everyone has probably had to use it. But not everyone has thought about the fact that the subway is a whole underground world, huge, complex and very interesting. This book full of various information helps to get acquainted with it closer. It is dedicated to the Moscow Metro, opened in 1935, which is considered the most beautiful in the world. The reader will learn about where on our planet appeared the first "subway" and what they were, how the subway was designed and built in Russia, how the underground tracks are laid, what is "floating" and "tunneling shield", what objects connected the first lines of the Moscow subway, what happened at the subway stations during the Great Patriotic War. A lot of interesting things are told in the book about how clean air is supplied to the subway, what unique lights are installed at different stations, how cars, escalators, turnstiles and tickets changed over time, finally, about where trains sleep and how passenger safety is ensured. And, of course, the author talks about what discoveries can be made in this extraordinary museum underground.
