🆕 Rublyovo-Arkhangelskaya metro line

📰 Moscow opened the first stretch of its new Rublyovo-Arkhangelskaya metro line on Sept 5, with President Putin and Mayor Sobyanin at the ceremony.

🚇 The 8.7 km launch section has 5 stations: Delovoy Tsentr, Shelepikha, Zvenigorodskaya, Narodnoye Opolcheniye, and Bulvar Generala Karbysheva. It's expected to improve transit for 550,000+ residents in nearby districts.

🚇 Fun fact: Moscow's metro (opened 1935) was designed deep enough to double as bomb shelters — a legacy still visible in how deep newer lines like this one are built.
