The Kiev Metro is a metro system that is the mainstay of Kiev's public transport. It was

the first rapid transit system in Ukraine and the third one built in the USSR (after Moscow and St Petersburg Metros). It now has three lines with a total length of 66 kilometres (41 miles) and 51 stations. The system carries more than a million passengers daily. One of the deepest stations in the world, Arsenalna (at 105.5 m or 346 ft), is found on the system.

Following the Bolsheviks' victory in the Russian Civil War, Kiev became only a provincial city and no large-scale proposals to improve the city were drawn.

Like all Metro systems in the former Soviet Union which are known for

their vivid and colourful decorations, Kiev's is no exception. The original stations of the first stage are elaborately decorated, showing the postwar Stalinist architecture blended with traditional Ukrainian motifs.
