Popis: The Saint Petersburg Metro was opened on 15 November 1955. It is the second largest subway in Russia after the Moscow Metro. The St. Petersburg Metro has stagnated since the early 2000s. This causes many problems for the transport network, such as high congestion of surface transport, especially in new areas of the city where there is no underground line. Also, the misallocation of underground traffic, the small number of regular and interchange stations per multi-million city. And what stops the development of the St. Petersburg metro is insufficient state funding, inefficient budget spending and poor construction quality. Development plans are shifted in terms of timing and in the end remain only on paper. The solution to these problems will allow Saint Petersburg to distribute the load on the surface and underground transport network, improving the quality of life of residents of St. Petersburg. Also, metro is a cultural heritage, and exclusive technologies were used to build it back in the USSR, and the central stations have their own design code.
