The Moscow Metro System Is Just Incredible
Dylan LoveIf you want to provide public transportation to a booming city of 12 million people, you better have quite a metro for them.

But just as noteworthy as its function is its fashion. The stations are simply beautiful, put together with careful design and planning to make them comfortable and attractive.
