System map Legend Parus Depot "Diivka" Komunarivska Prospekt Svobody Zavodska Metalurhiv Metrobudivnykiv Vokzalna Teatralna Tsentralna Istorychny Muzei Dnipro This route map: view · Ukrainian: Дніпропетровський метрополітен; Russian: Днепропетровский метрополитен) is a single-line metro system that serves the city of Dnipropetrovsk, the third largest city in Ukraine by population.[3] The metro was the third system constructed in Ukraine, after the Kiev and Kharkiv metro systems, respectfully, when it opened on December 29, 1995. Current expansion plans will increase the number of stations to nine by 2014 at the latest.[4] The Dnipropetrovsk Metro is currently the shortest metro system in the world,[4] consisting of one 7.8 kilometres (4.8 mi) line and 6 stations. The line starts at the Vokzalna station, near the city's central railway station in the east and ends at the Komunarivska station in the western part of the city. The system is open from 5:30 in the morning till 23:00 at night,[5] serving a daily passenger traffic of about 37,500 passengers.[1] Initially, the metro trains carried 5 train cars each, but as the passenger ridership declined, the number of cars was reduced to three.[6] History In 1979, the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union affirmed the Central Committee of the Communist Party's action to allow the Gosplan (government planning agency) and the communication and transportation construction ministries to conduct research on construction a metropolitan system in Dnipropetrovsk.[7] Vokzalna station, one of two terminus stations of the system. Central hall of the Zavodska station. The construction itself was started on March 15, 1982 following a decree by the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union.[8] These plans were realized when the system's first line, the Tsentralno-Zavodska Line, was opened to the public on December 29, 1995. The Dnipropetrovsk Metro system was constructed following the typical Soviet metro construction format. Out of the six stations, five are located deep underground and one is placed near the surface. Four of the deep stations are single vaults built on Leningrad technology and one is a Pylon. The only shallow station is a pillar trispan. Owing to the economic recession of the early 1990s, the metro stations lack the same level of decoration and architectural integrity of those built in Soviet times. Future plans Three stations are currently under construction, which would expand the system from the Dnipropetrovsk Central Railway Station (at Vokzalna) to the city center; Teatralna (near the Theatre of Opera and Ballet), Tsentralna, and Muzeina (near the Museum of History).[5] Construction on these two stations was restarted in late February 2011 after being completely halted on July 26, 2009.[4] Two new stations in the city centre, "Tsentralna" and "Tsentralna", are on track and expected to be finished by late 2015.[5] Another station, "Parus", is planned for the western terminus of the Tsentralno-Zavodska Line.[5] A lack of funding for the construction, in part, specifically to the fact that Dnipropetrovsk was not chosen as one of the host cities of the UEFA Euro 2012 football championship. After the first additions to the line segment, the total length of system's only line is expected to be 11.82 km (7.34 mi), with 9 stations.[5] In the long term perspective, a second line is planned to span across the Dnipro River, and to potentially have 80 km (50 mi) of track on three lines minimum.[5] See also List of rapid transit systems References ^ a b "The Dnipropetrovsk Metropoliten is asking for a raise in the ticket price" (in Russian).
