context_page_description: The Kyiv Metro is a rapid transit system that is the mainstay of Kyiv's public transport. It was the first rapid transit system in Ukraine and the third system in the Soviet Union, after Moscow and St. Petersburg. It has three lines with a total length of 67.56 kilometers and 52 stations. The system carries 1.331 million passengers daily, accounting for 46.7% of Kyiv's public transport load. In 2016, the metro carried 484.56 million passengers. The deepest station in the world, Arsenalna, is found on the system.
context_section_description: The metro follows a standard Soviet triangle (three line and six radii) layout that intersects in the centre where the stations are built very deep underground and could potentially double as bomb shelters.
caption: Universytet station's vestibule is recognised as an outstanding architectural monument of Kyiv.
