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: While the construction of the M2 underground line was at its apogee, in 1980, new rolling stock from Metrowagonmash (81-717/714) started its usage.
  In 1985, a new train repair plant was built, first called ОМ-2. Moreover, after it appeared that the corridor between "October Revolution Square" and "Khreshchatyk" was not able to cope with the stream of passengers, a second corridor was built, called informally "long" corridor, and opened on 3 December 1986. The same year, a disambiguation to the Darnytsia depot was made (3 tracks are made, of which 2 are for passenger traffic, while the third is supposed to let the trains exit the depot.
  On 30 December 1987, the second (eastern) exit from the "Hidropark" station was erected, opened only in summer.
  Finally, on 19 March 1988, a new depot (called "Obolon"), serving line M2, was created.
