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: As of 2016, there were 824 wagons in operation, with another 5 spares. Most of the wagons are from the Soviet era, largely from the 81-717/714 series and some trains from the 'D' and 'E' series. The stock, however, is refreshed. The "Slavutych" trains began to replace the old trains of predominantly 81/7021-7022, 81-540.2К/81-714.5М and 81-7080 series. Of course the metro's first line was served by carriages of type D since the very opening. In 1969, all these carriages were given to Saint Petersburg metro. In exchange, the line received carriages of series E then later carriages of series Em-501, Ema-502 and Ezh, Ezh1. In 2014, most carriages of types E and Ezh were modernized and converted into type similar to type 81-7021/7022, it's known as type 81-7080/7081 or E-KM, with new engines, interior and exterior. 
  All of the trains contain an audio system, which announces the stations and transfer opportunities to other Metro lines. At "Arsenalna" station, there is an announcement for museums in the area. In addition, most of the older trains are fitted with an overhead video information system, which provides visual information to passengers regarding the current and the next stations and transfer opportunities between lines. While the train is in transit between stations, the system displays advertising (both in video and ticker forms), recreational video content, and local time.
  Kyiv Metro also has some special service trains, namely:
  2 trains checking the electrical system of the Kyiv Metro, which were conventional type 'D' and 'E' trains before conversion
  Type 'D' car measuring tracks' length
  Laboratory car on the basis of 'EZh' train
  An E-type freight car
  A track repair vehicle
  In December 2016, the Kiev City Council announced that it is going to buy 709 new trains by 2025 for ₴14.96 billion (then 572.6 mln USD), 276 of which will substitute the older trains whose operation terms have expired, and another 62 for Syretsko-Pecherska line to keep the interval.
