Krakov Metro (Kingdom of Inkami)

Krakov Metro is the largest underground system in Kingdom of Inkami and one of the biggest in Central Europe. It consists of five metro lines: M1 to M5. They are connected via 8 interchanges.
The city decided to begin construction of the M1 metroline in 1975 due to high air pollution in the city. First few stations were opened in 1979. Latest extention occured in 2023.
== Architecture ==
Stations of Krakov Metro are mostly very modern. Oldest ones, mostly in M1 metroline, are less interesting and plain, while the newest are considered most beautiful in the European Union.
Thanks to their uniqueness, M3 stations are often compared to historic stations in Moscow. Staroviślná M5 station is well-known tourist attraction and popular spot for urban photoshoots.
Besides modern ones, stations located near Krakov Old Town are known from their unique look, based on history of the place. For example, Noví Sviet - Universitet M2 station is inspired by Neo-Gothic main building of the Jagiellonian University located nearby.
==Lines==
Each line is identified by a colour. The colour assigned to each line for display on maps and signs is its colloquial identifier. The upcoming station is announced by a male voice in both Inkamian and English.
