What time does the metro open in different cities?

About how much the subway opens, you need to know those who very early go to work, to the airport or, conversely, returns from somewhere in the morning and does not have the means to call a taxi. In addition, night travel on private cars is not always safe anywhere in the world.

The metropolitan has usually capitals and large cities in economically developed countries, to which, of course, Russia and the United States belong. In terms of the number of settlements where there is such a mode of transport, these states hold a relative parity - eight cities in each country.

In the USA, this is New York (trains run around the clock), Washington (on working days the traffic starts at 5:00, on weekends at 7:00), Atlanta (round the clock), Boston (trips start on average around 5:00) , Miami (the underground metro, operates from 5:00), as well as the metro has Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco. After reviewing the schedules of several cities, you can tell how much the subway in America is opening - usually around 5 am local time.

In Russia, the cities provided with the subway are: Novosibirsk (working from 6:00, separate entrances from 7:00), Omsk (opening is planned in 2016), Volgograd (metrotram), Samara (opens at 6: 30-7: 00), Nizhny Novgorod (working from 5:30). Also, many residents are often interested in the number of metro stations in Yekaterinburg. This network of underground transport operates from 6:00 every day.

A separate issue deserves the question of how much the Moscow metro opens. The standard start of trips falls into the interval from 5:25 to 5:45, but there are entrances that are available from 6-7 in the morning, so it's worthwhile for the capital's guests to familiarize themselves with the order of admission to the station, which is usually posted right on the front doors.

Those who were in the northern capital know how much the subway in St. Petersburg opens. This happens in 5: 30-5: 40 for the main inputs and at 6: 30-7: 00 for the additional ones. However, in this city there is such a feature as a night metro operating between Admiralteyskaya and Sportivnaya stations, which is connected with the divorce of bridges across the Neva River (this does not allow you to quickly travel from one part of the city to another on land transport at night). These stations can be reached from 1:00 am and leave from them until 3:12 after midnight.

If the USSR had not collapsed, then by the number of cities where there is a metro, we would certainly have overtaken America. For example, in Ukraine there is a subway in Kiev (works with 5: 28-5: 35), Kharkov (open from 5:30) and Dnepropetrovsk. Also, residents of Minsk, Baku, Yerevan, Tashkent, and Tbilisi can travel by this type of transport .

Thanks to a wide information network today we can learn about how much the metro is opening in other capitals of European countries. In Paris, for example, trains run from six in the morning, in London - from 4:45 (at separate stations), in Madrid - from 6:00 on average. But in the capital of the country workaholics - Tokyo - the first team goes to work at 5:00. This type of transport is so popular in the crowded metropolis that among the metro workers there are special employees ("Hosea"), who push the Japanese hurrying to work in the car.
