The time that will have to be spent on travel from one terminal station to another is no more than 15 minutes. The Dnepropetrovsk metro transports about 22 thousand passengers per day, which nevertheless amounts to more than eight million people a year..
The first stage of the Dnepropetrovsk metro was launched at the end of 1995. This helped to significantly reduce the load on other types of public transport in a large metropolitan area. The Central-Zavodskaya line connected the stations Kommunarovskaya and Vokzalnaya. From the first day, the Dnepropetrovsk metro was served by trains, which consisted of five carriages. Today, passengers are transported mainly by three-car trains. In total, 45 of them work on the line, including 18 head.
Currently, construction work is underway in the city to extend the metro line. New tracks are being laid and stations are being built following Vokzalnaya. So far, three of them are planned: the Historical Museum as the final, Theatrical and Central.
Further prospects for the development of the Dnipropetrovsk metro turned out to be a big question after the city was refused to host the European Football Championship. There is information that the authorities have decided to merge the metro with the suburban railway. So it is planned to create an interchange hub between the stations Muzeinaya and Prospektnaya and to start up rail transport from the Vstrechnaya station to Igrenia along the railway line..
