Kazan Metro Lines and Stations
The Kazan Metro, at present, is only a single-line service stretching for nearly fifteen kilometers with as many as ten stations along the way. As mentioned already, this is the newest and most modern of all Metro services in the country. Among some of its most noteworthy features were semi-automated train services and smart-card ticket facilities that were just coming into action across some of the Metro stations in the city of Moscow. As is the prevalent theme along all the Metro routes in the country, each station on the Kazan Metro features its very own architectural framework. While at present two stations are single-vault designs, a couple more feature pillar-spans. Moreover, one station stands on a flyover that features a combined glazed architecture.
