It's pretty!
I took a picture in the DC subway last time I was there. It's a bad picture because there are cameras and employees everywhere as well as signs saying you can't take pictures. I can't find it anymore but I do have a copy in my online store:

All the walls are exactly that. I don't know if they did it for sound control or because they thought it looked interesting.

Your photos remind me of the lost subway stops they rediscovered in New York. Have you heard about those? Let me see if I can find them online...http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/10/the-hidden-abandoned-city_n_781669.html#s179141

So are Russian trains on time?

Hi, Ny lost subway very good. Very beautiful.

In Russia there is no permission about photo at stations too. Too pity, you know. It's quite beautiful and sometimes I wish to have photo of design or people from different angle. But there is too much police and cameras too.

About trains: they go every 3-4 minutes in a morning and day. At evening there is more lag (5-7 minutes).

Novoslobodskaya station and Mayakovskaya station. Very grandiose.
Ploshchad Revolyutsii and Mayakovskaya station are almost like art muesuems if one is able to ignore the rushing crowds, lol.

The 28 rubles=(0,9$), do you mean $9 a ticket or that there's a range of free($0) to $9 a ticket?

You know there is many stations which look like museum. I describe only 3 of them, but all of them which build before 1980 is have some interesting design and details. New stations unfortunately have more functionality and less design.

Some of them, by the way look great from outside.

Not good photo but qite shows the idea

It seems people aren't as creative as we once were or at least willing to spend a bit more maintaining the creative designs of buildings, doesn't it?
