Examples of interesting station design:

Buenos Aires

The Subte (Subterráneos de Buenos Aires) was opened in 1913 as the world's 12th metro system and the first in South America. Its stations and trains still preserve a good deal of the charm of the 'good old time'. Stations are almost free of advertising, the newer ones instead contain a large number of murals.
