Metro Arts and Architecture

Examples of good station design:

	Minsk Like other metro systems in the former Soviet Union, the stations have been built using exquisite materials and a few are decorated with socialist-style reliefs. Photo [Alexei Bobko, urbanrail.fotopic.net]: Traktorny Zavod station.
	Several of the stations in Minsk seem to have a certain 'light-weight' feel that makes one forget that they are underground. Photo [Alexei Bobko, urbanrail.fotopic.net]: Molodezhnaya station.

Departure Procedure and Sounds

"Astsiarozhna, dzvery zachinyayutsa – nastupnaja stantsiya". The text is identical to those in Moscow, Kiev, Kharkov etc. but is in Belorussian (voices.metro.ru).
