Metro Arts and Architecture

Examples of good station design:

	Tehran The clean metro system in the capital of Iran has many stations with an interesting architecture or design. Photo [tehranmetro.com]: Platform level of Mirdamad station from 2002.
	Works of art have been integrated in many stations [tehranmetro.com], [iranchamber.com]. Photo [cyberpersia]: Concourse level of Imam Khomeini transfer station, opened in 2000.

A few beeps before the doors close. Next-station anouncements in the train are in Farsi language by a recorded female voice.
