Construction began in 1931. It was part of Stalin's five year plan. Work was completed on the first 7.2 miles in 1935 and the first 13 stations were opened in May. By 1939 there were 22 stations serving over one million passengers. Today there is 165 stations and 155 miles of track. The trains travel up to speeds of 56 mph and it carries 8-9 million people per day. I was there last summer and it is awesome.
