This is train we had a few days ago, which is painted from outside with some flowers. It seems that there is another interesting fact about it – they have picture gallery so the passengers could get a feeling of a museum visit during their ride from home to office.

That’s pretty cool! That doesn’t look like the Moscow Metro though. Which city is it? My guess is Nizhny Novgorod.
It does look like the Moscow Metro.
It IS the moscow metro
One of the photos says “Kurskaya station” – that pretty much nails it down.
YEY! i love statistics…not

Overall, slightly better dressed and groomed passengers than what I have seen in my part of the world.
Wonderful! This says a lot about Russian values and culture.
That is the difference between the capitalists and socialists ( who cares about the cost) it is just brilliant preserves national calture,
Why am I stressing you would not understand as there is not any calture in your country
Yes, it is a wonderful and an original idea, if not a bit impractical for Moscow metro. May be they use this train off-peak hours and on certain roots (i.e. less prone to vandalism) As to the “calture”, Alex, one of the attributes of culture is being tolerant and I don’t think you are here. Often you can prove your point ( and you do have one, I agree) if you approach the discussion in a less confrontational manner
This is really unusual!
The one who came up with this idea is brilliant.
How does it cope with the rush hour? Or is there none at all?
i’ve never seen this train. but i think thats a wonderful idea but NOT for Moscow metro really)
Actually this looks very good
Didn’t think that moscow subway is that clean
although your name tells you might be russian,but I really doubt it!
in russia no one would do something like vandalizm to such a beautiful public property!
