He is only a month, but it was built 23 years old. He has only seven stations and a small length - eight and a half kilometers long and runs more like attraction, but it is already clear that Moscow metro learn from Almaty subway. Correspondent NedoSMI became the first and so far the only one who got the permission to take photographs metro southern capital of Kazakhstan.





2. Almaty subway opened on 1 December 2011. Its construction began in the Soviet Union in 1988 with funding from the national budget. Until 1992, Moscow has provided financial and technical assistance, but after the collapse of the Union froze construction and resumed only in 2005.

 - Sorry, but the subway shoot prohibited.
 - And what for it to be?
Representative of the government finds it difficult to answer, stating only that the punishment will be administrative rather than criminal. Showing his permission. He calls up a long time, checking my papers.



6. Terms of Almaty subway made based on similar operating in cities of the CIS. The legislation of Kazakhstan does not provide penalties for taking pictures in the subway, but it will soon be necessary modifications. I am glad that now you can go to the animals and to carry bicycles. However, the escalator will have to take the dog in his arms, so that the option of a trip to the Doberman is no longer relevant.



7. fare used contactless smart cards reusable (duration - 90 days since the last refill) and one-time tokens, valid until the end of the current day. But they are not simple, they also programmable chip. For what it's done, I can not understand is likely to protect against counterfeiting.

16. Local newspapers even wrote about the newlyweds, enliven the wedding walk descent into the subway and celebrate the New Year in the subway.



17. In the diagram, the line left two free places for plants under construction. The latter will be called "Moscow". Muscovites from Brateevo such exchange names angered, they do not want to live on the "Alma-Ata".



18 Trains run 15 minutes at each station all the people out, walks and goes on with the next train.

In addition, employees of underground loud whistle, indicating that you can not overstep the line of passengers and driving away from the edge of the platform.
