Metrouri 98% reciclabile in Polonia

The interiors are spaciously appointed with extra-wide entrances, for accommodating better passenger flow, large electronic displays for system maps, and lighting that's placed at soothing intervals, rather than in blaring, monolithic banks. The electronics and mechanics cabinets have also been removed from the actual cabin walls -- so that the interior space is as spacious as possible. And finally, you'll also notice that the handholds are lit from above and shaped like tree branches -- a symbol, the designers say, of the subway cars green ambitions.

Those green bonafides primarily come in the form of the carriage's aluminum, "weight-optimized" chassis, which is significantly lighter than the average traincar, reducing its energy consumption. And... wait for it... the carriages are expected to be 97.5% recyclable as well.

Cum se construieste un metrou

Asta se intampla in St. Petersburg. La noi solutia aleasa de tovarasii guvernanti a fost sa faca un proiect pe 6 ani cu exproprieri si sa sape de la suprafata apoi sa acopere tunelul inapoi? De ce? Ca sa exproprieze pe cine trebuie.

Ride the subway

What apparently happened, according to witnesses, was a team of six or so people hopped on to a north-bound train from 24th Street station in San Francisco around 8:30 p.m. last night, installed three matching red swings, and then exited at 16th Street leaving their swings behind for public consumption.

Leganele au fost lasate acolo ca sa se poate bucura si ceilalti calatori de ele.
