Why metro?
Underground is the best transport for the big city. There are some reasons:
- Speed. There are no cross-roads, traffic jams, traffic lights for metrotrains. It's the fastest transport.
- Safety. Cars, buses, trams sometimes crash. And people die on the roads...
- Ecology. Electric trains do no exhausts.
- Economy. When people move faster, safer - it's a big economy, millions of dollars for the big city.
- Views of the city. More roads, more cars - less trees, parks. It is not beatiful perspective.
