What is surprising but the Chileans (apart from the beauty and unique design of each station) is that the stations are very deep: to get to train several minutes, get off the escalator stairs and sometimes two! In fact, the deepest station is 84 meters. Apart from official Moscow subway that everyone knows, there is a metro «secret»  an underground tunnel system that no one knows exactly where it begins and ends. They say that the construction of the tunnels remains secret until today. It was assumed that the underground could protect people not only of the bombing but also for the massive attack of gas.

Good Luck!
