Interesting variety

It’s no secret that people spend a lot of time on the road in metropolitan areas. It’s a problem that urban architects are trying to mitigate somewhat. They develop solutions that help people have fun and have an aesthetic experience on their way home or to work.

An interesting example of this idea is the creative design of metro stations around the world. Their passengers can enjoy stunning works of art or even mentally solve crossword puzzles on the walls! Special payment systems are in place everywhere, allowing you, for example, to make purchases and view content directly while traveling.

Greening the transportation system

The rapidly growing population of megacities is becoming dependent on public transport. Spending hours of their lives on the road every day, people are losing touch with nature, worsening their physical and psychological health.

In this regard, designers and architects are looking for ways to incorporate natural objects into the design of transportation system components – trains, subway stations, stops and tunnels. Now every passenger can enjoy the beauty of living plants, which, among other things, enrich the air with oxygen.
