Missing History
Who built it? What were the working conditions, the tools they used, and the safety issues they dealt with? Was there any loss of life during the construction? Are there any pictures of the construction in existence? How much money did workers make? Was there a funding bill passed in the Duma/Parliament? What were the living conditions for the workers and their families? Did Gulag style forced labor have a roll in the construction? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.254.163.49 (talk) 16:51, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey! What About Line #5?!
They have now put in a fifth line around 2001, but I don't know the name. If anyone finds out, please edit the article and put in the line.--Mac Simms 18:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
PS: The color of the line is purple.
- Wrong, the line will not open as a separate line until 2008, have a look on the line 4s future plans section. What is true is that currentely a section of it exists as part of line 4 and in 2008 the line will separate into two lines, with new stations being put in at the point of their separation: Here this schematic shows it perfectly:http://www.podzemka.info/unreal/21/.
- Here are two animations of history and future:

- PS its colour not color. :)

Color of fourth line
How is the fourth of these lines to be described, as the Orange Line or the Yellow Line?? The color looks yellow-orange based on how I see it. Georgia guy 22:02, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Officially the colour is orange http://www.podzemka.info/real/1/ -- Kuban kazak 22:28, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- The fourth line is often called as yellow. But I've never heard they say "orange" about it.--91.122.10.12 (talk) 09:36, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Color of fifth line
The color is pink according to the table in the article, but purple in the above discussion. Which is correct according to the actual metro map?? Georgia guy 20:51, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- Does that really matter? Considering that it has yet to open. I copied the colour from Moscow's Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line Template. That is the only other violet coloured line in the ex-USSR Metros. --Kuban kazak 21:07, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- Is it going to be at least 10 years before it opens?? And, this is a talk page, and I don't see any reason for there to be a rule about American vs. Canadian spellings on talk pages, unlike on articles, where rules are expected. Georgia guy 21:25, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- Read article on line four, and my spelling is British not Canadian. --Kuban kazak 21:28, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Color of sixth line
It says in this article that a sixth line is planned. What is its color most likely going to be?? Please write this answer here:
1=red 2=blue 3=green 4=orange 5=violet 6=?
(I think yellow is most likely. Anyone disagree??) Georgia guy 19:36, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- The line is not yet to open in anytime soon so who knows. Most likely it would be the semi-ring line which I expect should be dark blue/purple [1]. As already there is a full single station ready for it. (Sportivnaya)
- Anyway does it really matter...that at least 1.5 decades away so no need to hurry with the colours.--Kuban Cossack 15:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the external link mentioned above says Line #6 will be lime, #7 will be dark blue, and #8 yellow, according to the map I saw. Georgia guy 23:21, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well, as far as wiki is concerned that is nothing but hypothesis. Anyway it is not really that important is it? --Kuban Cossack 00:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

The deepest or "one of the deepest" ?
ru.wiki claims it is the "deepest".
- Technically yes, when Admiralteyskaya opens it will be at 105 metres, the record is currently held by Arsenalnaya on the Kiev Metro --Kuban Cossack 15:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Plus, Pyongyang Metro is supposedly even deeper then that. There is no way to independently verify it, of course.--Strannik 19:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Pyongyang Metro is the deepest metro in the world - the track is approximately 110 meters (about 394 feet) deep underground. [1]
- 218.89.187.53 07:50, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- The article states that it is "the deepest one by the average depth of all stations", but the reference is only for the deepest point. Coyets (talk) 12:17, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
How deep is "deep level"?
I think it would be useful to state somewhere in the article how deep the system is, either on average, or give a couple examples. AdinaBob 21:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- It is not a case of deep or shallow, but in the way the station is built. Deep level stations are built much like mines, by underground excavation, shallow stations are built by cut and cover method. The alternative name is sub-surface. --Kuban Cossack 22:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
58 60 stations
This is the most ludicrous reasoning I have ever heard, to count transfer stations as one station. That is not how it is done in Saint Petersburg or anywhere else. Even cross-platform transfers are counted as two stations, because there is a station for each line that uses it. --Kuban Cossack 16:38, 4 May 2007 (UTC):
- I agree, my bad, I only realized it after I changed it. Canwolf 03:59, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Comparison with Amsterdam metro
I thought that Amsterdam and spb had the same wet soil, but the spb metro is far, far deeper than the Amsterdam metro. How come? Also, the article could say that the spb metro can be very crowded during rush hours. I did not notice this to such extent in e.g. Paris metro. Andries (talk) 23:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's all relative. It's fairly crowded compared to traffic levels during regular hours. Also, growing up in St. Petersburg, it did feel pretty crowded, and I'm sure other residents will agree. --Strannik (talk) 04:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- You gotta be kidding. SPB is so crowded in rush hour that sometimes you have to wait 3 or 4 trains (coming every 2 minutes) before you can enter. I haven't seen that in Paris.--213.159.118.174 (talk) 07:33, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, there are some stations that can become exceedingly crowded during rush hour, and the current closure of "Gostiniy dvor" (which funnels passengers to "Nevskiy Prospekt", "Mayakovskaya", and "Ploshchad Vosstaniya") and "Gorkovskaya" (which sends passengers to "Sportivnaya" and "Ploshchad Lenina") for repairs is definitely overcrowding the neighboring stations. How do you survive when you're trapped in the middle of a huge mass of similarly trapped humans? You just have to learn to be patient, and, if necessary, how to push without making the guy in front of you want to kill you! --Ericdn (talk) 07:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

new station
Currently in the metro there are anounces saying that due to the extension of the metro they are hiring. Which is the station that is finally about to open? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.159.118.174 (talk) 11:00, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- On 1st December, three stations will open, and a long expected separation of line four willoccur. The new operation will be: Line four will now terminate at Spasskaya which will be a transfer to Sadovaya and Sennaya. Simultaneously the northern part of line four will become line five, two new stations will join the new line: Zvenigorodskaya and Volkovskaya. See Frunzensko-Primorskaya Line for more details. --Kuban Cossack (По-балакаем?) 10:10, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
