The London Underground and the Moscow metro
The London Underground is the oldest one in the world. In 1870 there was the opening of the first line. It was like a tube, that's why English people call the old lines the Tube, the new lines the Underground.
The London Underground is very long. It’s about 300 kilometres long and it has about 300 stations. Some of them are closed on Sundays. The other stations are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. The price of tickets isn't low (низкий). It depends (зависит) on the distance. There are comfortable seats in the carriages at the Underground. The walls are white or grey. There are a lot of ads (реклама) on them.
So the word "Underground" in London shows you where the stations are. When you want to find the metro stations in Moscow you look for the letter "M".
The Moscow metro began its work on the 15th of May, 1935. There were 13 stations at that time. Now it has more than 190 stations. A metro ticket costs 28 rubles. Our metro is one of the most beautiful, comfortable and the cleanest metros in the world. We are proud of it.
