Comment

Dnipro (Ukrainian: Дніпро), until May 2016 Dnipropetrovsk (Ukrainian: Дніпропетро́вськ [ˌdʲnʲiprɔpɛˈtrɔu̯sʲk]) or Dnepropetrovsk (Russian: Днепропетро́вск [dʲnʲɪprəpʲɪˈtrofsk]), is Ukraine's fourth largest city, with about one million inhabitants.

The Dnipro Metro (Ukrainian: Дніпровський метрополітен; Russian: Днепровский метрополитен) is a single-line metro system that serves the city of Dnipro, the fourth largest city in Ukraine by population. The metro was the third system constructed in Ukraine, after the Kyiv and Kharkiv metro systems, respectively, when it opened on December 29, 1995. The metro was the fourteenth built in the former Soviet Union region, and the first to open after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

The Dnipro Metro consists of one 7.1-kilometer (4.4 mi) line and 6 stations.[1] The line starts at the Vokzalna station, near the city's central railway station in the east and ends at the Pokrovska station in the western part of the city. The system is open from 05:30 to 23:00.[3] Ridership on the metro has steadily declined since its opening in 1995;[5] in 2013, the metro carried only 7.51 million passengers[1] (compared to 18.2 million in 1995[5]). Initially, the metro trains carried five train cars each, but as the passenger ridership declined, the number of cars was reduced to three.

The tokens used today still display the old name of the city.
