Overview of the World's Deepest Metro Stations and Their Unique Features
The world's deepest metro stations, such as Hongyancun Station in Chongqing, China, lie over 100 metres underground, requiring long escalator rides of up to eight minutes and high-speed lifts that can cause ear pressure. These depths result from factors like mountainous terrain, urban density, and Cold War-era design for nuclear shelters, as seen in stations like Moscow's Park Pobedy and Pyongyang Metro. Passengers are advised to allow extra time for these extended descents, which have become notable features of these transit systems.
