for the entire population. Passenger public transport includes transport by means of
high capacity means of transport.

The subway is the place where most people gather. Hence, it has pros and cons:
Advantages: - silence

- precision

school, university

Comparison between Bucharest subway and London subway


Bucharest:
Bucharest subway is the underground system of the capital of Romania. It is
managed by Metrorexcompany and is one of the most used transport systems in
Romania.
The system is composed of 4 lines: M1, M2, M3, M4. It is 70 km long and has 51
stations.
The first line was inaugurated on November 16, 1979.
In 2009 the daily average of passengers transported by Metrorex was over 500.000.
A season ticket for a week costs 25 RON.

historic monument and is tourist attraction.

Superficial lines are about 5m under the ground, and the depth ones are more than
50m under the ground.

What could I change for a better functioning of the subway?


I think that the renewal of the subway and of the infrastructure and the
fluidization, especially in Unirii station, which is the most populated, would lead to
a faster functioning of the subway.
Conclusion
If my opinion and of other people would be taken into account, travelling by
subway would modernize more and the congestion/crowd on lines would diminish.
