Moscow, Russia
The daily commute in many global capitals is a utilitarian affair, defined by concrete, steel, and functional minimalism. In Moscow, however, the underground transport system tells a radically different story. Descending beneath the city streets reveals a subterranean world of vaulted ceilings, grand chandeliers, and marble-clad corridors that resemble royal palaces more than transit junctions.
