One interesting feature of the Kiev metro system is that the
interchange stations have different names for each line.

This seems to be common in Eastern European systems.

Bucuresti[*] has an interesting variation on this: the stations are
"whatever I" and "whatever II", in the order the stations were
built, *not* the order of line number.

[*] Often called Bucharest for some reason.

Probably for the same reason that Roma is called Rome, Moskva is
called Moscow, and Paris is pronounced wrongly. Etc., etc., etc.



Err, do we all have to refer to the 東京 Subway from now on?!
