Metro stations from around the world that transcend you to a state of euphoria, stealing your attention away from the mundane drudgery of enduring public transport day in, day out.
Metro Stations. . . As anyone who lives in a major city can attest, transiting on public trains is a nightmare, as is the dark and depressing metro stations that one spends a majority of their time waiting. The same concrete walls and grey tiled floors, poorly placed train line information boards and a sea of equally depressed people, all contribute to the universal hatred of public transport.
Which is why the below metro stations around the world are such a refreshing change, as they have introduced a degree of art in their designs which results in a far more enjoyable user experience for passengers. In an effort to elevate the architectural design and overall aesthetic of the traditionally bland public service depots, the designers behind these stunning works of art have successfully infused their own unique style into their respective stations with the results being truly breathtaking.
