The Underground System
Note: This is the next in a new series of articles.Some of them will deal with personal experiences. In this new series to the Tribune, Dr. Howard commits to tell the events exactly as they happened, no exaggeratiion or fabrication.
One of the most pleasant experiences one has when they visit Moscow is the ability to go from one place to another easily and economically. This is due to the extensive rail underground system that reaches to all parts of the city. If you have ever been in New York City or London for example you’ve already experienced the underground system. Although the systems are efficient and will take you anywhere you want to go, the one in Russia is best of all I think. When you are trying to catch a car, if you miss it there’s no need to worry because another will be along within 45 seconds. They are clean and people are polite or a bit withdrawn as you usually find them in big cities. I was astounded once when riding the subway when a 16-year-old beautiful blonde girl and offered me her seat. Russians also have respect for old age.
