	Helsinki Metro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The metro stops at every station, and the names of the stations are announced in both Finnish and Swedish (with the exceptions of Central Railway Station, which is announced also in English, and Kaisaniemi, which is pronounced identically in Finnish and Swedish).
		The trains on the Helsinki Metro are technologically similar to commuter trains on the VR lähiliikenne network, which serves the northern and western suburbs of Helsinki.
		The electricity used by the metro trains is a 750 volt direct current, and it is drawn from an electricity track on the side of the metro tracks.

	Helsinki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metro is an especially important method of transportation for commuters in the growing suburbs of Eastern Helsinki, and there are also plans to further expand the system to Espoo (see Länsimetro), but lack of agreement over financing has caused delays to the project.
		Helsinki is, however, perhaps even more famous for its numerous Art Nouveau (Jugend in Finnish) buildings, designed in the early 1900s and strongly influenced by the Kalevala, which is a very popular theme in the national romantic art of that era.
		Helsinki's two main museums are the Ateneum and the Kiasma, the latter displaying contemporary art, while the former being well-known for its classical art exhibitions.

		Budapest is a perfect example where the two more modern metro lines connect with buses and trams and also with two circular streetcar/tram routes (one closer to and one further from the city center) that allow travel between suburbs and also into the centre of the city by changing onto the metro.
		It is now part of the Budapest Metro and remains largely in its original state, with the original cars modernised and the stations restored in keeping with their original design, and with the route the same except for a very short extension north to Mexikói út to connect with the city's tram network.
		The Moscow metro was built during the reign of Stalin, and is one of the most elaborately decorated undergrounds of the world, with its stations often being called underground palaces.

		Most of Helsinki’s roads are laid out in a grid-work pattern, with highways bridging across the waters of the Gulf of Finland to connect the hundreds of islands Helsinki is, in part, comprised of, with the mainland.
		Roads are spidering upward and sideward from the old center of Helsinki at the port in a finger-like pattern; from the air (or a map) these roads are reminiscent of a plasma ball (those glass balls you touch and the beams of light/electricity follow yours fingers).
		Helsinki also has an international airport, the Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport, which allows an ease of air traffic between Helsinki and other major cities of the world.
