The Kyiv Metro Can the subway stop during a blackout?
“The subway is one of the most complex engineering systems. In particular, the company’s power supply scheme is designed in such a way that it provides for the backup of power supply to consumers, including rolling stock, in the event of a blackout at some substations,” the transport company’s press service explained to journalists.
