Kholodnohirsko-Zavodska Line
The Kholodnohirsko–Zavodska Line (Ukrainian: Холодногірсько-Заводська лінія, Russian: Холодногорско-Заводская линия) (also known as the Red Line, Line 1) is a line of the Kharkiv Metro, serving Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine. The line is the first segment of the Kharkiv Metro system, in operation since 1975. It is longest of the system's three metro lines at 17.3 kilometres (10.7 mi) and has the most number of stations (at 13), compared to the other two lines' eight station segments.
Geographically, the Kholodnohirsko–Zavodska Line cuts Kharkiv on an east-west axis, providing subway access for the industrial districts lining the Moskovskyi Prospect with the city center. Since it is an important transport thoroughfare of both the metro and the city as a whole, the Kholodnohirsko–Zavodska Line has the highest passenger traffic of the three lines, having a daily ridership of 545,070 passengers.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“Michelangelo said to Pope Julius II, “Self negation is noble, self-culture is beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared to self-abuse.” Mr. Brown, here, in one of his latest and most graceful poems refers to it in an eloquent line which is destined to live to the end of time—”None know it but to love it, None name it but to praise.””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
