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:
“The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
