Plans
The Metro has a very large expansion plan for the next half century. The Pravoberezhnaya Line was split in early 2009, and the new fifth line (Frunzensko-Primorskaya) took the northern (Primorsky) radius away from Pravoberezhnaya and opened with a new section (Frunzensky) to the south. The Pravoberezhnaya line will extend to the west, and then north to Kamenka. The two stations, Bukharestskaya and Mezhdunarodnaya of the Frunzensko-Primorskaya line, are due to open in the end of 2012. These will be followed by another four heading southward - Prospekt Slavy, Dunayskaya, Balkanskaya and Yuzhnaya. These should be open by 2015.
The official website of the Saint Petersburg metro claims the opening of 41 new stations, 6 new depots and 71 km of new lines by 2020.
At the same time, there are several short and mid-term projects on station upgrades, including escalator replacements and lighting upgrades.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:
“The fellow parent you are scared to call is as appalled by the clique’s plans as you are. . . . The other parent is as happy to hear from you as you would be to hear from him.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“In order to become spoiled ... a child has to be able to want things as well as need them. He has to be able to see himself as a being who is separate from everyone else.... A baby is none of these things. He feels a need and he expresses it. He is not intellectually capable of working out involved plans and ideas like “Can I make her give me...?” “If I make enough fuss he will...?” “They let me do ... yesterday and I want to do it again today so I’ll....””
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
“Make your plans for the year in the spring, and your plans for the day early in the morning.”
—Chinese proverb.
