The Karen Demirchyan Yerevan Subway (Armenian: Կարեն Դեմիրճյանի անվան Երևանի մետրոպոլիտեն, Karen Demirchyani anvan Yerevani metropoliten; since December 1999), colloquially known as the Yerevan Metro (Armenian: Երևանի մետրոպոլիտեն, Russian: Ереванский метрополитен), is a rapid transit system that serves the capital of Armenia, Yerevan. Owned by the government, it is operated by the Karen Demirchyan Yerevan Subway CJSC of the Ministry of Transport and Communication.
The system was launched in 1981 and, unlike most former Soviet rapid transit systems, its stations are not very deep, there are two stations above ground, one shallow and the rest are considered deep underground, however, the depth of those stations is not great, averaging 16–22 metres (52–72 ft); only three stations are greater than 30 metres (98 ft), Marshal Baghramyan (approximately 37.5 metres (123 ft)), Barekamutyun (approximately 42 metres (138 ft)) and Yeritasardakan (approximately 37 metres (121 ft)). Stations are intricately decorated with national motifs. The metro runs on a 13.4 kilometres (8.3 mi) line and currently serves ten active stations.Thank you very much for
