Sviatoshynsko–Brovarska line
The Sviatoshynsko–Brovarska line is the first line of the Kyiv Metro, dating back to 1960. It includes some of the system's more historically significant stations, such as Arsenalna, which at 105.5 meters is the deepest in the world and the next station Dnipro, which although the tunnel follows a descent, appears above ground level.

The Kyiv Metro is a rapid transit system in Kyiv owned by the Kyiv City Council and operated by the city-owned company Kyivskyi Metropoliten. It was initially opened on November 6, 1960, as a single 5.24 km (3.26 mi) line with five stations. It was the first rapid transit system in Ukraine and the third in the Soviet Union, after the Moscow and St. Petersburg metros.
