Kyiv metro tests new platform zoning at Syrets station for use as shelter
New platform zoning at Syrets station of the Kyiv metro, the terminus of the Syretsko-Pecherska ("green," M3) line, is being tested for use as a shelter during air raid alerts, the Kyiv Metropolitan municipal enterprise said on its Telegram channel on Thursday.
In a pilot project, Kyiv Metro is testing a new platform zoning system at Syrets station, the final stop on the Syretsko-Pecherska (green, M3) line. The goal is to use the station as a shelter during air raid warnings. Navigation stickers have been affixed to the platform, designating areas for various groups of passengers: families with children, those with mobility challenges, passengers with animals, and individuals who require a seat.
This guidance is not mandatory, but rather a recommendation to promote responsible sharing of public space. Metro officials emphasize that the zoning does not involve repositioning passengers between zones. The success of this approach hinges on the public's adherence to the guidelines and consideration for others. Similar zoning measures are being planned for other stations, and the metro will share updates on the pilot's outcomes and potential expansion.
