Subway in Lisbon, Portugal (correction in British English - UK)
Lisbon's subway was inaugurated 57 years ago.
Today while I was reading the online newspaper, I discovered that the Lisbon's subway is turning 57 [years old].
Operations started in 29th of December, of 1959. The article says that now it has 56 stations on four lines, with a total of 44.2 kilometres, but at the time of its inauguration, the Lisbon's subway was very different. The company says on its official website that in the first year of operation, 15.3 million passengers were transported. The Lisbon's subway was the 14th to be inaugurated in Europe and the 25th in the world.
The Lisbon's subway operates [or better: 'works'], every day from 06:30 A.M. (the first train departs [or: 'leaves'] the terminal stations at 06:30 A.M.) to 01:00 A.M. (the last train departs [or: 'leaves'] from the terminal stations at 01:00 A.M.).
There are some exceptions in the secondary atriums of some stations, which have shorter periods of operation.
(+)The architecture and decoration of a subway station are a key elements for the well-being of passengers, and work in a way as an appeal to travel by subway. Lisbon's subway is one of the metro systems in the world where art is best represented. Unfortunately I do not have photos, but I would like to take photos [or: 'take some'] of every station [in the future]; it will be a very hard job.
Unfortunately I could not find the tickets' price at the time. Now it can cost €1.45 and you can go anywhere, on any line, during one hour. I'm not sure about the subway, but on a bus, one trip/journey/ride lasts one hour for any bus, so we can change the bus and during that one hour it just counts as one trip/journey/ride. In the subway, I don't know if, after you leave the station to go to the street, if you can enter [or: 'get back'] again or if it will be considered as another trip/journey/ride.
