The atmosphere of the city seemed suitable to the young man for creating a subway system. However, the possibility of building a classic underground metro in Gomel has never been seriously considered, reports "Gomelskiye Vedomosti."
In Soviet times, according to standards, only a city with a population of at least one million could qualify for an underground railway. The regional center falls short of this figure by roughly half.
However, according to the concept's author, local residents have not given up on the idea. Their hopes became the starting point for the experiment.
Two lines and 17 stations — this is what Gomel's underground metro could look like.
