It has a total length 65.18 km when all three lines are combined and it carries an average of 1.422 million passengers daily. It shares the same architecture as that of other metro systems that were built in the former Soviet Union. It was the third metro system to be built in the Soviet Union, the first being St. Petersburg and Moscow.
