I've ridden it many times. I've taken it all over town alone whenever I've gone to Warsaw (six times; my husband is a native) and I don't even speak Polish.
I think all the stations on the M1 line have an arch shaped entrance covers and the stations on the M2 line have M shaped entrance covers so it's easy to know which station belongs to which line.
5:07 the maximum speed restriction on Speed Limitation Systems (SOP-2 - M1, SOP-3 - M2) is up to 85km/h but the speed limit on both lines is up to 80km/h. But as far as I know the trains doesn't go faster than 60km/h during passenger operation.
It is because it was designed at around the same time that Bombardier’s R142 subway cars were being designed in New York. As a result they use the same traction motors as them.
I am native from Poland and I live on Warsaw - I love it's metro system. It is clean and well maintained. I am also interested in rail transport, so I can tell you some more secrets, e.g. that some Warsaw metro stations can become a bomb shelter (on M1 line). You can also visit my channel (unfortunatelly only a few films have english subtitles :(... ) Very nice film :)
@@Simon-Andersen It is very common in stations that have been built by communists. The "shelter-stations" are the oldest ones on the line, from Kabaty to Wierzbno station. But, unfortunatelly, even if the stations can provide safety to people (actually they never did), they're not the most beautiful :(. But, what is interesting: During the summers of 2016 and 2018 those heavy shelter doors were used on stations Stokłosy and Ursynów to prevent stations from being flooded by water during heavy rains. In that case trains pass the station without stopping on it (and btw sorry for any mistakes in text, I'm not the best at English)
Poland is amazing!

In my honest opinion, the metro is one of THE GREATEST THINGS about Warsaw!
I agree, i dont speak any polish myself but getting around was super easy!
@@Simon-Andersen Just because my mom's mother was born in Warsaw (just like my husband) doesn't mean I can speak Polish!

amazing
Glad you think so! :-)
High quality filming. Warsaw metro looks very clean 😀 What is your opinion about the city of Warsaw?
I like Warsaw, there's a great mix of modern architecture and old history and it's easy to get around

Thanks for clarifying :)
I think type may be shown for people on wheelchairs, as Type 81 doesn't have level boarding
That makes sense. Most systems would probably just have shown a wheelchair icon but this is way cooler
I think that the Alstom Metropolis 98B is legendary.

@@SigmaRho2922 And what's the traction motor they use?
@@XTREAMER5423Alstom ONIX
@@thexavier456 Cool
We don't have these Russian old-style trains anymore, we donated them to Ukraine some time ago

Thanks! Intresting thing about the bomb shelters, also found on some other metro systems build around the same time :-)

At least what could have saved lives in the war is now saving lives by preventing flooding :-). Good to see Warsaw making use of what they have :D
