More Subways and their Stations
One afternoon I woke up too late for the 1pm dance class, so I decided to make the rest of the afternoon productive by visiting some more subte lines and their stations.

The Subte has extended 4 more stations to the Northwest side with the latest design and facilities. Their wall murals are equally impressive. These murals are 7 feet wide, excess of 10 feet wide, depicting the grandeur of the law court or monastery in the old days.

The
style of design also varied. Most of them are no longer
solid shades of colors with a uniform black boundary (as
in the dancing couples at the bottom of this page),
rather, they are more 3 dimensional, in the form of
sketches and drawings. There is also modern artwork, from the colorful symbolistic pieces to black/white cartoons. But the Porteñas never forgot their favourite tango artists, such as Gardel, here being depicted as a poster among other posters at the cartoon mural. |
But none of the conveniences of the new subway lines or their stations can compete with the old charm of the subte compartment of the oldest line, the red line.
