    It’s good to build nice stations, but hyperstylized stations like this will look weird and dated in 30-40 years.

    As for the cost? Don’t be so sure that a station built this way necessarily cost too much more than some dull drum station design. 99% of the cost of underground metro stations is in digging out the thing.

      Not just this, other stations on line are really fancy, lots of sandstone, huge open spaces, extravagant artworks.. it's really impressive for a city that's usually pretty tacky.

      Ya I think most of the budget issues are tunneling related.
