Yungorodok (Samara Metro)

Yungorodok is a station on the Samara Metro. It opened on 26 December 1987 and was intended to be a temporary station until the completion of Krylya Sovetov. When the government changed the plan for the Metro, Krylya Sovetov was abandoned and Yungorodok became a permanent station.[1] It is the southern terminus of the line and the only aboveground station on the system. The name refers to the housing development Yungorodok, a section of Samara which means “young city” in Russian.
