Cooler metro? You gotta be kidding. Those chaps can't run an orderly metro what with their inconsistent anouncements and all. In St Pete it's very consistent - one male voice anounces all stops in a moderately gay accent, in Moscow it's a random mix of explicitely gay male and female voices with horrible маааааськовьський accents.
What's cool about Moscow is that being from St Pete meself I can speak in ways the muskies can't understand наемся пышек (пончики и пышки это РАЗНЫЕ вещи, у нас в Питере есть и то и другое), пройдусь вдоль паребрика и заверну в парадную.... ГЫ.

In Soviet times Moscow was cool what with their ВДНХ and all - nowadays ВДНХ is no more, it's just another рынок. Shame. I still remember that robot that would greet you at the door. Ah well, ломать не строить...
