Subway systems, built on unscalable design principles from 200 years ago, are struggling with heat issues, leading to increasingly unbearable conditions for passengers.
In cities like Barcelona, underground metro stations are engineered with deep designs and long escalators, causing severe heat accumulation and discomfort, particularly during hot summers.
The use of excessively deep designs in metro systems, reflecting outdated engineering decisions, presents a significant challenge today as cities face rising temperatures and growing populations.
The contrast between cities like Kyiv and Barcelona highlights how escalator design can impact passenger experience; long rides create a discomforting environment that feels increasingly oppressive.
