Default London - Kiev comparisons

As does New York, since most stations are named after cross streets. I
can ride the F or V train along 6th Avenue to the 14th Street station
or I can ride the L train along 14th Street to the 6th Avenue station
and reach the same point.


A similar system on the Paris metro brings together some deliciously
unlikely pairings: Barbès — Rochechouart (a 19th-century
revolutionary writer and a 17th-century aristocratic abbess, Richelieu -
Drouot (Louis XIII's secretary of state and Napoleon's aide-de-camp) and
so on.
