“Baku Metro is a rare event in the history of Azerbaijani people”

08 Nov 2019

Not an easy job. Each case has its own responsibility and difficulty. But who knows, metropolitanists know exactly what a metropolitan profession is, a word that unites dozens of areas and more than 140 professions.

Although it does not go beyond the borders of a single city, it is a historical fact that the so-called "metropolitan" celebrations mark their professional day.           Underground palaces, road construction heroes, and subway maintenance workers who work hard to build it have the right to celebrate their professional holiday.
     It is a very interesting and historic event: "Metropolitan Baku is a unique event in the centuries-old history of the Azerbaijani people," said the great leader Heydar Aliyev. The successor has been appointed by President Ilham Aliyev, and since 2006 it is a proud, proud and accountable day for metropolitan subordinates.
     More than 600,000 people a day, to a lesser extent, serve more than 700-800,000 passengers a day during the school year, noting that responsibility and exemplary service. That is why I am proud and proud that today is the holiday of every capital resident.
    2019 - We are also in the reporting year of what we regard as the beginning of a special period in the history of the underground. As it is known, on February 27, 2014, by the order of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mr. Ilham Aliyev, the Baku Metro was established through the merger of the Baku Metro and the Azartunmetmetrotics. Thus, the two forces that give life to our underground palaces - builders and explorers - are united in one organization and are now sharing this joy. But this year we have another event: this year, the organization, which was joined by builders and exploiters, completed its first major reporting period - 5 years in February - so we have another reason to report.
     Talking about the past 5 years, we can tell a lot about our success. During this period, every area of ​​the metropolitan area was covered with a special footprint. The scale of the historic decision made by Mr President by creating a joint stock company has justified itself. We have had many successes in 5 years. But I don't take your time by listing them. I just remembered the events of the past year, just the results. This year, six new trains consisting of 30 new wagons were received. The number of new wagons has increased to 11. Passengers of the renovated subway are beginning to feel it. One of the most important innovations is the implementation of a special project on the metro after the accident at the Mingachevir thermal power plant last year - the establishment of diesel-generating plants as soon as possible. This may be another event that increases the confidence of passengers in the subway.
     Of course, let's also talk about our renovated palaces. This year, our two stations were completely overhauled and modernized. Both Bakmil and Shah Ismail Khatai serve passengers in a completely different landscape. But most importantly, all these infrastructure-upgraded stations have been the hard work of metro-builders to build new stations.
     Of course, we cannot forget the issue that is of special importance to our colleagues. The training center, which was launched 5 years ago in Metro history and regulates staff training, has recently received a status of pride and dignity. Thereafter, we will have every reason to build the personnel training reliably.
     The upgrading of substations, artificial and natural ventilation systems, the construction of the depot, and the introduction of systems for signaling the future, bringing the concept of telecommunications to the Green and Red lines is no less than our other innovations.
     Over the past five years, the Closed Joint Stock Company has changed not only this organization but also its trade union organization to meet the requirements of the new era. But by preserving and enriching historical traditions.
     Let's look at the work done by the Metropolitan Solidarity, the Metropolitan Union, and the trade union movement, which played an indispensable role in the formation of the metropolitan selflessness. We leave behind some remarkable years for our organization, which is always with the employee and whose care is the basic principle of his business. We are proud of our unity, solidarity and cooperation
