Alister and I live an 8 minute walk from the metro. We are very thankful for this, because despite the suffocating press of people during rush hour, it is the only transportation that you can get on and know for sure you will reach your destination in a set time period.
An open democracy article highlights the problem of traffic in Moscow. Kiev isn't quite so bad - but it isn't far behind either. If you read the article - not that Moscow has twice as many cars per hectare (10,000 sq meters) than new york. Another interesting tidbit - for some reason a highway would cost 100 million to build there while the same equivilant highway would cost 6 million in the US.
The main problem in Kiev and Moscow and most european cities are the same - you have old, narrow streets that are now being utilized to carry way more traffic than they were designed for and there is no space to expand.
