Vyrlytsia is a station on the Kyiv Metro's Syretsko-Pecherska Line. It was opened on 4 March 2006 on the already functioning stretch, Kharkivska–Boryspilska. The station is by far the most unusual in the system. Its design is a shallow level curved side-platform pillar bi-span. In the original designs the station was not planned, and the long stretch Kharkivska–Boryspilska was already under construction, when in late 2003, the City urban planning committee decided to invest and develop the empty area roughly halfway between the two stations with new housing massifs. As a result, a need for a Metro station arose. In fact, the only other station in the former USSR to exhibit the same layout is Alexandrovsky Sad on the Moscow Metro whose design was too attributed to the same reasoning. As the station had to be built into the existing tunnel path, it was deemed too expensive and impractical to alter the path of the tunnels. This resulted in the track construction continuing as planned, while a station pit was built around them. As a result, Vyrlytsia opened half a year after Boryspilska. The curvature of the platform is a merit to this. The other visible sign is the central pillar span that separates the paths. Like in the rest of the stretch this was to house pipes and tubes with communication cables, again for reasons of cost-saving, these were left and ins
