This was in the middle of a Saturday afternoon the day before the Pyongyang marathon.
It was arranged for us to take the train as a group, so we didn't get to experience how the ticketing system works.
Outside a Metro station:
Inside the station with my sister looking at the turnstiles:
Taking the longest escalator ride (4 minutes) down to the deepest underground rail system in the world:
The train platforms are quite grandly decorated.
Newspapers for the communists, I mean, commuters to read.
A video taken by my sister of a train arriving:

Leaving the station:
Another video taken by my sister riding the escalator up and out of the station:
