Underground stations today are more than transit systems designed to transport city dwellers and visitors across town in the fastest, safest way possible and relieve road traffic. They also contribute to the status and identity of the city and its inhabitants. Design has begun to play an increasingly important role when planning stations. A lighting designer must go beyond standard requirements and create a custom solution for that particular station that will facilitate wayfinding but also please users aesthetically. Light can help to create this kind of attraction and a sense of uniqueness for the environment. A valuable and indirectly sustainable side effect is the increased interest in using public transportation. The number of good design projects for stations is growing, although there are not so many sources of reference for this sector of the lighting design industry.
