Some things beggar belief. Or, maybe we don’t have the benefit of understanding the intent. So, let’s go straight to the point on this one. Why would someone install a Metro station in the middle of nowhere? You’ll find out at the end of it and, as it happens, there is an answer, a happy ending, and a lesson about doing your research when it comes to what you see on the Internet.
We’ll cut straight to the point on this one. It’s certainly interesting and curious, but the Internet has provided us with the answers. William Harris (on YouTube) stated “The city where I used to live did something similar. A few subway stations are located in areas of low population, but the goal is to encourage new development around those stations — new high density housing and the like. It is definitely far easier to build subway lines in greenfield sites than once the area is more populated.”
A more telling account comes from Andrew Lindh, again on YouTube notes that “This must be rather old content, maybe from 2015. Around 2017 the area is under construction. By 2020 it’s mostly done and people are there. In 2021 it’s fully in use and everything around it is part of the city.”
The bottom line here (no pun intended) is to double and triple check your sources when it comes to what you see online. Don’t show up and be disappointed.
