Here's a 81-71M Class Metro train, originally built in the Soviet Union and based on Moscow Metro trains, the 81-71 Class have now been fully rebuilt with new seats and interiors, as well as modern electronics, making them 81-71M's. The 81-71 Class were not the first Prague Metro trains, though, as the first trains had been Ecs Class Metro trains similar to those now used in Budapest. The A (green) and B (yellow) lines now use them exclusively, while the C Line uses the new Seimens M1's.

The Luziny Metro Station, on Line B, was constructed in 1994 as part of the Nove Butovice-Zlicin expansion. Line B actually opened in 1985 on a more limited route from Florenc-Smichovske Nadrazi, and didn't reach its current extent (Zlicin-Cerny Most) until 1998. Kolbenova station is even newer, dating to 2001. In any case, Luziny is on of the most distinctive on the Metro system both because it's above ground and because it has these palm trees encased in glass.
