Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb.10 / Trend , E. Ismayilov /

Additional exits at deep-laid Baku Metro stations will improve passenger security, Baku Metro head Tagi Ahmedov said.

"Not only at the Elmlar Akademiyasi station, but at almost all deep-laid stations we need an additional exit. This is necessary from a security standpoint," Ahmedov said.

Additional exits will be built at the Icheri Sheher, Sahil, Nizami and Khatai stations.

He said the construction of an additional exit began at the Elmlar Akademisyasi station in 2010, but is not included in the state investment program.

According to Ahmadov, the Avtovagzal metro station is also being built. The metro's third and new line will include Avtovagzal and Memar Acami-2.

The Baku metro has functioned since 1967 and has 22 stations.
