Default Recyclable Subway Cars (Warsaw)

The Siemens Inspiro transit concept will bring sustainable engineering to Warsaw's metro system in 2012.

Also, the linked site has a lot of pretty cool articles (on Moscow's World Cup Stadium, that awesome new Upper West Side park roof restaurant, etc. if you have some time to kill.)
