Miska Rada is an underground station on the Kryvyi Rih Metro. It opened on 23 February 1988 as part of the first segment of the second stage.
The station sits right in the center of the city next to the city council building. When the station was opened, there were delays with the construction of two other stations, so to justify the system, a temporary shuttle service was organized with two three-car trams ferrying passengers between the city center and the reversal ring on the Mudryona station. On 2 May 1989, after the completion of the remaining two stations on the second stage, standard transit was possible and the shuttle service was discontinued.
The station also lacks an external vestibule; instead, two vestibules are located underground on both ends of the platform. One of the biggest problems that arose with the construction of a Metro-type station was that unidirectional trams, common in the Soviet Union, only have doors on the right side, meaning that the direction had to alternate prior to arriving at the station with an island platform. As a result, the tracks cross before reaching the station and continue on the same side until Prospekt Metalurhiv where they cross back to the standard right-hand arrangement
The station is a typical single vault. The two stations are also most extravagant, which is another trademark of ex-Soviet Metro systems. Whereas other stations make use of the architecture of the surface structure and arrange the interior to be aesthetic, this station is exactly the opposite. Red marble is used for the walls and floor; the ceiling of the vault consists of a hexagonal honeycomb arrangement. Three mosaics with a Soviet theme are present on both walls. Lighting comes from a series of light bulbs installed in the center of each hexagon on the apexal rows of the vault. However, for financial reasons, it is rare that they are all turned on at once.
In 2024, the Budynok Rad station was renamed to Miska Rada, as a result of decommunization.

Prospect Metalurhiv is a station on the Kryvyi Rih Metro. Opened on 2 May 1989 as part of the second segment of the second stage.
The construction is the same standard as the Kharkiv Metro single vault layout, with a provision for the platform to be raised. Decoratively, a large monolithic concrete vault with a series of niches with suspended luminescent chandeliers. Red brickwork and gray marble is used on walls whilst red and gray granite cover the floor.
The system reaches its deepest point, 22 meters between the two stations, Prospect Metalurhiv and Budynok Rad.
The station is situated on the intersection between the Metalurgists Avenue and Unity Street near the Metalurh Stadium, home ground to FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih. The station has two underground vestibules, interconnected with subways.
Their size gradually and proportionally decreases from the center to the edges. Moses' Ten Commandments are inscribed on two central plates, arranged like an open book.
