From the history of the Prague metro

And finishing stations was quite expensive. They did not save money on the stone cladding of “Malostranskaya”, and the architecture of a very high level was obtained. All three lines, or rather their stations, are made of different finishing materials. For this reason, they received popular names: A - tin, B - glass, C - stone.
