The Granada Metro (Metro de Granada in Spanish) is a single light rail line in the city of Granada, Andalusia, Spain and its metropolitan area. It crosses Granada and covers the towns of Albolote, Maracena and Armilla, [4] with underground sections in central Granada and overground sections elsewhere. [5] The line opened on 21 September 2017, [6] and serves 26 stations, of which 3 stations in central Granada are underground. [6] In 2023, the system had a total ridership of 14,180,797, with over 44,000 daily passengers on weekdays and 27,000 on weekends. [7]
Construction of the line began in 2007. [8] The first line was initially planned to open in early 2012, and by May 2011 the line was 73% completed. [8] However, funding ran out as a result of the Spanish economic crisis, [5] with only 250 million of the estimated 502 million euros total cost available. In 2012, the remaining funds were secured through a 260 million loan from the European Investment Bank. [4] and the planned date of completion was moved to early 2014. [4] However, further delays resulted in a shortfall in funding, which was only resolved on 1 July 2014. The system finally opened at noon on 21 September 2017. [9] [6]
Owing to the higher than expected ridership and success of the system, extensions are proposed on the existing line; westward from Armilla splitting into two branches to Cúllar Vega and another to Alhendín, and northwest from Albolote to Pinos Puente and/or Atarfe and Santa Fe. [10] New lines from Granada city centre to Peligros, Ogíjares and Federico García Lorca Granada Airport are also proposed. [11]
