The Kyiv Metro [a] is the rapid transit system serving Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and its surrounding metropolitan area. The system is operated by the company Kyivskyi Metropoliten, a state-owned enterprise belonging to the Kyiv City Council, and serves Kyiv's ten urban districts, with bus and train connections to nearby locations in Kyiv Oblast and beyond. The system covers a total route length of 69,648 kilometres (43,277 mi), with three service lines and 52 stations. In 2021, Kyiv Metro had an annual ridership of 319.3 million people.
The first rapid transit system in Ukraine, the Kyiv Metro initially opened on 6 November 1960 as a single 5.24 km (3.26 mi) line with five stations. This original line was gradually expanded to become the current Sviatoshynsko–Brovarska line while two additional lines, Obolonsko–Teremkivska and Syretsko–Pecherska, were added in 1971 and 1989, respectively. A fourth line, Podilsko–Vyhurivska, is also planned.
Not shown here are stations that are planned to be built in the far future, as well as scrapped ideas. This includes the westward and the scrapped eastward extensions of the Sviatoshynsko–Brovarska line; two southern extensions of the Obolonsko–Teremkivska line; the further westward (second and third phases of metro to Vynohradar) and the possible eastward extensions of the Syretsko–Pecherska line, as well the scrapped project of Hertsena station located between Dorohozhychi and Lukianivska; the westward (towards the train station, Solomianka , Chokolivka , and Kyiv International Airport) and eastward (towards Voskresenka and Vyhurivshchyna–Troieshchyna) extensions of the Podilsko–Vyhurivska line; and the proposed Livoberezhna and Vyshhorodsko–Darnytska lines.
