The Helsinki Metro is a metro system in Helsinki, Finland. It was opened on 2 August 1982 and remains the only metro system in Finland and the furthest north in the world. It is operated by Helsinki City Transport (HKL)[1] for Helsinki Regional Transport Authority (HSL)[2] and carries over 60 million passengers per year (62.8 million in 2017).[3]

The system contains a single forked line with 25 stations along a total length of 35 kilometres (22 mi), running from southern Espoo via central Helsinki to the East Helsinki suburbs.[4] The fourteen stations in Espoo, western and central Helsinki and Puotila and Itäkeskus stations are located in a tunnel, the rest being on surface.[4] The Länsimetro extension continues the line into western Helsinki and the neighbouring municipality of Espoo.[4]

Munkkivuori

Munkkivuori shopping center around the time of opening in late 1959 or early 1960.

A tunnel for the first metro station in Helsinki was dug in 1964 under Munkkivuori shopping center in concordance with the city's first light rail-based metro plans.[10] These would have produced of a network of over 90 kilometres (56 mi).[10][11] No metro line has ever reached this unfinished station, consisting of 0.5 km (0.31 mi) long tunnels[citation needed] dug in bedrock. There are no plans of connecting the station to the existing network.[10] The tunnel was flooded due to a water pipe breakage in January 2010, two months after a similar incident at the Rautatientori station.[12][13]

Notes

  • ^1 The three stations on the Helsinki Metro that have an English name that is different from its Finnish name are Central Railway Station (Rautatientori), University of Helsinki (Helsingin yliopisto), and Aalto University (Aalto-yliopisto).
