Metrolinjen

Metrolinjen is the common name for the Copenhagen Metro, an automated rapid transit system serving Copenhagen, Denmark, and surrounding municipalities. The system was inaugurated in 2002 and has since undergone several expansions. It consists of four lines, M1, M2, M3, and M4, distinguished by color. The lines share a common central section and branch out to serve different areas of the city and its suburbs. All trains are driverless and operate frequently, providing a high level of service.

The M1 line runs from Vanløse in the west to Vestamager in the southeast, serving areas like Frederiksberg and Ørestad. The M2 line connects Vanløse to Lufthavnen (Copenhagen Airport) in the east, passing through the city center. The M3 line, also known as the Cityringen, forms a circular route through the heart of Copenhagen, connecting key districts and providing interchange with the other lines. The M4 line extends from the city center to Nordhavn and Sydhavn, serving new developments and connecting to the national railway network.

The Copenhagen Metro is known for its modern design, efficient operation, and integration with other public transport modes. Stations are typically located underground or at elevated levels, with many featuring a distinctive modern architectural style. The system plays a crucial role in the daily commute for many residents and visitors, contributing to Copenhagen's reputation as a livable and sustainable city. Its continuous development aims to further improve connectivity and accessibility across the metropolitan area.
