Tunnelbananät

Tunnelbananät, often translated as "Subway Network" or "Metro System", refers to the extensive underground railway system serving Stockholm, Sweden. It is operated by Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), the public transport authority for Stockholm County. The network comprises three main lines, commonly known by their color designations: the Red line (Röda linjen), the Blue line (Blå linjen), and the Green line (Gröna linjen). These lines further branch out, creating a total of seven distinct routes.

The Stockholm Metro is renowned for its unique art installations that adorn many of its stations, earning it the nickname "the world's longest art gallery". This artistic integration began in the 1950s and has since become a defining characteristic of the system. The network's construction began in the early 20th century, with the first section opening in 1950. Over the decades, it has undergone numerous expansions and modernizations to accommodate the growing population and demands of the metropolitan area.

Tunnelbananät plays a crucial role in the daily lives of Stockholmers, facilitating efficient travel across the city and its surrounding suburbs. It connects residential areas with business districts, cultural attractions, and other transportation hubs. The system is a vital component of Stockholm's public transportation infrastructure, contributing to the city's sustainability goals by providing an environmentally friendly alternative to private car usage.
