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 50 million passengers per year (58 million in 2008).[3]
The system contains a single forked line with seventeen stations along a total length of 21.1 kilometres (13.1 mi), running from central Helsinki to the East Helsinki suburbs.[4] The six stations in central Helsinki and Puotila are located in a tunnel, the rest being on surface.[4] The Länsimetro extension will continue the line into western Helsinki and the neighbouring municipality of Espoo.[4]

Error code: 1
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.[13] These would have produced of a network of over 90 kilometres (56 mi).[13][14] No metro line has ever reached this unfinished station, consisting of Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). long tunnels[citation needed] dug in bedrock. There are no plans of connecting the station to the existing network.[13] The tunnel was flooded due to a water pipe breakage in January 2010, two months after a similar incident at the Rautatientori station.[15][16]
Notes
- ^1 The two stations on the Helsinki Metro that have an English name that is different from its Finnish name are Central Railway Station (Rautatientori) and University of Helsinki (Helsingin yliopisto).
