This '''list of metro systems''' includes electrified [[rapid transit]] train systems worldwide. In some parts of the world, metro systems are referred to as '''subways''', '''undergrounds''', '''tubes''', '''mass rapid transit''' ('''MRT'''), '''metrô''' or '''U-Bahn'''. {{As of|2025|October|06|post=,}} 205 cities in 65 countries operate '''920''' [[Rapid transit|metro]] lines.

==Considerations==
The [[International Association of Public Transport]] ({{lang|fr|L'Union Internationale des Transports Publics}}, or UITP) defines metro systems as urban passenger transport systems, "operated on their own right of way and segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic".<ref name="UITP">{{cite web |url=http://ftp.uitp.org/ftproot/euroteam/YVA/URP_Fundamental_Requirements_EN.pdf |title=Recommended basic reference for developing a minimum set of standards for voluntary use in the field of urban rail, according to mandate M/486 |publisher=UITP (L'Union internationale des transports publics/[[International Association of Public Transport]]) |year=2011 |access-date=2014-02-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222133945/http://ftp.uitp.org/ftproot/euroteam/YVA/URP_Fundamental_Requirements_EN.pdf |archive-date=22 February 2014}}</ref><ref name="Schwandl">{{cite web |url=http://www.urbanrail.net/about.htm#definition |title=What is a metro? |author=Schwandl, Robert |website=UrbanRail.net |year=2007 |access-date=2008-01-14}}</ref> The terms [[Passenger rail terminology|heavy rail]] (mainly in North America) and heavy urban rail are essentially synonymous with the term "metro".<ref name="APTA-def">{{cite web |url=https://www.apta.com/research-technical-resources/transit-statistics/public-transportation-fact-book/fact-book-glossary/#8 |title=Fact Book Glossary – Mode of Service Definitions |publisher=[[American Public Transportation Association]] |access-date=2013-11-12}}</ref><ref name="FTA">{{cite web | url = http://www.ntdprogram.gov/ntdprogram/Glossary.htm | title = National Transit Database Glossary | publisher = [[United States Department of Transportation|U.S. Department of Transportation]] [[Federal Transit Administration]] | date = 18 October 2013 | access-date = 2013-11-12 |url-status=dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131113002142/http://www.ntdprogram.gov/ntdprogram/Glossary.htm | archive-date = 13 November 2013 | df = dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://trl.co.uk/sites/default/files/TRL593%20-%20The%20Demand%20for%20Public%20Transport.pdf |title=The demand for public transport: a practical guide |year=2004 |editor-last=Balcombe |editor-first=R. |publisher=[[Transport Research Laboratory]] |page=6 |access-date=2008-03-27 |archive-date=12 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180712021901/https://trl.co.uk/sites/default/files/TRL593%20-%20The%20Demand%20for%20Public%20Transport.pdf |url-status=dead}}</ref> Heavy rail systems are also specifically defined as an "electric railway".<ref name="APTA-def"/><ref name="FTA"/>

The dividing line between the metro and other modes of [[public transport]], such as [[light rail]]<ref name="APTA-def"/><ref name="FTA"/> and [[commuter rail]],<ref name="APTA-def"/><ref name="FTA"/> is not always clear. The UITP only makes distinctions between "metros" and "light rail", whereas <ref name="UITP"/> the [[American Public Transportation Association]] (APTA) and [[Federal Transit Administration]] (FTA) distinguish all three modes.<ref name="APTA-def"/><ref name="FTA"/> A common way to distinguish metro from light rail is by their separation from other traffic. While light rail systems may share roads with car traffic or use sections of track with [[level crossing]]s across roads, metro systems tend to run on a [[grade separation|grade-separated]] exclusive [[right-of-way (transportation)|right-of-way]] with no access for other traffic.

In contrast to commuter rail or light rail, metro systems are primarily used for transport within a city, and have higher service frequencies and substantially higher passenger volume capacities. Most metro systems do not share tracks with freight trains or [[inter-city rail]] services. It is not relevant whether the system runs on steel wheels or [[rubber-tyred metro|rubber tyres]], or if the power supply is from a [[third rail]] or [[overhead line]].

The name of the system is not a criterion for inclusion or exclusion. Some cities use "metro" as a brand name for a transit line with no component of rapid transit whatsoever. Similarly, there are systems branded "light rail" that meet every criterion for being a rapid transit system. Some systems also incorporate [[light metro]] or light rail lines as part of the larger system under a common name. These are listed, but the light rail lines are not counted in the provided network data.

Certain transit networks may match the service standards of metro systems, but reach far out of the city and are sometimes known as [[S-Bahn]], suburban, regional or commuter rail. These are not included in this list. Neither are [[funicular]] systems, or [[people mover]]s, such as amusement park, ski resort and airport transport systems.

This list counts metros separately when multiple metros in one city or metropolitan area have separate owners or operating companies. This list expressly does not aim at representing the size and scope of the total rapid transit network of a certain city or metropolitan area. The data in this list should not be used to infer the size of a city's, region's, or country's [[urban rail transit]] systems, or to establish a ranking.

==Legend==
[[File:World Metro systems.svg|thumb|upright=1.35|Countries with at least one metro system: {{legend|#008100|operational}}{{legend|#ffc306|under construction}}]]
; City: Primary city served by the metro system.
; Country: [[List of sovereign states|Sovereign state]] in which the metro system is located.
; Name: The most common English name of the metro system (including a link to the article for that system).
; Year opened: [[File:Metro systems of world.png|thumb|Metro systems of world as of 2025 {{legend|red|Operational}}{{legend|#ffc306|Under Construction}}|500px]]The year the metro system was opened for commercial service at metro standards. In other words, parts of the system may be older, but as parts of a former [[light rail]] or [[commuter rail]] network, so the year that the system obtained metro standards (most notably electrification) is the one listed.
; Year of last expansion: The last time the system length or number of stations in the metro system was expanded.
; Stations: The number of stations in the metro network, with stations connected by [[Interchange station|transfer]] counted as one.
; System length:The [[Network length (transport)|system length]] of a metro network is the sum of the lengths of all routes in the rail network in kilometers or miles. Each route is counted only once, regardless of how many lines pass over it, and regardless of whether it is [[Single track (rail)|single-track]] or [[Double track|multi-track]], [[single carriageway]] or [[dual carriageway]].
; Ridership: The number of unique journeys on the metro system every year. There is a major discrepancy between the ridership figures: some metro systems count [[Transfer (public transit)|transferring]] between lines as multiple journeys, but others do not. Numbers may also be counted via different methods – [[faregate]]s/[[turnstile]]s or [[Light curtain|light barrier]]s at entrances or vehicle doors being the most common but far from the only ones.

In addition, when one considers intracity lines of [[Japan Railways Group|JR East]] and private railway companies, [[Greater Tokyo]] (130 lines) has higher daily ridership than any other metropolitan area in the world with 14.6 billion passengers annually. The [[Osaka Municipal Subway]] also has only a minority share of all metropolitan railway ridership in Greater Osaka, constituting only 17.6% of Greater Osaka's 4.745 billion rail passengers annually in 2010. Including the municipal subway systems in both Kobe and Kyoto, the result still only comprises 22% of all rail travel in the Greater Osaka area with 1065.8 million passengers yearly ([http://www.mlit.go.jp/kisha/kisha07/01/010330_3/01.pdf MLIT Yearly Statistics]). For Greater Nagoya, the [[Nagoya Municipal Subway]] has only a minority share of all metropolitan railway ridership in Greater Nagoya constituting only 38% of Greater Nagoya's 1.095 billion rail passengers annually in 2010 ([http://www.mlit.go.jp/kisha/kisha07/01/010330_3/01.pdf MLIT Yearly Statistics]).

==Under construction==

The following is a list of new worldwide metro systems that are currently actively under construction. In some cases it is not clear if the system will be considered a full metro system once it begins operational service. Only metro systems under construction are listed where there are no metro systems currently in operation in the same city.

The countries of [[Ivory Coast]] and [[Serbia]] are currently constructing their first ever metro systems.

<!-- Do Not add [[Baghdad Metro]] in Iraq, [[Vilnius Metro]] in Lithuania and [[Ulaanbaatar Metro]] in Mongolia unless you have enough Relable Sources indicate that they (or at least one of them) are really started construction workings. Current sources are mostly indicating that such construction plans are stalled every years. -->{{Static row numbers}}<!--the inclusion of Metro Tunnel has been agreed upon on the talk page – please do not remove without discussing-->
