The Copenhagen Metro (Danish: Københavns Metro, pronounced [kʰøpm̩ˈhɑwˀns ˈme̝ːtsʰʁo]) is a light rapid transit system in Copenhagen, Denmark, serving the municipalities of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, and Tårnby.
The original 20.4-kilometre (12.7 mi)[3] system opened in October 2002, serving nine stations on two lines: M1 and M2. In 2003 and 2007, the Metro was extended to Vanløse and Copenhagen Airport (Lufthavnen) respectively, adding an additional six plus five stations to the network. In 2019, seventeen stations on a wholly underground circle line, the M3, was added bringing the number of stations to 37.[5] In 2024, the M4 line was extended to København Syd, with 5 additional stations in Sydhavn.
The driverless light metro supplements the larger S-train rapid transit system, and is integrated with local DSB and regional (Øresundståg) trains and municipal Movia buses. Through the city centre and west to Vanløse, M1 and M2 share a common line. To the southeast, the system serves Amager, with the 13.9-kilometre (8.6 mi)[3] M1 running through the new neighborhood of Ørestad, and the 14.2-kilometre (8.8 mi)[3] M2 serving the eastern neighborhoods and Copenhagen Airport. The M3 is a circle line connecting Copenhagen Central Station with Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, Nørrebro, Østerbro and Indre By districts. The metro has 44 stations, 30 of which are underground. Service is provided 24/7, making Copenhagen along with New York City and Chicago the only cities in the world to provide 24/7 rapid transit service throughout their city limits.
In 2023, the metro carried 120 million passengers.[1]
