The Naples Metro (Italian: Metropolitana di Napoli) is a rapid transit system serving the city of Naples, Campania, Italy and some parts of the adjacent comuni of its metropolitan area through Line 11. The system comprises three underground rapid transit lines (Line 1, Line 6 and Line 11).
It is the third largest underground network in Italy, behind Milan and Rome.
The Metro comprises three lines – 1 (yellow), 6 (blue) and 11 (rainbow or orange) – which operate on 34.5 km (21.4 mi) of route, serving 30 stations.[Note 1] It has a daily ridership of approximately 115,000 passengers, and an annual traffic of approximately 45 million passengers.
In addition to the Metro, the central area of Naples and its surrounding urban region are served by eight railways forming the Naples metropolitan railway service. These include six Circumvesuviana lines, spanning 142.7 kilometres (88.7 mi) and comprising 96 stations; Line 2, extending 18.9 kilometres (11.7 mi) with 12 stations; the Cumana railway, covering 19.81 kilometres (12.31 mi) with 14 stations; and the Circumflegrea railway, which stretches for 27.04 kilometres (16.80 mi) and includes 16 stations. Together, these railway networks provide extensive connectivity across Naples and the wider Campania region.
