Catania Metro Line Details
Catania Metro Line Information Summary Table
The Catania Metro system currently operates only one line. Below is a summary table of its detailed information:
| Line | Year Opened | Type | Length (km) | Number of Stations | Start Station | End Station | Ridership |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linea Rossa | 1999 | Metro (partially surface) | 3.8 | 6 | Borgo | Porto | Data not publicly available |
Additional Notes:
- Line and Operation
- The Catania Metro has only one line, named Linea Rossa (Red Line), officially opened on June 27, 1999.
- The line is 3.8 km long, connecting Borgo station in the north to Porto station in the south, passing through 6 stations, including key areas such as Catania Central Railway Station (Stazione FS Centrale).
- Part of the line (e.g., Borgo to Galatea) runs underground, while the rest (Galatea to Porto) operates on a surface single track. Trains run at intervals of approximately 15-30 minutes, with operating hours from 7:00 to 20:45, Monday to Saturday.
- System Features and Challenges
- The Catania Metro is one of the shortest metro systems in Europe. Due to its small scale, limited service hours, and infrequent trains, ridership is low, and specific statistics are not publicly available.
- The system is operated by Ferrovia Circumetnea (FCE). The fare is €1 (valid for 90 minutes) and can be used interchangeably with city buses.
- Although expansion plans exist (e.g., extensions to Piazza Giovanni XXIII and Stesicoro), they have been stalled long-term due to funding issues.
- Transport Connections
- Borgo station offers transfers to the Circumetnea railway, connecting towns around Mount Etna; Porto station is near the port, providing easy access to other parts of Sicily.
- Airport transfers require taking bus line 457 from Stazione FS Centrale to Catania-Fontanarossa Airport.
