Metro de Málaga, Light rail network in Málaga, Spain
Metro de Málaga is a light rail system with two lines connecting the city center to northwestern and southwestern suburbs. The network spans 19 stations and handles daily passenger traffic across its full route.
The system began construction in 2006 to address the city's traffic congestion with backing from European funding sources. Lines were opened gradually over the following years to expand coverage.
The stations feature local artworks that reflect the city's heritage and character. People use the stops as meeting points when moving between neighborhoods, making them part of the everyday rhythm of urban life.
Trains run from early morning until late evening, making the system convenient for commuters and visitors. Tickets are available at vending machines or you can use rechargeable cards, and platforms are easily accessible throughout the day.
The vehicles feature automatic doors and travel both underground and at street level, allowing the network to work around existing city structures. This mixed approach made it possible to serve more areas without major disruptions.
