Samara Metro, Rapid transit system in Samara, Russia
Samara Metro is a rapid transit system with ten stations covering roughly 12.7 kilometers in the city. The line runs underground and links several neighborhoods, helping residents move through the urban area.
Planning started in 1980 after the city crossed one million inhabitants. Operations began in December 1987, bringing a new form of mobility to the Volga region.
Station names recall the industrial past and everyday life along the Volga River. Wall tiles and decoration display motifs from the Soviet era that remain visible today.
Trains run from early morning until midnight, with waiting times that vary during the day. Signs and line maps help you find your way, though accessible entrances are limited at some stations.
The Kirovskoye depot sits at the eastern end of the line and maintains the entire rolling stock. Travelers sometimes see trains maneuvering there before entering regular service.
