The Catania Metro ({{lang-it|Metropolitana di Catania}}) is a rapid transit system serving the city of Catania, Sicily, in southern Italy. It is the southernmost metro system in Europe.

The Catania Metro has been in operation since June 27, 1999.

History and construction

The section of the line between the stations of Borgo and Porto originally belonged to the Ferrovia Circumetnea narrow-gauge regional railway which opened to traffic in 1895.

For the operation of the metro, this portion of the rail line was converted to standard gauge and mostly moved underground into a double-track {{convert|2.0|km|mi}}[2] cut-and-cover tunnel, except for the part of the route adjacent to the coast which runs on the surface for {{convert|1.8|km|mi}} and which is single-tracked.[2] Thus, the narrow-gauge Circumetnea railway's original terminus at Catania Porto had to be moved to Borgo due to the development of the Catania Metro.

The Metropolitana and the Circumetnea railways are operated by the same company, which has its offices at Catania Borgo.

Current service

During the first years of operation, this metro suffered from poor ridership, as its former route (from 1999 to 2016) merely skirted the city centre and therefore did not reach many popular destinations. However, ridership increased significantly in 2017.[3] The metro does not operate on Sundays or public holidays.[4] Trains run every 10 minutes until 3:00 p.m. and then every 15 minutes until the end of the service, at 9:24 p.m.[5] On Saturdays, service runs until midnight.[4]

Tickets

All tickets (except MetroBus tickets) may be purchased at ticket machines at every station.

  • Giovanni XXIII
  • Stesicoro

Future service and planned extensions

An extension to the system was approved on March 30, 2006. It involves a branch from the existing line at Galatea westward through the city centre, which is planned eventually to reach Catania's Fontanarossa airport to the south.[6] This solution was favored over proposals for an airport link by means of a new station on the Catania-Siracusa line, which runs past the airport and is part of the national rail network. Recent underground stations at Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII and Corso Sicilia, near Piazza Stesicoro, among others, serve the city center since December 20, 2016 while the new track Borgo-Nesima (four new stations) opened in March, 2017.

Another extension, westward from the current terminal at Nesima, is also under construction as far as Misterbianco, toward the north-western border of the city. It is planned to open in 2019.
