Marseille Metro (Métro de Marseille)

The Marseille Metro is a rapid transit system serving Marseille, France. The system consists of two lines, partly underground, serving 31 stations, with a total route length of 22.7 kilometers (14.1 mi). Line 1 opened in 1977, followed by Line 2 in 1984. Two stations, Saint-Charles and Castellane, provide interchange between each of the lines. The system's MPM 76 trains use rubber-tyred metro technology developed by RATP for some lines of the Paris Métro. As a reliable and efficient means of transport, the Marseille Metro is playing a vital role in increasing accessibility and fostering a dynamic urban environment in this coastal Mediterranean city.
