The Kyiv Metro (Ukrainian: Київський метрополітен, romanized: Kyivskyi metropoliten, IPA: [ˈkɪjiu̯sʲkɪj ˌmɛtropol⁽ʲ⁾iˈtɛn]) is the rapid transit system serving Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and its surrounding metropolitan area. The system is operated by the company Kyivskyi Metropoliten, a state-owned enterprise belonging to the Kyiv City Council, and serves Kyiv's ten urban districts, with bus connections to nearby locations in Kyiv Oblast. The system covers a total route length of 69,648 kilometres (43,277 mi), with three service lines and 52 stations. In 2021, Kyiv Metro had an annual ridership of 319.3 million people.
The first rapid transit system in Ukraine, the Kyiv Metro initially opened on 6 November 1960 as a single 5.24 km (3.26 mi) line with five stations. This original line was gradually expanded to become the current Sviatoshynsko–Brovarska line while two additional lines, Obolonsko–Teremkivska and Syretsko–Pecherska, were added in 1971 and 1989, respectively. A fourth line, Podilsko–Vyhurivska, is also under construction and is anticipated to be fully open by 2030.
