Metropolitana di Torino

About

The Turin Metro is a modern, driverless VAL (Véhicule Automatique Léger) rapid‑transit system that serves the city of Turin and its suburbs. Since its inaugural service in February 2006, the single line has stretched 15.1 km from Fermi in Collegno to Piazza Bengasi, linking key commercial, cultural and sporting venues. Designed for speed, safety and reliability, the network operates every 2 minutes during peak periods and accommodates over 160 000 daily riders, reflecting its importance as a backbone of the region’s public transport. The Metro’s history dates back to the 1930s, but it was only in the 1990s that the project was resurrected and brought to fruition through the adoption of the VAL technology. The system’s opening timeline culminated with the extension to Lingotto in 2011 and further expansion to Bengasi in 2021. Today, the line is fully integrated with local buses, trams and the Turin tramway network, offering seamless transfers and a unified ticketing system. Passengers appreciate the Metro’s low fares—currently €1.70 for a single journey—and its 100‑minute validity, making it both affordable and convenient for short trips. The network’s driverless operation, coupled with electric third‑rail power, ensures high punctuality and safety. For tourists and locals alike, the Metro provides an efficient, environmentally friendly way to navigate Turin’s historic centre, the Lingotto district, and surrounding suburbs, offering a glimpse into the city’s modern infrastructure while connecting to its rich cultural heritage.
