The Seville metro system opened in 2009. It has one line with 22 stations. The line runs east-west. It measures about 18 km (18 000 m; 59 055 ft). It links central Seville with Mairena del Aljarafe, San Juan de Aznalfarache, and Dos Hermanas. You can check the Seville metro map at stations or online.
In 2024, over 22 million people rode the metro. Trains are air-conditioned and run often. All stations have elevators and ramps. At San Bernardo, you can change to suburban trains. At Prado de San Sebastián, you can change to the MetroCentro tram or many city buses. The line covers three fare zones: Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2. Fares depend on how many zone borders you cross. Smart station placement means many trips in adjacent zones cost no extra.
A private company runs the metro under the Transport Consortium of Seville. It keeps trains frequent and reliable. The metro is a good choice for daily commuters and visitors.

Future Expansion Plans
Line 3 (Under Construction)
Line 3 will run north–south. It will link Pino Montano in the north with Los Bermejales in the south. It will serve dense areas like Macarena and Avenida de la Paz. It will intersect Line 1 at Prado de San Sebastián. Construction started in early 2022 and ground works began in 2023. By April 2024, workers laid the first tracks for a maintenance spur in Pino Montano. The work is split into north and south segments. The north segment (Pino Montano to Prado) should finish by 2030. It will serve about 120 000 residents and carry 13 million passengers per year. The south segment (Prado to Los Bermejales and possibly Bellavista) is still in planning. No start date yet. Funding comes from regional, national, and EU sources. Once done, Line 3 will bring metro access to Macarena and northern Seville. It will improve north–south travel.
Line 2 (In Project/Planning)
Line 2 is in planning. It will run east–west from Torreblanca/Sevilla Este near the FIBES centre to Torre Triana/Camas. It will pass Santa Justa station and the city centre. Early plans did not include the airport. In 2024 the government said the study will consider an airport extension. They will also study extending west past Camas. In 2024 the Junta de Andalucía started a 20-month update study. They expect a final plan by mid-2026. Then comes environmental review, public consultation, and tender. No construction has started. The region set aside about €1.3 million (~$1.5 million) for studies through 2027. If all goes well, work could start in the late 2020s and finish in the early 2030s. Line 2 will run underground. It will serve Sevilla Este, link Santa Justa to the metro, and cut road traffic.
Line 4 (Planned Circular Line)
Line 4 is a future ring line. It will circle the city centre and link all other lines. Some parts may run on the surface in Cartuja. Most will be underground. It will connect Santa Justa, Prado, Macarena, and Los Remedios. Planning is minimal and no route is final. The focus is on Lines 3 and 2. Line 4 may start in the 2030s.
Other Transit Projects
Other projects include trams and BRT. A tram in Alcalá de Guadaíra will link to Line 1 at Pablo de Olavide or Guadaíra. A tram in Dos Hermanas may extend from Olivar de Quintos. The MetroCentro tram now runs to San Bernardo. BRT electric buses may cover part of Line 2’s route. A commuter rail spur to the airport is under study.
Impact
When these lines open, Seville will have four metro lines. Line 3 may open first, late this decade. Line 2 could follow in the early 2030s. Each line will add about 18 stations. The network will serve new districts, suburbs, the airport, and Santa Justa station. Line 4 will close the loop. Transfers will be easier and crowding will fall. The city invests to cut car use and meet environmental goals. For visitors in 2025 these lines are not yet ready. But by 2030 you may ride from the airport or Santa Justa directly downtown.
