The Oleksiivska line (Ukrainian: Олексіївська лінія, Russian: Алексеевская линия) is the third and newest line of the Kharkiv Metro that was opened in 1995. The Oleksiivska line is the second longest in the system at 9.9 kilometres (6.2 mi)[2] and contains a total of nine stations, with Peremoha being the last one opened on 19 August 2016.[3]

The line cuts the city of Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine, on a northeast–southwest axis. The Oleksiivska line is third behind the Saltivska line with a daily ridership of 141,150 passengers.[1] Work to expand the Oleksiivska line past its southern terminus, at Metrobudivnykiv, started in late 2015 and is expected to be completed in the early 2020s.[4][needs update]
