The Hanoi Metro (Vietnamese: Đường sắt đô thị Hà Nội, lit. 'Hanoi urban railway') is a rapid transit system in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. Owned by Hanoi's People Committee and operated by Hanoi Metro Company (HMC), it is the first operational rapid transit system in Vietnam. The system includes elevated and underground sections. The first line, Line 2A, opened to service on 6 November 2021.[5] The first section of the second line Line 3 opened on August 8, 2024.[6]
The system will eventually consist of 8 lines with a total length of 318 kilometres (198 mi), and is initially expected to carry 200,000 passengers per day. Upon opening, daily ridership was at 12,000.[7]
