The Stockholm metro ((スウェーデン語:Stockholms tunnelbana), literally: ''Stockholm's Tunnel Rail'') is a metro system in Stockholm, Sweden. The first line opened in 1950, and today the system has 100 stations in use,〔 of which 47 are underground and 53 above ground. There are seven lines—17, 18 and 19 (Green), 13 and 14 (Red) and 10 and 11 (Blue)—going through the Stockholm City Centre. In 2013, the metro carried 328 million passengers, which corresponds to approximately 898,630 riders per day. The long metro system is owned by the Stockholm County Council through the company Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL). The operation is contracted to MTR Corporation. The Stockholm metro system has been called 'the world's longest art gallery',〔(Art Discussion website 'Twisted Sifter' )〕 with more than 90 of the network's 100 stations decorated with sculptures, mosaics, paintings, installations, engravings and reliefs by over 150 different artists. ==History== The decision to build a metro was made in 1941. The following years, and in some cases earlier, some routes were built with near metro standard but operated with trams. These included Kristineberg-Islandstorget, Slussen–Blåsut (including the oldest tunnel Slussen–Skanstull from 1933) and Telefonplan–Hägerstensåsen. The first part of the metro was opened in 1 October 1950, from Slussen to Hökarängen, converted from tram to metro operation. In 1951 a second line from Slussen to Stureby was opened (also tram operated until then). In 1952, a second system from Hötorget to the western suburbs was opened. In 1957, the two parts were connected via the Central station (at T-Centralen) and the Old Town (at Gamla stan metro station), forming the Green Line. During the period 1950-1960 the Green Line was extended piece by piece. The Red Line was opened in 1964, from T-Centralen over Liljeholmen ending in Fruängen and Örnsberg, both in the Southwest.〔See "Technical Description of the Stockholm Underground Railway 1964," published by Stockholm's Public Works Department and the Stockholm Passenger Transport Co. At that time, the lines were known as Line 1 and Line 2.〕 It was extended piece by piece until 1978. The third and final system, the Blue Line, was opened in 1975, with two lines running northwest from the city center. As the construction requirements have become more strict over the years, newer segments have more tunnels than older, and the Blue Line has almost only tunnels. The latest addition to the whole network, Skarpnäck station, was opened in 1994. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stockholm metro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
