The Turin Metro ((イタリア語:Metropolitana di Torino)) is the VAL metro system serving Turin. It is operated by Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (GTT), a public company controlled by the municipality of Turin. The system comprises one line with 21 stations connecting Fermi station in Collegno with the Lingotto multifunctional centre in Turin. ==History== The history of metro in Turin begins in 1930s, when the first project of an underground railway was put forward. However, only a part of the first underground tunnel was built, and the actual project was put aside. Nowadays, the tunnel is part of an underground parking system. A new company committed to the development of a metro system in Turin was founded in 1960s. Several projects and feasibility studies were made for a 7 km underground line under the city centre and then for a line connecting FIAT factories to surrounding neighborhoods, but eventually all the proposals were rejected. In the mid-1980s a new proposal for a system of 5 fast tram lines at-grade was approved. However, only the planned line 3 was built following the original project, while the others eventually were built either as regular tram lines, with no dedicated lane, or as bus lines. A new project was approved in 1995 for a line running from ''Campo Volo'' on the west border of the city to ''Porta Nuova'', the main railway station in Turin. The project was put in hold due to lack of funds. The project for the underground line was resumed in April 1999 with a longer route to Lingotto based on the VAL system. Works on the line began on 19 December 2000, part of the works for the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics. The first section from ''Fermi'' to ''XVIII Dicembre'' was opened on 4 February 2006, while the second section on the south to ''Porta Nuova'' opened on 5 October 2007. ''Porta Susa'' station opened later on 9 September 2011. The last part of the line on the south to ''Lingotto'' was inaugurated on 6 March 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metropolitana Torino fino al Lingotto, inaugurazione 6 marzo con tratte gratuite e feste di via )〕 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「Turin Metro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
