Milan has a pretty extensive network. I didn’t know much about the city’s railways in the past but now I see it has quite a history. The S lines are also a great S-Bahn/RER style network that seem to cover every inch of the greater metropolitan area. Very impressive network and great video!
Especially a impressive Network compared to other Italian cities.
The S network is operated by a terrible company, service is a total disaster.
@@Simgiov se ti lamenti seriamente di Trenord non sei mai stato sotto Piacenza 😂😂😂
@Giulio g True. Milan metro is wayyy cleaner than Rome Metro.
The M4 is due to be completed between 2022/2025 and M6 is under study.
That’s incredible the accuracy of this video, you could do from 2022 to 2024 with the opening of m4 line.
Amazing videos
m6 line is being planned as well
Milan has the best Urban (rail and tram) system in Italy
Some curiosities about the system:
The construction of the first section of M1 took place with the use of a method that involved excavation in the trench and the total uncovering of the pit, followed by the construction of the tunnel with a rectangular section and then by the coverage with reinforced concrete beams. a Cut and cover method but with less disruption for the surface services
The M1 Line is the first in italy being powered with a conductor rail (with tension of 750 V DC) and currently is the only Heavy rail in italy with this system
the M1 line was supposed to be a rubber tyred metro but the idea was scrapped
The 1972 M2 extension from Cascina Gobba to Gorgonzola: It was originally a suburban rapid tramway built in 1968 which was to be part of the "fast lines of the river Adda" which were to replace the slow suburban tramways Milan-Vaprio and Milan-Vimercate. At the time only the gorgonzola line was built and from 1968 to 1972 this line was covered by Trams but in 1970 it was decided to convert the line from suburban tram to Metro and in the same year it became an extension of the M3 line.
For a short time between 1970 and 1972, trams and metro trains could be seen running along the same tracks before the complete withdrawal of the tram service.

The M2 line is currently the longest metro line in italy and one of the longest tin europe
Unlike Berlin and other cities, Milan S trains have actually the same loading gauge and platform height of main national and regional train, they are main line train doing urban and suburban service in Milan
M2 is the longest, not M3
As a milanese, thank you for sharing these fun curiosities I wasn't even aware of but I think you meant M2 is one of the longest in Europe, right? Im sure you can edit the comment :)
the S trains in milan have the capacity of normal national trains because on rush hour they are full of people, and even with that capacity the trains still can’t carry all that people
also M1 has a four rail electric system (like London Underground), because of electric leaks in the ground. This has been solved with better building techniques on the Lines 5 and 4 (750 V, third rail).
The Lines 2 and 3 instead work with 1.5 kV DC under catenary (similar to Rome and Naples metro lines)
if milan is the best one, then all of italy sucks
Update to december 2022
A few weeks ago a new automated line was opened, the M4; at the moment, it only runs between Linate airport and Dateo station on the Passante, but it will probably be completed by the next one-two years, passing south of the city centre to Milano San Cristoforo railway station, on the suburban S9 line.
Furthermoere, a few days ago a new infill station on the S9 line in southern Milan, Tibaldi, was inaugurated between Romolo and Porta Romana station 👍👍
Da quanto aspettavo questo video
That zoom-out of camera for 2004 really caught me offguard.
Great video. I wonder why you didn't add 'future expansions' like for the other videos. In the next 10 years, the milan metro will be one of the systems that will grow the most in europe. Last year they inaugurated the first branch of the M4 which will be completed by 2024. Several lines will see major extensions such as M1, M2, M4 & M5 and they will be done by 2030. They also just started to plan M6. There is so much more that could have been covered :)
I’ve been using your videos as a way to hunt great musics and I gotta say the choice for this one is quite interesting
Did you like the new style of music? It's always hard to find background music that fits well with the video.
@@MetroLiner I actually like it, despite its rather serious tone
@@MetroLinerthe second one from Berlin’s video is absolutely beautiful. I listen to it every single day. Thank you
Those were so massive expansions between 2004 & 2009
Yes, we had some good public transport politics at that time. All gone, sadly.
Those weren't expansions, they just converted old regional services into more organized suburban ones. But with the same trains and same stations (except for the "Passante" the crosstown line).
Amazing video! Too bad it ends before the M4 inauguration (end of 2022)... also, it would have been great to show interurban tram lines like the video about Los Angeles. Nevertheless, this video is great as it is. Thanks a lot from Milan!
As a Milanese I have to say that this is a very impressive video. Congratulations! 👏
The day after Milan won the league. (Well I guess this is true even if Inter won it)
One for Mumbai's network please! The local railway + the upcoming metro lines (include future expansion too!)
This year the M4 opens from Dateo to Linate aeroporto
In futuro potresti fare l’espansione futura della metro di Milano?
Sarebbe interessante visto che parlano di portarla a Monza/Vimercate
I didn't know the city had such a extensive suburban railway network! Great video, thanks.
I only recently stumbled upon these videos and I absolutely love them. I recently moved to Munich and can't even begin to describe how much I have come to love public transit (primarily on rail) eversince. I would love to see you do a video on the evolution of the Munich Metro/Tram/S-Bahn lines and maybe even find some proposals for future expansion (Munich has a severe lack of lateral connections)
The music suits it perfectly
The brand new Metro Line 4 was opened and operative between Linate Airport to Dateo S Line station on November 27 2022. Now the M4 (Blue Line) is operative from July 4 between Linate Airport and San Babila (M1).
Whoa! I like the background music and how the video matches so well with the music!
Which kind of software do you use to create maps like that? I'm creating a map for the bikes in a park near my neighbourhood, by the moment I use Google My Maps, but Metro Liner maps look so much better!
Thanks in advance
Very good to see the fast development of the underground metro and suburban railways in and around Milan in less than 60 years
I Love you videos, you’re so nice ! Maybe do something from Switzerland next ?
On 26th nov 2022 in Milan open the line M4 wich connects linate Airport with city centre
Great video ! Also, I went to Frankfurt last week and I discovered there is a lot of lines there, I think a video about the city would be interesting !
Very good video 😃Thumbs Up!👍 Best greetings
Finally a video about my city! So excited :))
Loved the video. However I think you should do a video with the evolution of the s lines, just like you do with metro lines.
Video about Montreal, including future would be cool :)
Very informative, seems like they have a well working network in Milan. Is a similar video about the Hamburg U and S Bahn network planned?
Could you please make a video on TURIN, I hear they are having many future expansion plans. Maybe Naples as well would be molto bene.
Not gonna lie, gets confusing when suburban lines are included :d
They’re just like S-Bahn or RER
Can you do an updated one with also the m4 line, Tibaldi station and also predictions for the future?
Video fatto molto bene !!!! Complimenti
Please do one about Budapest's Metro and HÉV (Suburban) lines and their future plans. Would love to see a video about one of the oldest metro systems in the world. 💞
You should add the new metro line 4 and future expansion of the metro and proposed new lines
We're in Prague waiting for a start of a build of new line 20 years, and they like, hah, let's build a new line and extend 20km of Metro xd... Btw great video!
Most of the very impressive extensions were just integrating existing lines in the system. Like the long green line extension in 1972 was achieved by converting to metro an existing suburban tram-train line.
nice video pls next Istanbul
Excelent video
Incredible video, i advice you to do the Rome's underground system
Can you do remakes from your older videos with all the added features? Just in between new videos so we can enjoy the iconic systems as well as the smaller ones. Would be sick and you can produce more content :)
@metroliner Can you do again Metro de Madrid with Cercanías network
nice video, I can only hope you will at some point make one about Copenhagen's Urban Rail system
Milan shares with Copenhagen the same driverless system on lines M4 and M5. Also, the city of Brescia in Eastern Lombardy, less than 200K inhabitants, sports a metro line with the same system.
@@claudioferrara4455 nice to know, at least something from Italy works very, sorry about that but Italy doesn't have the greatest reputation in the danish railroad community due to IC4 and IC2 scandal.
Also, only the Copenhagen metro has the driverless system, as the S-system is still using the Litra SE
You should update it with M4!
As a F1 and Calcio fan; I would very much like an expansion to both San Siro and Monza.
San Siro is already served by M5.
While Monza will be served by a planned extension of M5. Not to the race circuit though.
I prefer these videos than those with future expansion you uploaded few days ago. Please make Athens. Quite small and easy
You could add the tram network
I’m from Porta Genova! My parents bought the house where I currently live with my daughter and wife when the end of the green line was Sant’Agostino. Where are you from?
You should update it, as metro line 4 was opened!
Con che app l'hai fatta?
I really wish Milan focused more on providing metro service to its urban core verses the suburbs during the Metro's initial development. To have M2 travel out to the suburbs so far, so early in the metro's development, when so much of such a dense city was unserved by metro, and the suburbs was already served by a plethora of suburban rail, is a pretty odd decision. Of course I wouldn't deny that there's most likely some great tram lines connecting to rail stations throughout the city, and I also wouldn't deny that there are important destinations along M2, but how much more important are they than the density and importance of central Milan?
The eastern branch of the M2 was an interurban light rail that existed since 1878. They just converted parts of it to metro service (well, the 1950s plan was to convert it all, together with another tramway to the notheast, into a suburban railway into Milan; that never happened and the part that were already converted to heavy rail were integrated, 20 years later, in the new metro line). The line through the city center, instead, had to be dug from scratch.
The gap between M3 and M5 gives me U5 Vienna vibes
M4 is almost complete. They will open a first branch of 6 stations in autumn and the remaining part (15 stations) in 2023.
@@riccardomastrapasqua4811 Great job👌🏻
So M5 and M4 will never cross? they need circle line!
Some of the early plans did include a circle line so it's a possibility!
There is a loop line in milan,the 90/91 trolleybus
also yes the circle line project is currently being built with new stations along the route
No, they will not
Few days ago it was announced that M6 will complete the circle line of the city
No circle line is planned for now. Originally a second tunnel for the S service going north-south was planned, but has been cancelled.
The M6 has a linear path from south-east to east-maybe north who knows at this moment. So the S9 line does a semi circle path, joining many of the metros.
Do barcelona metro pls
You should do Philadelphia's at some point
I ❤❤❤❤❤ 0:48
Pleaseeee do Hamburg next
Please make more videos about european citys
Potresti fare la rete ferroviaria di Napoli tra metro , passante e treni suburbani e bella grande 🙏
Do Naples
Come si chiama la musica di sottofondo?
Hamburg Next pleaseeee❤️
Felicitaciones a los trabajadores trabajan las nuevas lineas cada estaciones en el Metro de Milan, Italia podrian avanzar mas como el pasado, presente y futuro 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤
Looking forward to the new M4 opening within the next 10years
October 2024 will be open the entire line
I don’t know anything about Milan metro but i wonder if m4 is a future line still in building? Or why isn’t there a line 4 but a line 5?
The M4 is almost complete.
it is under construction but a section of it is complete
@@gabri_maybe Ah thanks!
M4 and M5 were planned basically at the same time, around 2007, and were both part of the 2015 Expo dossier. M4 runs east-west, from the Linate Airport, connecting with M1 at San Babila, then passing south of the city center, connection with M2 at Sant'Ambrogio, then west almost parallel to the Bisceglie branch of M1.
There were financing issues for 4 (basically they tried to finance the whole line in one go and failed), so its construction was delayed. It's being built right now. Technically the first stretch, from the Linate Airport to Dateo, has been ready since late 2021. The opening had been postponed because with Covid the airport saw a drastic reduction in passengers, and without the airport that short stub of line is not going to attract lots of passengers. It may open later this year, though. We'll see. Personally I think at this point they should wait until it's complete until at least San babila.
M4 will open in September from Linate to Dateo
We have the line 4 so we do have that
Do Ottawa LRT / Gatineau rapid transit and other proposed/under counstruction routes!!
Just wait to april
I was in Milan last summer, they don’t have air conditioning on the metro
This is not completely true. Only M3 old trains do not have it. M1, M2, new trains on M3, and M5 have air conditioning on board. Maybe you took the wrong train on the M3.
What we do have it on 99% of the trains, either you catched one with broken AC or one of the really old ones that have not been replaced yet
Meanwhile Ireland plans a metro for 50 years, constantly changing the plans and in the end has built nothing.
There’s the M4 as well
Not open yet
@@rubenmerletti7160 But it's already displayed on the official maps and you can already see the entrances in multiple stations.
Please do Istanbul next, by the way, fantastic video
Can you make Hong kong?
Forgot Ospedale San Raffaele
Maybe Milan could do with more metro lines and more suburban lines to the south. But very interesting.
A new line will open between 2022 and 2024, and another line has been proposed. Both lines mainly extend in the south of the city. But Milan has an amazing tram network.
@@rubenmerletti7160 Interesting. 👍
South of milan lies the southern agricultural park, it's not really that populated while north east and west of milan are really packed
Probably the best way is to look on an map, google or apple and look at satellite view and see how many villages and cities are to the north while only few to the south, also you can see how south is more greener while the northern part is red like the roof of the houses
Do Chicago.

M4 and S12 is Missing from the Milan Metro
M4 hasn’t been opened yet
M4 will open at the end of September
S12, like S14, S15 and S16 are planned but they will never enter service, because politically support for public transport is totally dyed. Instead, they are reducing services on existing lines. The S13 is actually a renomination of the old S10, in order to avoid confusion with the S-Bahn system in Canton Ticino, Switzerland, which also travels for some sanctions along the one of Milano. The S-Bahn lines in Canton Ticino are indeed numbered from S10 to S90 (S10, S20, S30...)
@@KaplaWorld No... I mean Milano
Ok 👍
bangkok please 🥺🥺
need to update 2023 new line M4 linate airport to San babila
Is there a reason they skipped Line 4 and went from 3 to 5?
Line 4 has already opened but not at all, until the end of 2024 it will completely open, in the meanwhile line 5 has worked for 11 years, but it was designed after line 4, even if it was built before

2018: Trenord starts arbitrarly reducing services on all lines because of COVID (They already knowed what will be happened in 2020)
The two stops on the S9 closed because of lack of public order. Instead to solve the problem, they closed the two stations for everyone
I guess that you have a problem with Barcelona...
