Genoa Metro
The Genoa Metro (in Italian Metropolitana di Genova) is a light metro consisting of a single line that connects the centre of Genoa, Italy with the suburb of Rivarolo Ligure, to the north-west of the city centre. The service is currently managed by Azienda Mobilità e Trasporti, which provides public transport for the City of Genoa.
It is a 5 km long standard gauge (1,435 mm) double-track line and is electrified at 750 volts DC. It has a direct connection with the underground suburban station under Trenitalia's mainline railway station, Principe. The first section, opened on 13 June 1990 in time for the football World Cup, was 2.6-kilometre (1.6 mi) between the stations of Brin and Dinegro[1]. The line was extended to Principe in 1992, to San Giorgio-Caricamento in 2003 and to De Ferrari (underground station at Piazza De Ferrari) in 2005.

The line is currently being extended to the east to Brignole (Genoa's other mainline railway station, at the eastern end of the city centre). This extension is expected to be completed in 2012.
