TheDnipro Metro consists of one 7.8-kilometer (4.8 mi)line and just 6 stations, making it one of the smallest metro systems in the world.[1] The line starts atVokzalna station, near the city's central railway station in the east and ends atPokrovska station in the western part of the city.[2] A three-station extension east has been under construction, but the work is currently on pause.[1] Ridership on the metro has steadily declined since its opening in 1995.[3] In 2013, the metro carried 7.51 million passengers[4] compared to 18.2 million in 1995.[3] Initially, the metro trains carried five train cars each, but as the passenger ridership declined, the number of cars was reduced to three.[5][1]
