The first part of the metro was opened in 1950, when an underground light rail line opened in 1933 was converted to metro standard. This line ran south from Slussen station. Over the following years, this line was expanded to three lines going south from the inner city. In 1952 a line from the inner city to the western suburbs was opened. In 1957 the two line were connected via the central station and old town. This system consisting of three lines now forms the Green line. The Red line was opened in 1964 with two lines going from northeast to southwest. The final system, the Blue line, was opened in 1975 with two lines running northwest from the city center. The latest addition to the Green Line was carried out in 1994.
Stockholm's metro is well known for its decoration of the stations; it has been called the longest art gallery in the world. Several of the stations (especially on the Blue line) are left with the bedrock exposed, crude and unfinished, or as part of the decorations. At the Rissne station, an informative wall fresque about the history of Earth's civilizations runs all along both sides of the platform. // The history of the world, by convention, is human history, from the first appearance of Homo sapiens to the present. ...
The metro system is owned by the Stockholm County Council, which presently has contracted the operation to Connex. The Stockholm Metro was the site of distribution for the first edition of Metro, now a world-wide chain of free newspapers. Stockholm County, or Stockholms län, is a County or län on the Baltic sea coast of Sweden. ...

The system mainly uses 271 modern carriages, but there are also around 200 1970s and 1980s carriages. A full length train has up to eight old, or three new carriages. The length is therefore 140 metres. The older carriages, types C1–C15, are 17.62 m long, 2.8 m wide and 3.8 m high. They weigh between 20 and 30 tonnes and hold 48 seated passengers (384 passengers in an 8 carriage train). The trains normally operate with six or eight carriages. A railroad car (or, more briefly, car, not to be confused with railcar), also known as an item of rolling stock, is a vehicle on a railroad (or railway) that is not a locomotive — one that provides another purpose than purely haulage, although some types of car are powered. ...
The metre, or meter (U.S.), is a measure of length. ...
The majority of the older carriages have now been replaced with the Vagn 2000 (type C20), introduced in 1998. These normally operate with 2–3 carriages; one C20 carriage is 46.5 metres in length, double-articulated and holds 414 passengers. The older trains can occasionally be seen during rush hour on the red and blue lines. Only carriage types C6, C9, C14 and C15 are still in use. These carriage types are collectively referred to as Cx.
A crowded train carries between 1,000–1,200 passengers.
The maximum speed is 80 km/h on the Red and Blue lines, 70 km/h on the Green line (50 km/h at the platforms). Maximum acceleration and deceleration is 0.8 m/s². Kilometre per hour (American spelling: kilometer per hour) is a unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector). ...
To allow close-running trains with a high level of safety, the Tunnelbana uses a continuous signal safety system, which involves information being sent to the train's safety system continually. The signal is picked up from the running rails through two antennas placed in front of the first wheel axle and compared with data about the train's speed. Automatic braking will be triggered if the train exceeds the maximum permitted speed at any one time. The driver is given information about the speed limit through a display in the driver's cabin; in C20 stock, and in Cx stock outfitted for operation with the new signal system installed on the Green line, this is a speedometer with a red maximum speed indicator (needle), while the traditional display in the Cx stock is a set of three lights indicating one of three permitted speeds (High, Medium, Low).
