The Ankara Metro (Turkish: Ankara Metrosu) is the rapid transit system serving Ankara, the capital of Turkey. At present, Ankara's rapid transit system consists of three metro lines – the Ankaray (A1), the M1 - M2 - M3 and the M4. The Ankaray, M1, M2, M3 and M4 lines transported 172.1 million passengers in 2024. That corresponds to a ridership of approximately 470,185 per day. In July 2018, the lines M1 and M3 were merged into a single line. Subsequently, in February 2019, the line M2 was also integrated into that service. This merger provides uninterrupted service between Koru and OSB-Törekent.
