    Short answer

    The Helsinki metro has two lines. M1 runs from Kivenlahti in Espoo to Vuosaari, and M2 from Tapiola to Mellunmäki. They share most of the route and split east of Itäkeskus. Mapa-metro gives 30 stations, 21 of them underground, and a total length of about 43 kilometres. The metro opened on 2 August 1982 and is the only metro in Finland. HSL plans the services and Kaupunkiliikenne Oy runs the trains.
