THE JOURNEY IS YOURS

One city. More ways to explore.

Plan a metro outing

6 LINES · ONE CITY
Start here1. Find your station2. Pick an outing3. Follow the route

Choose your starting line

New to the metro? Read the route

Board = your starting station. Towards = the direction shown on the platform. Change = switch to another line at that station. Get off = your destination station. A stop count covers the train ride; walking is separate.

Suggestions update as you choose. Time below is for your visit, excluding travel.

A few good reasons to hop on

About these routes & walking distances

Station names, line order and interchanges come from the RCRC open station dataset, checked 6 October 2026. Routes are planning suggestions, not a live or fastest-route service. Confirm station availability, departure times, fares and your return trip with Darb.

Walking distances are not yet verified for each station exit. Open the walking route for distance, crossings and the destination entrance before you go. A nearby station does not guarantee a step-free or shaded walk.

LESS PLANNING. MORE GOING.
