Copenhagen Metro

The Copenhagen Metro is a driverless rapid-transit system serving Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, and nearby areas in Denmark. Its automated trains run on lines that combine underground and elevated sections.

Automatic train operation: A system that controls train movement automatically, from acceleration and braking to station stopping. The metro runs without onboard drivers, relying on automated control throughout service.
Ørestad development: The planned development of a new Copenhagen district on the island of Amager. The prospect of serving Ørestad helped motivate the metro’s construction.
Copenhagen Airport: Denmark’s main international airport, located on the island of Amager. The metro provides a direct connection between the airport and central Copenhagen.
Copenhagen S-train: The suburban commuter rail network serving Copenhagen and surrounding towns. S-trains cover a wider metropolitan area, while the metro concentrates on frequent urban service.
Communications-based train control: A railway signalling system that uses continuous communication to regulate train locations and movement. Continuous train supervision supports the metro’s short headways and automated operation.
Copenhagen Metro construction: The building of Copenhagen’s first metro lines, begun in the 1990s and opened in 2002. Its tunnels, stations, and elevated sections created the original system.
Nørreport Station: A major railway and metro interchange in central Copenhagen. The metro’s lines meet commuter and regional rail at one of the city’s busiest stations.
Copenhagen light rail: A planned light-rail line serving suburbs west of Copenhagen. It is a separate regional project, with street-level sections unlike the metro’s grade-separated routes.
Platform screen doors: Barriers along station platforms that open only when train doors are aligned. They separate passengers from the tracks in the metro’s automated stations.
M1 (Copenhagen Metro): A Copenhagen Metro line running between Vanløse and Vestamager through central Copenhagen. M1 was among the two lines that opened the metro in 2002.
