History



The proposal for a third 3/info/metro" target="_blank">metro 3/info/line" target="_blank">line was approved by the municipal government of 3/info/milan" target="_blank">Milan in 1977. The route was chosen based on a study of main traffic routes in previous years. The final projected route was presented in early 1981. Works on the new 3/info/line" target="_blank">line began on 8 September in the same year.
The first section, from Centrale to Duomo opened on 3 May 1990, just in time for the beginning of the World Cup. However, only a shuttle service was active between the two terminus. The 3/info/line" target="_blank">line was extended to Porta Romana at the end of the year.
New extensions to Sondrio to the north and to San Donato to the south opened on 12 May 1991.
Further extensions of the new 3/info/line" target="_blank">line happened slowly in the following years. Zara station was inaugurated only on 16 December 1995 and Maciachini on 8 December 2003. The last extension (Maciachini-Comasina) opened in early 2011.

"8080" series - built by Socimi, with GTO–VVVF inverters made by Hitachi. Decommissioned.

Planned extension


A southeastern extension of the 3/info/line" target="_blank">line has been planned.
