Neris Métro

The Neris Métro (French: Métro de Neris) is a rapid transit system in the City of Neris. A symbol of the city, it is noted for its density within the city limits and its uniform architecture. It is fully underground. There are 6 lines, numbered 1 to 6. Lines are identified on maps by number and colour, and direction of travel is indicated by the terminus. It has 64 stations, making it the 47th largest subway system in the world by number of stations.

The first line opened in 1961, attracting tourism from the world. The system expanded quickly and the system was completed in 1992. Extensions into suburbs and Line 6 were built in 1992. It is owned and operated by tbd, a state-owned transportation company that is focused on Neris. The Neris Métro is the only metro system in Trelico.

Stations
The typical station comprises two central tracks flanked by two 4-m-wide platforms. Several stations, generally current or former termini, are exceptions; most have three tracks and two platforms, or two tracks and a central platform. Some stations are single-track, either due to difficult terrain, a narrow street above or track loops. Station length was originally 75 m. This was extended to 90 m on high-traffic lines, with some stations at 105 m. In general, stations were built near the surface using the cut-and-cover method, and are vaulted. Several ghost stations are no longer served by trains. Many of these have been purchased for private use, whilst some have been purchased for use in films.

Concourses are decorated in Art Noveau style defined at the Paris Métro's opening in 1900. The Neris Métro's stations are largely influenced by the Paris Métro's. The spirit of this aesthetic has generally been respected in renovations. Standard vaulted stations are lined by small white earthenware tiles. From the outset walls have been used for advertising; posters in early stations are framed by coloured tiles with the name of the operator. A number of stations have original decorations to reflect the cultural significance of their locations.

Future
The Neris Métro has announced that it looks to expand across the full Île-de-Trelico region. This project is expected to be completed by 2025. Following the completion of the project, the Métro looks to expand into surrounding regions. In order to complete the previous these projects, it is likely the Métro will sell 15% of its shares for a high price, eventually looking to purchase them again. All lines will be extended by several stations in upcoming years. There is a plan for a new line, connecting the ten main tourism attractions of the city. There is also a plan for the Neris Métro to create a tram system in Igan, the second largest city of Trelico.

Cultural significance
The Métro has a cultural significance that goes well beyond the city of Neris.
