{{Adana Metro}}
'''Adana Metro''' ({{lang-tr|Adana metrosu}}) is a rail [[rapid transit]] system extending {{convert|13.5|km|mi|2|sp=us}} along a north–south corridor through [[Adana]], with 13 stations. It can transport 21,600 passengers per hour per direction. The total travel time on the metro, end to end, takes 21 minutes, including all stops.
==History==
The rapid transit system for [[Adana]] was initiated in 1988 after requests from the mayor [[Aytaç Durak]] and the [[Çukurova University]] rector Mithat Özsan to the Ministry of Transportation. A feasibility report was completed on May 30, 1990, by the consortium of PMBI A.Ş. and Brinckerkoff Int.Inc. The report was approved by the State Planning Agency and the construction of the rapid transit system was included in the 1993 investment program. In 1996, the project was contracted to Adtranz-Alarko-ABB Electric Consortium for $US 340 million.<ref name="metrosu">{{cite web|url=http://www.adana.bel.tr/rayli-sistem-projesi-sayfa.html |title=Metro Raylı Taşıma Sistemi

To accommodate the new residential developments along the project route and to better integrate northern and southern Adana, the Adana Metropolitan Municipality decided to make an amendment to the project plan by extending the line to southern Adana. The southernmost point of the initial project had been the D-400 state road. Amendments were approved by State Planning Agency in 1999 and the construction of the metro started on 28 January 1999.
Line 37 ⟶ 38:
Unexpected costs increases during the construction of the Metro led to the need for extra funding for the project. Metropolitan Municipality made a request to State Planning Agency for new funding, but the request was declined. As a result, construction of the Metro stopped in 2002. After 6 years, the Municipality was able to get approval for new funding of $US 194.2 million and construction resumed in 2008.
On 18 March 2009, the Metro was partially opened
All sections of the Adana Metro opened for full public service on 14 May 2010.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Yıl |first1=Bünyamin |title=Adana metrosu dualarla açıldı |url=https://www.hurriyet.com.tr/gundem/adana-metrosu-dualarla-acildi-14724788 |access-date=9 May 2021 |work=Hürriyet |agency=DHA |date=14 May 2010 |language=tr}}</ref>
The cut-and-cover tunnels with a diameter of {{Cvt|5|m|ftin}}, a depth between {{Cvt|15-16|m|ftin}} and {{Cvt|1.13|km}} length, were constructed as the part of metro construction. The tunnels constructed a few meters deeper than the underground water level ({{Cvt|12|m|ftin}}).<ref>{{Cite journal |title=ADANA HAFİF RAYLI TAŞIMA SİSTEMİNDEKİ AÇ KAPA TÜNELLERİ|url=https://www.maden.org.tr/resimler/ekler/b89fd138b104dcf_ek.pdf |journal=Madencilik |publication-date=September 2003 |volume=42 |pages=31–39 |access-date=2021-05-09}}</ref>

{{Unreferenced section|date=November 2023}}
The line starts from the metro-car depot west of the Hospital for Mental Health. Following Turgut Özal Boulevard, the line reaches Anadolu Lycee, then turns south and follows Alparslan Türkeş Boulevard, crosses [[Turkish State Railways|TCDD]] rail tracks near the City Hall and enters Southern Adana passing the D-400 state road. It then heads to the west of the Kocavezir Commercial Center and the Hürriyet Police Station until it reaches the [[Seyhan River]]. Crossing the river just north of the Regülatör Bridge, the line heads north, again crossing the D-400 state road and ends next to Yüreğir Bus Terminal.
===Stations===
The Metro has total of 13 stations on one line, of which 4 are underground, 5 are elevated, and 4 are on the surface.

==Future service==
Adana Metro will be extended from Akıncılar to the [[Çukurova University]] main campus ("second stage" project). The extension will be {{convert|9.3|km|mi|adj=on|sp=us}} long,<ref name="metrosu" /> and will have 7 stations. The project was contracted out in January 2010 and the construction was expected to start after an agreement was made with the Çukurova University. As the extension will not be a new line, it will be built consistent with the current system and it is expected to cost $US 210 million.<ref name="Haber" /> Once the extension is completed, the Adana Metro will be {{convert|23.3|km|mi|sp=us}} in length and serve 20 stations,<ref name="Haber">{{cite news|url=http://www.adanahaber.biz/adana-buyuksehir-belediyesince-hazirlanan-ikinci-etap-rayli-tasima-sistemi-projesi-210-milyon-dolara-mal-olacak.html |title=İkinci Etap Raylı Taşıma Sistemi Projesi 210 milyon dolara mal olacak |newspaper=Adana Haber |language=
There are also plans to run a suburban rail line on an existing railway with connections to the Metro.
