The Seville, Málaga and Granada metro systems, together with the Cádiz Bay Tram—commercially known as Trambahía—have surpassed 500 million passenger journeys in total since opening. Demand statistics through August 31 put their combined ridership at 500,937,468. The systems are managed by the Andalusian regional government.
Andalusia’s minister for public works and mobility, Mario Muñoz-Atanet, said the total reflects the role the four systems have established in metropolitan transport. He cited year-on-year demand growth and positive results in annual satisfaction surveys as encouragement for the regional government’s work to improve and modernise services, expand metro networks and reactivate the Jaén and Alcalá de Guadaíra tram systems.
Seville Metro, the first of Andalusia’s metropolitan systems to open, began service in April 2009 and has carried 275,058,994 passengers through August 31. Work is under way on the first three sections of the northern extension of Line 3. Bids for the fourth section, along the Ronda Histórica, are being evaluated.
Málaga Metro, which opened in July 2014, has carried 109,901,407 passengers. The opening of the Guadalmedina and Atarazanas stations in March 2023 brought the system into Málaga’s historic centre. Annual ridership rose from 6.7 million in 2022 to more than 19.22 million in 2025. Construction is under way on three sections extending Line 2 from Guadalmedina towards the planned Hospital Virgen de la Esperanza. An information study is also being prepared to assess possible extensions along three other corridors: connections to the PTA, an extension to Ciudad Jardín and an eastern extension to El Palo/Rincón de la Victoria.
Granada Metro, in service since September 2017, has carried 108,166,640 passengers. Construction of its southern extension is in its final phase. Civil works are complete, and initial tests of infrastructure and power systems have begun along the route from the current terminus at Armilla to Las Gabias, through Churriana de la Vega.
Trambahía entered commercial service in October 2022 and has carried 7,810,427 passengers. The train-tram system combines tram and rail services to connect communities around Cádiz Bay.
Across all four systems, annual ridership rose from 50.19 million in 2023—the first year all were operating with their current extensions—to 62.08 million in 2025, an increase of 23.7%. The systems are managed by the Public Works Agency of the Andalusian regional government. The Jaén and Alcalá de Guadaíra tram systems are expected to join its network following a recent decree transferring responsibility, approved by the regional government’s governing council.
