The Samistopol Metro (Soravian: Самiстопольські митрополит; Samistopol's'ki mytropolit), known locally as the Mytro is the rapid transit underground rail system serving the city of Samistopol, Soravia. The city is the most-used rapid transit system in Euclea by daily (~5-6 million) and annual ridership (~2 billion), and is the largest entirely-underground rapid transit system in the world.
The system opened in 1927, heavily inspired by the art deco movement, which can be seen across the network in its stations' facades and interiors, which has led many to give it the moniker of "the largest art gallery in the world". The system's map became the first official schematic transit map when it was published in 1938. The Mytro is known for its relatively small number of stations for a city of its size, with only 152, but maintains high ridership through the use of notably long trains (up to 16 cars in peak hours) and extremely frequent headways (as little as 1 minute in peak hours). Recently the Mytro has prioritised expanding its existing network through the use of infill stations.
The Samistopol Metro is one of three underground rapid transit systems in Soravia, the others located in Patovatra and Velike Vishnavaya. The Mytro has come under criticism for its lack of integration across other modes of transport, something which has become more frequent in modern metro systems across the world. In 2017, the Mytro introduced other transport links on its map for the first time, including bus routes and the AeroLink systems.
