The San Jorge Xayacaltán Metro, (Canterian: Metro de la Ciudad de San Jorge Xayacatlán) is a rapid transit system that serves the metropolitan area of San Jorge Xayacatlán, including some municipalities in the State of Xayacatlán. Operated by the Sistema de Transporte Colectivo (STC), it's is the second largest metro in Olivacia.
The inaugural STC Metro line was 12.5 kilometres (7.7 mi) long, serving 13 stations and opened to the public on 17 August 1958. The system has expanded since then in a series of fits and starts. As of 2023, the system has 14 lines, and serving 201 stations. All lines are rubber-tired. Of the STC Metro's 201 stations, 31 serve two or more lines (correspondencias or transfer stations), and many of them are named for historical figures, places, or events in Anahuense history. All lines operate from 4.30 a.m. to midnight. The latest line, the Circuito Interior Capitalino (CIC), a city-loop opened on 21 January 2020, with 21 stations (most of them being transfers with other systems.)

Transfers to other systems
Fares
Until 2000, a single metro ticket costed ANP $2.50. In January 2001, the price rose to ANP $5.00, a fare that remains until this day; one purchased ticket allows for unlimited distance travel and transfer at any given time for one day, making the San Jorge Xayacatlán Metro one of the cheapest rail systems in the world. Tickets can be purchased at booths, and are made of paper, having a magnetic strip on them; and are recycled upon being inserted into a turnstile.
Since the construction of Lines 11 and 12, and in an attempt to modernize public transportation, STC Metro rechargeable cards (known as Tarjeta de Movilidad Integrada; Common: Integrated Mobility Card) were first available for an initial cost of ANP $10.00, currently available for ANP $20.00. The card can be recharged at the ticket counter in any station or at their respective machines to a maximum of ANP $500.00 for 100 consecutive trips. The card can also be used as payment for the STC Metro, Metrobús, and the city's trolleybus and either suburban or light rail systems, even though they are all managed by different organizations.
