The Spálgleann Metro (Caldish: Meitreo Spálgleann ) is a rapid transit system in Spálgleann, Caldia. It is the world's northernmost metro system. The Spálgleann Metro's first line opened in 1943. Today, the system has five lines, including one light rail line. There are 103 stations. The system has also been given the nickname of the "never-ending art gallery" as over 80 of its stations are decorated with art installations from more than 100 international artists.
Initially, the metro system was operated by the publicly-owned Spálgleann City Transit. Operations were transferred to the national CIG in 2001.
