System Map

Qom Metro is a metro system serving the city of Qom, Iran, currently under construction. A metro line with a length of 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) with 14 stations is due to be completed by the end of 2024. A monorail line with a length of 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) with 8 stations is partially built but construction has been halted. An extension of the monorail, plus two other brand new metro lines, are being considered as part of future plans.^[1]

Lines

Line A

Line A is an underground metro line currently under construction, due to open by the end of 2021.^[2]^{[needs update]} The line has a length of 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) with 14 stations, extending from the Northern edge of the city, passing near Qom railway station and Fatima Masumeh Shrine, terminating at Jamkaran Mosque.

Line M

Line M is a currently partially built monorail line. The line is planned to connect Fatima Masumeh Shrine to locations upstream and downstream of Qom River. Construction commenced in 2009^[3] and large sections including some stations were completed. A two-car train was delivered in 2015 and some testing was carried out. However in 2016 doubts about opening the system by the following year were raised.^[4] Further construction was suspended soon after.^[5]^[6] As of 2021^[update] no information is available on resumption of work.

The line was originally planned to span the whole city East-West but it was cut to its current length. An extension of the line may be considered in the future.
