# Metro

## Metros to keep the world’s cities moving

**From Montreal to Sydney, via Santiago, London, Paris, Cairo and Mumbai, SYSTRA has been involved in almost 1 in 2 metro lines worldwide. Our experts in urban transport cover all aspects of metro projects, from the creation of new networks from scratch or new lines, to extensions or optimisation, including the complete automation of existing infrastructure.**

We are the world leader in automated metros, with **60% of lines** in service,
under construction or being automated. SYSTRA’s engineers deployed the very
first automatic control systems back in the 1970s, with VAL-type full
**automatic control systems** in Lille and CBTC-type systems on line 14 in
Paris.

### Pioneering metros signed SYSTRA

Our references include a number of world firsts: the longest automatic line in
**Dubai**, the busiest line in the world in **Makkah**, lines on one of the
densest networks in **Shanghai**, and a large part of the project management and
project management assistance for the world’s most ambitious metro project, the
**Grand Paris Express** (Paris region).

### SYSTRA at the heart of all phases of a metro project

To bring these projects to fruition, we are equally proficient in technical
design, from preliminary studies to commissioning, in project management or
assistance with operation management, auditing and independent checks, whether
in the field of civil engineering, systems and signalling, command and control
or passenger information and experience.
