Mashhad Urban Railway (Persian: قطار شهری مشهد, the literal translation of the name from Persian) is a rapid transit urban rail line in Mashhad, Iran. It is the second rapid transit system in Iran.[4] The project has been known by a number of terms, including "light rail" or "light metro" and "urban rail" or "metro",[5][6][7] though the system's full-grade separation from traffic and five-minute headway fully qualify it as a rapid transit or "metro" system. Mashhad Urban Railway operates its line 1 from 6 to 22:00 daily.[8] Construction of the second line which is a metro line is ongoing. Limited operation of the first phase of line 2, with 10.1 kilometres (6.3 mi) and 9 stations, had just begun in Feb 2017. Tunnel excavation of the first phase of line 3 was started in 2015.
Construction of line 1 began in 1999,[9] with the inauguration of Line 1 taking place on 24 April 2011.[7]
