The metro network consists of 2 lines which were planned in the 1960's. The first stretch opened on 6 Nov 1967 between Baki Soveti and Narimanov (6.5 km). In 1968, a 2.4 km stretch from 28 Mai to Khatai was put into service. Currently a new transfer station is being built at 28 Mai to avoid train crossing. The network was expanded gradually and reached its current length of 30.5 km in 2002. Stations have 100 m platforms which allow the use of 5-car-trains in service since 1985. Track gauge is 1524 mm, power supply is via third rail (825 V dc).

Line 2 is currently under construction towards the north although no date for completion is known. It will eventually be extended also towards the east.

The Baku subway claims the honor of having the world's worst subway accident, in which 300 people died of carbon monoxide poisoning. A bomb exploded in 1994, killing 14 people. So far, there have also been two terrorist attacks on the Baku metro. Hetai station was reopened in 2001 for the third time. The last closure was due seawater in the station and tunnels.

All former Soviet Union and North Korean metros are all elaborate and elegant. Its as if its a palace underground or something...

Yeah unforunately that is the trueth! :( One attacked was carry out by lezgin terrorist organization, other two attackes were carry out by armenian terrorists.

Azerbaijan is quite a rich country, right?

Azerbaijan is quite a rich country, right?

Azerbaijan is very rich with its culture and resourses. But there are still some problems in economy. But it is growing fast. Also the data of CIA and other structures don't show the real benefits of azerbaijani society, actually the real situation in Azerbaijanis much better than CIA's data and etc. But there is a problem with occupied territories(about 20% of Azerbaijan is occupied by Armenia) and refugees. Each 8-th azerbaijanian citizen is a refugee :( But i hope we will take all this territories back. Also Azerbaijanis carryng out the biggest projects of region Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and "Contract of Century".

beautiful stations

Uhh, yes, going to war is going to help.... :hmmm:

Can you talk a bit about the 28 May station and the interchange? I read many conflicting pieces of informatoin. What's the status now?

I meant the routing through the station. How many times was it changed?

wow, so elegant and modern stations!

Nice elegance in the stations.

Quite nice and the station (1st pic) reminds me the St. Petersburg ones.

:okay:

beautiful stations, looks some stations in Russia!!

All former Soviet Union and North Korean metros are all elaborate and elegant. Its as if its a palace underground or something...

I think is like this because this decoration simbolizes the soviet revolution, giving to worker classes (metro users), rich ruiling classes goods (elegant decoration).

I don't know, maybe former-USSR SSC users could extend the information.

Is there any remaining of now closed tramway system present in today’s Baku? Sumkayt & Baku’s tram closure is a modern day’s incident. While many Asian countries like North Korea, Turkey etc. have returned their trams, it is a great matter or shame that some Asian countries like Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia etc. has closed their rich tram networks recently.

What were the problems behind the tramway closure in Baku (& Sumqayt)?

The nubmers of cars that is growing day by day. I feel sad that they closed the tram lines in 3 azerbaijani cities: Baku, Ganca and Sumgayit.

As for Baku metro, new Nasimi station was opened in 2008 and another Azadlyg station will be opened in 2009. Three more stations including the first 2 stations of the third line are under construction. In general the plans are to open at least one station per year and this process will take place for some 20 years.

SYSTRA to carry out feasibility studies for extensions to the Bakou metro (Azerbaijan)

As head of a consortium including, amongst others, MottMacDonald Prague (Czech Republic) and SAMAN (Korea), SYSTRA S.A. has won an international call for tenders launched by the Bakou Metro to draw up designs for the future metro network.

The study phase will include a survey about the urban mobility of public transport users and the development of a model for traffic forecasting. This will enable a plan to be drawn up for the development of the Bakou metro, which will involve extending the two existing lines and creating two new lines.

The consortium will then carry out the studies required for preparation of the planned construction projects, namely a study of the subsurface of the city, preliminary designs for the tunnels and stations, the choice of transport systems and of all the principles for operation and handling of passenger flows which are necessary to run a modern metro system.

The award of this contract is recognition of SYSTRA’s expertise in modernising and developing metro systems from the former Soviet era.

Once completed, the network could cover an additional 60 kilometres and include 50 new stations. This landmark project reflects the wishes of the President of Azerbaijan to launch a major urban development scheme in the country’s capital, Bakou.

SYSTRA is continuing to strengthen its presence in the country, following on from its involvement at the beginning of the year in the renovation of the railway network in Azerbaijan, through a programme financed by the Asian Development Bank.

I wish I could say I like those new stations. Certainly a lot of efforts was put in to make them appear... erm... shiny... However, too much bling bling kitsch for me

Are there any plans to buy new train sets?

Are there any plans to buy new train sets?

According to Baku Metro Authority new trains from France will run in new built subway stations in new lines. At the same time the 3-rd line of Baku subway is under construction and will be prolonged until to the station "Avtovagzal" near to the newly built bus terminal.

Stantion like thise :

http://www.urbanrail.net/eu/par/fotos/ligne1/L1-16-hotel-ville1.jpg

Probably some new planed station will be with side platforms. The main plan is to expand 40 new stations all over Baku Metro City. One station per year will be constructed. Already new equipment TBM (Shown below) bought from Robbins EPB for this purpose. Which will help easily to achieve the goal. So we hope some new stations will be with side platforms. :)

wow those trains are beautiful :)

^^Of course they are beautiful than ugly soviet trains :)

^^ It's just pictures. Actually, Baku buys more "ugly soviet trains" nowdays.

^^ I agree it is just pictures but one day they can be reality.

Because they are cheap but I personally do not like them.

very clean and modern

Thanks:)

For the third line which will be opened in 2011 they will buy the trains from France. Our train park is new now (the oldest trains are from the late 90-th), but even though I wish to see descent trains not the ones we buy from Russia

New subway station to be opened in Baku next year

Baku. Rashad Suleymanov – APA-ECONOMICS.

New subway station will be opened in Baku next May, chief engineer of the Baku underground system Elbrus Muradov told APA-ECONOMICS.

Muradov said the new station would be located on Hazi-Aslanov – Memar Ajami line following the Azadlig Prospekti station. The new station is conditionally named as Mushfig.

The underground system official said the construction work was continued currently according to the schedules.

Baku subway was founded in 1967 and there are 22 stations and one depot there. On November 10, 2009, the President of Azerbaijan issued an order about some measures for the development of prospects of the Baku underground system.

This map is not corresponding with the official plannings!!
it is also not corresponding with this one at the recent opening picture from the side, because one new line is crossing the east Terminal of line 2 Xetai!

>> attention if such inofficial - selfe made "plannings" are going up arond the world and becoming then "official"

So you can identify the crossing stations
my one I can't add it is from a official book.

Congratulations on the new metro station! Looks pretty nice:) It is commendable that you grow underground with such fast pace!

Baku Underground Station “Azadliq Prospekti”

The construction began in 1990. Then all works were stopped and resumed only in 2008. The project of interiors, subways, lobbies and platform of the station were made in the same year. We reached an organisation of environment not suppressing passengers psychologically. Bright colours of marble, granite and their advanced substitutes, refinement of ornaments of walls and floors and of an original technique of lighting (each of six chandeliers of the platform has an area of 54 sq. m.) have allowed to attach to the station interiors an imagery which gladdens the eye, while preserving laconism and functionality.

That looks really nice! I like the platform level very much.

I wish the stations in Sofia are any, but not so lucky!

By Galandar; Some digging works have been started near Hazi Aslanov subway station. It is expected that they prepare for the construction of a Hazi Aslanov II and the tunnel towards future Guneshli station.

Great! Do you have more pics from Baku? It's kind of little and hard to get some images of this metro system. Would be nice to see some more.

I agree, it is hard to get images. Here are some more photos:

Why do they have to add all that glitz and shiny marble? I guess it's a cultural thing, but I'd still prefer a much simpler, modern look.

The Azeris have been cursed with a culture that reveres shiny things and disdains ugly modernism.

Why do they have to add all that glitz and shiny marble?

Haha i'd love it... if it were only one station. :lol:


But my first concern then goes to those awful rainy days we have here where people make the floor all wet with their wet shoes and clothes... i would slip and slide onto the tracks :lol:

Baku subway is considered as an architectural monument, so that is the reason.
