Kryvyi Rih Metro (Metrotram)

     There is one station, Vovnopriadilna, that was built but is currently not opened due to the absence of passenger traffic in the area. There are two routes: Kiltseva-Maidan Pratsi, and Kiltseva-Zarichna with a branch at Zhovtneva. In perspective if the city was to grow further and at one point overcome one million residents all of the Metrotram infrastructure can be converted into a full metro system.
