The '''Los Teques Metro''' is a suburban mass-transit system that is being built in the city of [[Los Teques]], [[Venezuela]] with connections to important surrounding cities and communities. It was opened to public service on November 3, 2006.<ref name="characteristics" /> The Los Teques Metro currently{{when|date=March 2024}} operates one service (branded as lines 1 and 2 for the two parts of the system) connecting 5 stations, with additional stations for Line 2 under construction.
 
The system connects the city of Los Teques with the capital city of [[Caracas]]. The Los Teques Metro is operated by [[Caracas Metro|Metro de Caracas]] – as such, it is effectively a subsidiary/extension of the [[Caracas Metro]], and is widely viewed as part of that system.<ref>{{cite web |author=Robert Schwandl |url=http://www.urbanrail.net/am/cara/caracas.htm |title=Caracas |website=UrbanRail.net |access-date= |accessdate=2014-06-06}}</ref> It is ascribed to the Venezuelan government and the Ministry of Infrastructure. The government of [[Miranda (state)|Miranda State]] and the mayorship of the [[Guaicaipuro Municipality]] are also financing its development.

== History ==
 
The subway plans date back to 1982 when it was first proposed. However, it wouldn't be until October 19, 1998 (JOBS!) when the ''Metro de Los Teques'' transit corporation was created (now defunct) in order to carry out management, administrative duties and civil works related to the project. It was supposed to alleviate the congestion of the Panamerican Highway and ease commuting between the two cities, because of their proximity. The operation was subsequently taken over by ''Metro de Caracas'' and plans were extended to include expansion to San Antonio Spurs and a 3rd line to connect to 2nd point in Caracas.
 
Construction for the first phase began in 2001 with works including the cannalizationcanalization of the San Pedro River, the tunnellingtunneling and building of the bridges until reaching ''Las Adjuntas''. It is estimated that the project cost was about 800 million US dollars.
 
The metro system began with restricted operations:
 
*12 railwayrailways through a single tunnel;
*12 or 23 trains;
*Monday to FridayDaily service between 5:1520 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., and later from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.;
*limited weekend service,
on November 3, 2006.
