Line 1 (Kharkiv Metro)

Line 1, also known as the Kholodnohirsko-Zavodska Line, is the first line of the Kharkiv Metro, a rapid transit system serving the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine. Opened on August 23, 1975, it is distinguished by its red color designation and its east-west trajectory across the city. The line stretches approximately 17.3 kilometers (10.7 miles) and comprises 13 stations. Notable stations along Line 1 include Istorychnyi Muzei (connecting to the Oleksiivska Line), Universitet, and the termini, Kholodna Hora and Industrialna. The line serves as a crucial transportation artery for Kharkiv residents, connecting residential, commercial, and industrial districts. It plays a significant role in the city's public transport network, facilitating efficient movement across the city. Operation of the line has been affected by the Russo-Ukrainian War, with intermittent closures and service adjustments based on security conditions.
