Currently the Valencia Metro operates Line 1 for service, with a further section (Line 2) of the same north-south route under construction, and a third section (Line 3) in the engineering and environmental impact phases. Thus, of the full north-south route, only are currently in service, with the remaining still under construction or in development. Not every segment of construction on this route is an independent "line." When the system is fully completed, it will form a single continuous route, with no transfers necessary to complete a trip along the route. A separate east-west Line 4 will connect mainly the Valencia Municipality with San Diego Municipality of the same city, and it is in the preliminary planning stage.
