Milan's M4 Metro: ribbon-cutting ceremony for San Babila station
Metro M4 Milano: apertura stazione San Babila
MILAN, July 4, 2023 – Milan’s Linate airport is now just 12 minutes away from the city’s historic centre following today’s inauguration of the San Babila Station of the new M4 metro line. The Tricolore Station, which precedes San Babila along the line’s route from the airport, has also opened to the public. Present at the official ceremony, alongside Webuild Chief Executive Pietro Salini, were Italian Infrastructure and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini, and Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala.
The M4 is a fully automated light rail system that runs entirely underground. It is driverless, and the carriage doors open only at the station stops, with the platforms separated from the moving cars by protective glass in order to guarantee maximum safety for all passengers.
