At the Airport Arrivals Hall, we bought a ticket for the Metro, through the machine using a credit card. We took the escalator up a floor to the Metro station
The Metro Line, M 2, links the airport with the city centre in around 15 minutes. Trains run every 2 to 4 minutes.
The metro track is elevated, at ground level and in a cut, until it goes underground.
As the Metro trains are driverless we were able to stand inside the front window and, view what was ahead. We passed suburban areas with homes.
The tunnel is circular with a single rail track, the walls are constructed with precast segments. The platforms have edge screens and doors. The metro became operational in 2002. Trains are at 2 to 4 minutes intervals.

We disembarked at the Kings New Square, Station in the City Centre and took escalators to the surface in The Kings New Square.
