About This Game

Mini Metro is a strategy simulation game about designing a subway map for a growing city. Draw lines between stations and start your trains running. As new stations open, redraw your lines to keep them efficient. Decide where to use your limited resources. How long can you keep the city moving?

In this game, you can…

  • …play a mode where the lines you draw are permanent, so every route becomes a long-term commitment you can't undo later.
  • …pause constantly to pick up trains, drop them at problem stations, and build temporary one-stop lines to bleed pressure off the map.
  • …watch trains make smart decisions, dropping passengers at interchanges to transfer instead of taking everyone on pointless loops.
