In 1968, Rotterdam was the first Dutch city to open a [[Rapid transit|metro]] system. The metro system consists of three main lines, each of which has its own variants. The metro network has {{cvt|78.3|km|1}} of rail tracks, and there are 70 stations, which makes it the biggest of the Benelux. 5 lines operate the system; 3 lines (A, B and C) on the east–west line, and two (D and E) on the north–south line. Line E (Randstadrail) connects Rotterdam with The Hague as of December 2011.
