The Sapporo Metro is a public transportation system, an underground railway, located in the Japanese city of the same name. This transportation system has three operational lines, 49 stations, and a total length of 48 kilometers. This metro is unique since it uses rubber wheels. It was inaugurated on 1971, and is the fourth transportation system of this kind in Japan. Many of the Sapporo Metro stations are semi-superficial because they need to be protected against snow during the cold winters. The ticket price for the shortest trip between two stations is of 200 yen (1.81 USD). There are many other prices available. Service starts at 6:15 in the morning and ends at midnight.
