About Met Road
Met Road maps every metro, railway, and rapid-transit line across Africa — verified, dated, and tracked in one place.
That information is scattered across operator sites, news reports, and PDFs, often out of date and almost never in one trustworthy view. Met Road pulls it together so a traveller, a local, or a curious reader can see what's running, what's being built, and what it costs — without guessing.
Who's behind it
Met Road is maintained by a small, independent editorial team. It isn't run by a transit authority or a booking company — so no operator pays to look good here, and there's no incentive to overstate a line that isn't really running. We answer to readers, not advertisers.
How we work — and what we're honest about
Most of our city pages are researched, not visited. We build them from primary sources — transit operators and authorities — and we date every fast-changing fact so you can see how fresh it is. Where we have genuine first-hand notes for a city, we say so and mark it. Where we don't, we don't pretend to. Being the best-sourced tracker is the job; faking a “we rode this” would poison the whole site, so we never do it.
The full detail on sourcing and verification is on our How we verify page.
Accuracy over completeness
African transit changes fast, so we'd rather cover fewer cities well than many badly. If a fact can't be confirmed, we hedge it or tell you to confirm locally — we don't state guesses as facts. Treat times and fares here as a starting point, not a substitute for checking on the day. For trips in unfamiliar places, our travel-safely guide is worth a look.
