Temi Natlia (also known as Natlia Metro) is a rapid transit system primarily serving Greater Natlia, which includes central wards of Natlia as well as the cities of Nakitikta and Bet Halon. It is operated by Triamethe Midan Khr., a majority state-owned company, which also operates other forms of rail transport in Greater Natlia such as the Jiemigrat Light Rail and Natlia Commuter.
The system's first line began its operation between Natlia and Minachi stations in 1935. Today it is part of Line 1 and has been extended to Tigrahara. With the expansion of the network particularly during the late 1960s, Temi Natlia today has 290 stations across 14 lines including the most recent Line 14 which was opened in 2010. In 2016 the network carried up to 6.5 million passengers daily and 2.39 billion passengers annually, making it one of world's busiest metro systems.
