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 the Natlia S-train. "Temi" is the Lithian abbreviation of Triamethe Midan, which translates to "Metropolitan Electric Train".

The system's first line began its operation between Natlia and Minachi stations in 1935. The line was built just below the surface using the cut-and-cover method. Later in 1940 a new line operated between Cafetmin and Kalos stations. Today these lines are part of Line 1 and 6 respectively. Ensuing Imperial rule at the time halted expansion plans for the system throughout the decade. In 1950, the system resumed operations and was renamed Temi Natlia. Greatly increased demand for the system during the 1950s led to numerous expansion projects, the first of which is the extension of the now-Line 6 to form a loop line, followed by the opening of Line 3 and 4 in 1962 and 1964 respectively. Most recently Line 14 was opened in 2010 and operates between Hannaim and Primlen.

Temi Natlia in its present form has 290 stations across 14 lines in 424 kilometres (263 mi) of the system track. Of the tracks, all within the Line 6 loop are underground; most of its immediate surroundings are as well, while others are mixed, either elevated or at-grade. For example, parts of Line 13 from Nashemmie eastwards are at-grade, while Line 4 from Siraflair northwards and the whole of Line 14 are elevated. 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.
