Line 3
Why is there no line 3?? Georgia guy 23:58, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The Metro projected the construction of the Line 3 after the construction of the Line 2. But, the money for the construction was used to reconstruct Santiago after the earthquake of 1985. Then, the census of 1992 said that La Florida was the most populated comuna of Chile and it doesn't have a Metro line so the project of the Line 5 was made replacing the Line 3. Then was selected the Line 4 and in 2005, Line 3 was defeated by the extensions to Maipú and Las Condes. The Line 3 was projected using Avda Independence (north to south) with connecions in Calicanto, Plaza de Armas and Universidad de Chile, then Avda San Diego, turn to the east, connection with Irrarazaval and Plaza Egaña stations. --KRATK 03:43, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Lines 2 and 5 make line 3 obsolete (well, redundant). They never changed the numbering system, though, which is why line 4a exists but not 3. rhetoric (talk) 08:07, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * They're about to start construction on new lines 3 and 6. Exciting, now I'll only have to walk two blocks to get to the fackin tube... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.22.129.43 (talk) 01:17, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Rubber tyred lines
The article doesn't say which lines are rubber tyred...

Rolling stock
Can somebody add some information for the rolling stock? --PetaRZ (talk) 10:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't know what steel wheel stock runs on the line, but for the rubber tyred trains there are:


 * NS 74, based on the MP 73 from the Paris Metro
 * NS 88
 * NS 93, based on the MP 89 from the Paris Metro
 * NS 04
 * NS 07

Former president
It is somewhat inconsistent to write: "... Near the end of 2005, President Ricardo Lagos said that the government will start to plan ... " and then, when referring to Michele Bachelet saying: "... At the end of 2009, former President Michelle Bachelet ... ".

She made the announcement as president, not as "former" president.

Shooting
Just to let you know, a shooting occurred (1, 2, 3) at the Plaza de Maipú station last Sunday.--Spaceeinstein (talk) 18:01, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Added. Horrid stuff, happened right while Chile was losing to Venezuela in the Copa America. Sad day for the whole country...P.falterman (talk) 17:51, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Incidents/Accidents on the system
I just happened to come across a news report that noted that an NS 93 stock train derailed while enroute to a storage facility. Though no injuries were reported, and the train was empty (except the conductor), the train appeared to be heavily damaged. . Wslupecki (talk) 22:08, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Voltage ?
What voltage are the metro lines?

Is the third rail top, side or bottom contact? Tabletop (talk) 11:09, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Translating from original article in Spanish
I'm currently translating this article from its original Wikipedia entry in Spanish for more updated and accurate information. FrankieSCL (talk) 06:25, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Except that you replaced content (esp. in the lede) that was referenced with content from the Spanish version which was not which made the article less accurate. It is a very bad assumption to assume that foreign language Wikipedia's are "more accurate" than the English Wikipedia because very often, they are not (believe me, I know – I've had to correct info that people have brought over from foreign language Wikis fairly regularly...). In short, please take care when replacing existing content in an article here with "translated" content – I do not feel sufficient care was taken in this case, and feel like you just brought over content from Spanish Wikipedia whether it actually improved the article or not. As a result, I'm removing the 'translate' tag from the article. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:36, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Recent mass evasions
Over the last few days there have been mass evasions happening all throughout the Metro protesting against the most recent price raise, and news outlets are already covering the matter in detail (example). It doesn't look to be dying anytime soon, either, do you think this merits a subsection or is it massive enough already for its own article? --letcreate123 (talk) 21:52, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Hej, I put this recent event in the articel. A two day shut down caused by area wide riots is remarkable. The riots appearing in the context of social protest, so this should be mentioned in an articel about "Social protest in Chile 2019". --87.150.106.210 (talk) 08:45, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

NS-2016
It is necessary to add information about the NS-2016 stock of the system, since nothing has been said about it. VivaBlondie2000 (talk) 22:14, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Wrong Map
The map from the Network Map section includes a line which has not started to be built (Line 9, pink) and some extensions to Line 6 (purple) which are yet to be even announced or confirmed. The map should either just include confirmed extensions as a whole (including Line 7, 8 and 9), or just the current operating lines. 200.89.66.163 (talk) 14:02, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
