The metro of Copenhagen

The new metro in Copenhagen was inaugurated in 2001 and the system is one of the world's most modern ones. These new metro trains are computer controlled and driverless! They go partly above ground, but still has only one line and a few stations.

Part of the driverless metro trains go above ground.

You can sometimes get a rollercoaster like feeling when sitting in the front seats of the new metro trains! These photos were taken from the front seat.

The driverless metro. I took this picture from the front seat where the driver sits in traditional trains,
near Orestad when the trains were new in 2001.

The new subway system also features glassdoors at the stations (left and right). This is the station of Kongens Nytorv.
