Useful combination
Status: de facto

This tag can be used to mark the route of a metro service (eg the "U79"): a subway, underground or elevated rapid transit train line.

Rail infrastructure not used for passenger transportation (e g railyards) should not be part of the relation.

How to map

Use one relation for each direction, so you need 2 relations for a metro line. Don't forget to add these relations to a route_master relation.
