From July 04, 2023 Milan’s Linate airport is now only 12 minutes away from the city centre following today’s inauguration of the San Babila Station, part of the new M4 metro line. The official ceremony was attended by Webuild Chief Executive Pietro Salini, Italian Infrastructure and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini, and Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala.  

San Babila and Tricolore join the six stations of the M4 that are already in have been in operation since November 2022, running from Linate Airport to Piazzale Dateo, before heading to the centre via the Repetti, Stazione Forlanini, Argonne and Susa stops. Once fully completed, the line will have 21 stations and 15 km of track, running across the city to connect the eastern end where the airport is located with the western end to the San Cristoforo terminus.  

Milan's M4 is one of the most significant underground sustainable mobility projects in Europe. To date, 6,000 passengers use the line every day on the route from Linate to Dateo, and these numbers are set to grow with the opening of the two new stations. In 2024, all the other stops up to the terminus San Cristoforo will also be open, including Sforza Policlinico, which will ensure a connection with the M3 line. Once completed, the M4 will help take 180,000 vehicles off the streets, producing significant benefits in terms of reducing CO2 emissions.  

The M4 is a fully automated light rail system that runs entirely underground. It is driverless, and the carriage doors open only at the station stops, with the platforms separated from the moving cars by protective glass in order to guarantee maximum safety for all passengers.
