Plans
Three stations are currently under construction, which would expand the system from the Dnipropetrovsk Central Railway Station (at Vokzalna) to the city centre; Teatralna (near the Theatre of Opera and Ballet), Tsentralna, and Muzeina (near the Museum of History). Construction on these two stations was restarted in late February 2011 after being completely halted on July 26, 2009.
Two new stations in the city centre, "Teatralna" and "Tsentralna", are on track and expected to be finished by late 2013, whilst "Muzeina" should, according to current plans, be finished by 2015. Another station, "Parus", is planned for the western terminus of the Tsentralno-Zavodska Line. A lack of funding for the construction also gave rise to the fact that Dnipropetrovsk was not chosen as one of the host cities of the UEFA Euro 2012 football championship.
After the first additions to the line segment, the total length of the only line is expected to be 11.82 km (7.34 mi), with 9 stations. In the long term perspective, a second line is planned to span across the Dnipro River, and to potentially have 80 km (50 mi) of track on three lines minimum.

“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”

“In order to become spoiled ... a child has to be able to want things as well as need them. He has to be able to see himself as a being who is separate from everyone else.... A baby is none of these things. He feels a need and he expresses it. He is not intellectually capable of working out involved plans and ideas like “Can I make her give me...?” “If I make enough fuss he will...?” “They let me do ... yesterday and I want to do it again today so I’ll....””
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
