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.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:
“Make your plans for the year in the spring, and your plans for the day early in the morning.”
—Chinese proverb.
“The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
