Santiago Metro Line 5 is one of the five lines that currently make up the Santiago Metro network in Santiago, Chile. It has 30 stations and 30 km of track. The line intersects with Line 1 at Baquedano station and San Pablo station, with Line 2 at Santa Ana station, and with Line 4 at Vicente Valdés station. It will also intersect with the future Line 6 at Ñuble station and with the future Line 3 at both Plaza de Armas station and Irarrázaval station. Its distinctive colour on the network line map is green.
In 2011, Line 5 accounted for 20.8% of all trips made on the Santiago Metro.

History
Line 5 was opened to the public on April 5 1997 by President Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle at Bellavista de La Florida station.[1] It initially ran only between Bellavista de La Florida station and Baquedano station and used modern NS-93 trains imported from France. It was particularly welcomed by people living in the southern districts of Santiago and the area around Vicuña Mackenna Avenue, who saw their commute time to the centre of the city drastically reduced.
It was the first train line in Chile run on an elevated viaduct, the viaduct carrying the section of track between Ñuble station and Mirador station, with the remainder running underground.
In March 4, 2000, Line 5 was extended to the east from Baquedano station to Santa Ana station. This extension included a station at Plaza de Armas central square, allowing commuters to interchange with Line 2, reducing travel time between the centre and the east of the city.
The line was extended again on March 31, 2004, opening Quinta Normal station and Cumming station to the public. Quinta Normal station is one of the biggest on the Metro network, with space for hosting cultural events, and connects to Quinta Normal Park, where the Chilean National Museum of Natural History and a branch of the Santiago Museum of Contemporary Art are located.
On November 30, 2005, Vicente Valdés station was opened at the southern end of Line 5, serving as an interchange point with Line 4. It also provided a larger hub for the influx of people coming up from Line 4 than Bellavista de La Florida station.
On November 17, 2008, an express service began to run on Line 4 at peak times, stopping at certain stations only to allow for faster journeys.
The first section of a new extension to Pudahuel station in the east of Santiago opened on January 13, 2011,[2] followed by the second part, to Plaza de Maipú station, in December of the same year.
Libertad station
Libertad is a “ghost” station on Line 5 located between Quinta Normal station and Cumming station. The station was never finished and never opened, due to the low density of population living in the area or travelling through it.
Communes served by Line 5
Line 4 serves the following communes from west to east:

The express service[3] works during peak hours and allows trains to stop at alternate stations, reducing the number of stops and the duration of journeys. The stations on the line are divided into “green route” stations, “red route” stations and and “common” stations (Spanish: estación común), where all trains stop and allow passengers to switch between red and green routes. The express service works from Monday to Friday, between 6am - 9am and 6pm - 9pm.
