Metro, stylised in all lowercase, is a rapid rail transit operator in Stepford County Railway that was released in Version 2.2. Services are focused on the Metro Core Section in Stepford, with routes going to Willowfield, Stepford Victoria, Stepford UFC, Port Benton, Morganstown, Barton, Greenslade & Stepford Bay.

The original plans of the operator intended to operate a rapid rail transit system connecting the Stepford City Zone with various districts around Stepford County, such as Coxly, Winstree, Morganstown, Whitefield, Berrily and Stepford Airport. These plans were cancelled by 2018, with most tracks and stations being demolished, transferred to Stepford Connect, or left abandoned. The original operator would be confirmed cancelled during a Directors Q&A session in 2020.^[1]

New plans for the operator were first teased in a sneak peek released on 29 December 2024, with a red background and text stating "New year new me", and the addition of the operator confirmed in a second sneak peek of a Class 777 a day later, and a logo being released. Operations officially began on 11 May 2025 when Version 2.2 was released, adding 19 routes and 7 trains.

The operator uses a coral red (#EE4044) and frost blue (#DBF3FF) colour scheme, which is slightly different from the thunderbird red (#C4281C) colour scheme that was originally intended back in 2017.

History

2017

25 November
- Stepford County Railway opens. Plans for an operator under the name Metro were first created along with this release, then as a rapid rail transit system. Due to the short travel times, the operator could have been classified as commuter rail, or as regional rail due to the large size of the network.

2018

21 April - Version 1.0
- By this time, plans for this operator were scrapped and the infrastructure was demolished (e.g. the Metro Loop as well as Winstree station), transferred to Stepford Connect, or left abandoned (e.g. Coxly Newtown and Upper Staploe). Certain plans for branches were kept, but now as extensions to the Stepford Connect network.
31 December - Version 1.1
- The stations on the Morganstown Branch as well as the stations between Stepford Central and Stepford Victoria open under Stepford Connect. Beechley and Willowfield stations were renamed to City Hospital and Financial Quarter, respectively.

2019

28 April - Version 1.2
- The stations on the Whitefield Branch open under Stepford Connect. This leaves only the abandoned stations at Coxly Newtown and Upper Staploe left without service.

2020

17 October
- A Q&A session is hosted by the Directors. In said session, the cancellation of Metro is officially confirmed.
