'''Line 9''' of the [[Madrid Metro]] is a [[rapid transit]] line in [[Madrid]] that originally opened on 31 January 1980 between [[Sainz de Baranda (Madrid Metro)|Sainz de Baranda]] and [[Pavones (Madrid Metro)|Pavones]]. Later it was extended from [[Avenida de América (Madrid Metro)|Avenida de América]] to [[Herrera Oria (Madrid Metro)|Herrera Oria]] on 3 June 1983, though this section was at the time separate from the original part until the missing fragment from Avenida de América to Sainz de Baranda was opened on 24 February 1986.

==History==
On 1 December 1998, the line was extended from {{MdM|Pavones}} to {{MdM|Puerta de Arganda}}. The stations in this section were marked with a unique wall color in each station, making it easy to spot one's destination from the train. For example, [[Pavones (Madrid Metro)|Pavones]] is white, [[Valdebernardo (Madrid Metro)|Valdebernardo]] is yellow, [[Vicálvaro (Madrid Metro)|Vicálvaro]] is a light shade of turquoise, and [[San Cipriano (Madrid Metro)|San Cipriano]] is orange. This approach is being applied in many other new or recently refurbished stations like [[Sevilla (Madrid Metro)|Sevilla]] on [[Line 2 (Madrid Metro)|Line 2]], though there is no representation of the colours on official system maps.

On 11 July 2008, the infill station [[Rivas Futura (Madrid Metro)|Rivas Futura]] opened, located between [[Rivas Urbanizaciones (Madrid Metro)|Rivas-Urbanizaciones]] and [[Rivas Vaciamadrid (Madrid Metro)|Rivas Vaciamadrid]].

On 28 March 2011, the line was extended north from [[Herrera Oria (Madrid Metro)|Herrera Oria]] to [[Mirasierra (Madrid Metro)|Mirasierra]]. On 25 March 2015 the line was extended further north to {{MdM|Paco de Lucía}}. Originally, this station was to be named Costa Brava, but because musician and guitarist [[Paco de Lucía]] died in 2014, the Transport Authorities decided to change its name to pay tribute. A [[Cercanías Madrid|Cercanías]] railway station opened on 5 February 2018, providing a connection between the two rail systems.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.telemadrid.es/noticias/madrid/noticia/inaugurada-la-estacion-de-cercanias-mirasierra-paco-de-lucia |title=La estación de Cercanías Mirasierra-Paco de Lucía, en servicio desde este martes |access-date=5 February 2018 |date=5 February 2018 }}</ref>

===Line 9B===
At Puerta de Arganda, an island platform was built, so passengers who required to use the southern extension ("line 9B") can move directly across the platform to from the primary route ("line 9A"). This southern extension runs through mostly unpopulated areas connecting the two towns of [[Rivas-Vaciamadrid]] and [[Arganda del Rey]]. The line runs with only two or three car trains at comparatively long intervals through scenic landscape of Spanish desert. [[Rivas Urbanizaciones (Madrid Metro)|Rivas-Urbanizaciones]] and [[Arganda del Rey (Madrid Metro)|Arganda del Rey]] are underground stations with large island platforms, and [[Rivas Futura (Madrid Metro)|Rivas Futura]], [[Rivas Vaciamadrid (Madrid Metro)|Rivas Vaciamadrid]] and [[La Poveda (Madrid Metro)|La Poveda]] are surface stations with side platforms. Given the continuous growth of particularly Rivas-Vaciamadrid, there are many plans for the future of Line 9B. Most concretely, the municipal government intends to construct a new station at Calle José Saramago between Rivas-Urbanizaciones and Rivas Futura<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.diarioderivas.es/parcela-cuarta-estacion-metro-rivas/|title=Rivas cede a la Comunidad una parcela para construir una nueva estación de Metro en la calle de José Saramago|last=González|first=Celia|date=2019-03-28|website=Diario de Rivas|language=es|access-date=2019-09-12}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1UT7ihx5jJupFqNX1nPVeZIY900d09M-2|title=Parcela cedida por Rivas para la construcción de una cuarta estación de Metro|website=Google My Maps|access-date=2019-09-12}}</ref> and to cover a stretch of tracks to remedy the current state of surface segments effectively cutting the city in half.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.diarioderivas.es/cubrimiento-vias-concurso-ideas-rivas-metro/|title=Rivas organizará una consulta ciudadana no vinculante para seleccionar el proyecto que cubrirá las vías del Metro|last=Errejón|first=Miriam|date=2019-09-11|website=Diario de Rivas|language=es|access-date=2019-09-12}}</ref>

==Rolling stock==
Class 5000 and 9000 usually run on Line 9A with occasional class 6000s, and class 6000s usually run on Line 9B.
