Stockholm's metro is well known for its artwork and decoration. Several of the stations (especially on the Blue line) are left with the bedrock exposed, crude and unfinished.

The metro system is owned by the Stockholm County Council, which has contracted the operation to Connex. The Stockholm Metro was the site of distribution for the first edition of Metro, now a world-wide chain of free newspapers.
