Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 5,204 articles in the main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is Content in this edit is translated from the existing Spanish Wikipedia article at [[:es:Metro de Quito]]; see its history for attribution.

The Quito Metro (Spanish: Metro de Quito), abbreviated as MDQ, is an underground rail mass transit system consisting of a single line that is operational since December 2022[citation needed] in Quito, the capital of Ecuador.
Construction on the main south and north stations began in December 2012. Construction of the metro line began in January 2016.[4] The metro was projected to be operational in August 2020,[5] but has been delayed to the third trimester of 2022. Started operation in December 2022[6]
System
The system's first line, which will include 15 stations, extends from Quitumbe (which is to the south of the city) to El Labrador (which is to the north of the city). The 15 stations on this line are:[7]
Quitumbe
Morán Valverde
Solanda
Cardenal de la Torre
El Recreo
La Magdalena
San Francisco
La Alameda
El Ejido
Universidad Central
La Pradera
La Carolina
Iñaquito
Jipijapa
El Labrador
Only one of the stations, the one in Plaza de San Francisco (by the San Francisco monastery), will be placed in the historic center of Quito (declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978).[4] Due to archaeological remains found at the proposed site of the San Francisco Station in late 2016, the station will be moved two blocks further south to Plaza 24th of May, and the remains will not be disturbed further.
The design of Line 1 allows for a further five stations intermediate to those initially constructed to be built if demand warrants, and for a potential 5 km extension northwards to the Ofelia bus terminal.
