There was free-of-charge services from 11:00 to 13:00 for 3 months starting from Saturday 29 August 2015.[2] The first phase was 7 km long and had 6 stations from El Goli Station to Ostad Shahriar Station.

Along the way it will connect major passenger nodes such as North Terminal, central park, Bazaar District, Stadium military medical, Academia centers, and Yadgar-e-Emam Stadium.

This line connects the other three lines.
