Santiago Metro Line 1 is the oldest of the five existing lines that make up the Santiago Metro network. It has a total of 27 stations along its 19.3 kilometre (11 mile) length, constructed almost entirely underground, and is located primarily along the axis formed by the Avenida Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins (Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins Avenue, also known as the “Alameda”), Providencia Avenue and Apoquindo Avenue.

In 2015, Line 1 accounted for 39.5% of all trips made on the metro system with a daily ridership of 705,200, making it the busiest line in the system.

It currently connects with three of the four other lines – with Line 2 at Los Héroes station, with Line 4 at Tobalaba station and with Line 5 at both San Pablo station and Baquedano station. There are plans for connections with the future Line 3 at Universidad de Chile station, the future Line 6 at Los Leones and the future Line 7 at Baquedano and Salvador. Its distinctive colour on the network map is red.

The line was inaugurated on September 15, 1975, with an initial 8.3 km of track running from San Pablo station to La Moneda station. In 1977, the line was extended 3.2 km to the east to Salvador station. Then, in 1980, seven more stations opened to the east between Salvador and Escuela Militar. On January 7, 2010, three final stations opened to the east of Escuela Militar: Manquehue, Hernando de Magallanes and Los Dominicos.
