In the 80's a 3-lines-network to serve the Donetsk-Makiivka agglomeration was designed. Currently construction of the first section of the red line is under way: Politekhnichny Instytut, Livoberezhna, Mushketivs'ka, Chervone Mistechko, Chumakovs'ka and Proletars'ka; total length is 9.67 km, with 6.12 km in deep and 3.55 km in shallow tunnels. Station names may not be definitive. Here is the English transliteration of the proposed Ukrainian names:

Red Line (from north to south):

Zhovtneva (October's) - Vokzal'na (Main railway station of Donetsk) - Vetkivs'ki stavky (Vetka pools) - Shahtars'ka (Miner's) - DonUGI (Donetsk Coal Institute) - Bily Lebid' (White Swan, interchange - green line) - Ploshcha Lenina (Lenin Sq.) - Politekhnichny Instytut (Technical Institute, interchange - blue line) - Livoberezhna (Left bank's) - Mushketivs'ka (close to commuter station Mushketove) - Chervone Mistechko (Red town)- Chumakovs'ka - Proletars'ka - Shidna (Eastern) - Dos'ka storona (Don's side);
