The M1 line is the first line of the Warsaw Metro. It is long, has 21 stations and runs from the Kabaty neighborhood in the Ursynów district to the Młociny district in Bielany.
The decision to build it was made in 1982, and a year later the first works in Ursynów began. In 1995, the first section of the route connecting Ursynów and Mokotów with Śródmieście was launched, and the next sections were put into operation in the following years. In 2008, construction of the Bielany section was completed and crossings on the whole line were started. There is also a plan to add two additional stations around the center portion of the metro line.
M1 trains run from approximately 5:00 am to 12:10 am (from Monday to Thursday and Sunday) and from approximately 5:00 am to 3:00 am (Fridays and Saturdays).

Depots
A single depot, Kabaty Technical and Storage Station (, STP Kabaty), is located south of the Kabaty station. This depot is used, among others, for repairing, maintaining, and testing metro trains. As of 2020, the depot itself employed around 500 people. It is situated in the Kabaty neighborhood of the Ursynów district in southern Warsaw, at the terminus of National Education Commission Avenue (Aleja Komisji Edukacji Narodowej), the main thoroughfare of Ursynów. It also serves as the headquarters of the Metro. The station is adjacent to the Kabaty Forest to the south.
The depot was opened on 7 April 1995 as the depot of the M1 metro line. It is connected to the Polish national railway network via Warszawa Okęcie railway station by the unelectrified, single-track spur .
