The main forms of transport within Donetsk are: {{ill|Trams in Donetsk|lt=trams|uk|Донецький трамвай|ru|Донецкий трамвай}}, electric [[trolley bus]]es, buses and [[marshrutka]]s (private [[minibus|minibusses]]). The city's public transport system is controlled by the united ''Dongorpastrans'' [[municipal]] company. The city has 12 tram lines (~130&nbsp;km), 17 trolley bus lines (~188&nbsp;km), and about 115 bus lines.<ref name="transport">{{cite web|url=http://www.partner.donetsk.ua/transport/|script-title=ru:Транспорт|trans-title=Transport|work=Partner-Portal|access-date=11 May 2007|language=ru|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070510133417/http://www.partner.donetsk.ua/transport/|archive-date=10 May 2007}}</ref> Both the tram and trolley bus systems in the city are served by 2 [[Bus station|depots]] each.<ref name="transport" /> Another method of transport within the city is [[taxicab]] service, of which there are 32 in Donetsk.
 
The city also contains autostations located within the city and its suburbs: autostation ''Yuzhny'' (South), which serves mainly transport lines to the south, hence its name; autostation ''Tsentr'' (Centre), which serves transport in the direction of [[Marinka, Ukraine|Marinka]] and [[Vuhledar]] as well as intercity transport; the autostation ''Krytyi rynok'' (Indoor market), which serves mainly transport in the north and east directions; and the autostation ''Putilovsky'', which serves mainly the north and northwest transport directions.
 
The construction of the [[Donetsk Metro|metro]] system in the city, begun in 1992, was recently abandoned in 2012 due to the lack of funding. No lines or stations have been finished.<ref>{{cite news |script-title=uk:У Донецьку припиняють зводити метро|trans-title=Metro construction in Donetsk is stopping|work=1tv.com.ua |date=18 January 2012|language=uk|url=http://1tv.com.ua/uk/news/2012/01/18/14506|url-status=unfit|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130502190006/http://1tv.com.ua/uk/news/2012/01/18/14506|archive-date=2 May 2013}}</ref>
