Firea made the announcement during a seminar on sustainable development in the Bucharest – Ilfov county region, organized by the Government.
The mayor also presented other projects aimed at improving the traffic, such as extending the Domnesti passage or building a new railway station. She argued that the railway lines within Bucharest have not been used in 30 years, while urban railway transport is widely used in Europe’s big cities.
Firea also mentioned the construction of parking lots in the city’s outskirts, so as to help those living outside Bucharest, and of a park and ride facility for commuters, where they could safely leave their car and go downtown by public transport.
She also reiterated the City Hall’s wish to be granted the management of the city’s subway system.
