“Thanks to the European Union, Bucharest will have a modern subway network. This will have a positive impact on the city’s air quality, local companies, tourism and denizens of those city areas along the new underground transport mainline,” said EU Commissioner for regional policy Corina Cretu.
Once works are completed, the new subway line will link the west of the city from Raul Doamnei station to Eroilor station in the city center. The line will be 7 kilometers long, with 10 stops and one depot.
The subway line extension will benefit over 64,000 citizens in Bucharest, allowing them to get from the west to the city center in less than 15 minutes. Works are scheduled to be completed in June 2018.
