The new station would extend the M2 mainline past Berceni station, in the city’s southern area. The station will have only one line initially and will be later expanded with a second, while the average wait time will be of 15 minutes.
According to the protocol, the station could be ready in 2021, but neither Bucharest Sector 4 Mayor Daniel Baluta, nor Metrorex director Dumitru Sodolescu disclosed the estimated costs of the extension. The mayor did, however, announce that a feasibility study worth RON1.3 million is currently being executed.
All of the construction and infrastructure costs necessary for the station will be ensured by the Sector 4 Town Hall.
The town hall previously announced its intention to also build a parking lot near the station, so that those who transit to Bucharest by car would be able to park them and use the subway system.
