The EU contribution will be invested in the construction of a section of the new metro line 6 between the station “1 Mai” and the planned “Tokyo” station. It will be connected to existing metro line 4.

The works for metro line 6 are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2019 and will include six new underground metro stations and the purchase of 12 metro train sets with six coaches each.

In the future, metro line 6 is expected to run to the international airport Bucharest-Otopeni.

“This Cohesion Policy investment will concretely improve everyday life for 1.8 million citizens as they will benefit from better transport connections to many destinations in Bucharest," said Commissioner for Regional policy Corina Cretu.
