The Cluj-Napoca Metro is a planned rapid transit system for the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania. If built, it will become Romania's second mass transit network after the Bucharest Metro. The system will be a light metro type with a transport capacity of around 15,200–21,600 passengers per hour per direction.[1]
Background[]
In late 2018 studies began for a proposed Cluj-Napoca Metro,[2] with mayor Emil Boc confirming "I hope we'll be able to launch the call for the tenders of the pre-feasibility study in the first 10 days of November. Investments higher than EUR 75 million need pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, according to the law."
Boc signed contracts in April 2020 for the feasibility study of the metro along with a suburban rail network.[3]
Route[]
The initial 16 km (9.9 mi) segment of the metro will follow an east-west axis from Florești situated in the western area of the city to the Aurel Vlaicu /Pod IRA area, via future regional hospital, VIVO! Cluj and Mănăștur areas, and the city centre.[4]
The complete route Florești - Piața Unirii - Piața Mărăști - Muncii / Europa Unită - Depou Sopor will have a total length of 21 km (13.0 mi) and 19 underground stations. As of December 2021, the costs of the investment are estimated at over 2 billion euros, with an estimated project implementation time of about 10 years.[5]
