Thessaloniki gets ready for its metro launch in November
The underground rapid transit lines have been under construction for almost two decades due to various project delays
The city officials announced that the start of the works is planned for 2028
Krakow will be the second city in Poland to have its own metro network, after the capital Poland. The local government of the country’s second-largest city announced news that construction of the underground mobility system would begin in 2028 and that the first step was the creation of a special metro council in the local administration.
“For years, the people of Krakow have expressed their will for a metro to be built in the city,” said Mayor Aleksander Miszalski, who was elected earlier this year, as quoted by Notes from Poland. “Starting the construction of the metro is the most important commitment I made to residents during the election campaign.”
Miszalski also announced that he is “actively considering potential sources of funding” for the project, including state and municipal funds, private investors, as well as funding from the European Union.
Underground rapid transit mobility is a fairly recent phenomenon in Poland given that the first and, so far, only metro network in the country was launched in the capital Warsaw in 1995. It currently consists of two lines with plans for a third one and expansion of the previous lines until 2050.
Reportedly, Krakow officials will collaborate with the company that works on the capital city metro. The plan is to have the first line of the Krakow metro run from east to west, passing through the historic core.
But first things first. And the first things involve administrative matters before the groundbreaking. That’s why the mayor of Krakow announced the creation of an expert council that will advise on the project.
The council will have the task of compiling an environmental impact assessment report, an analysis of the passenger traffic flow, and an economic analysis by the end of this year.
