Detailed preparations are advancing for the first phase of Bahrain’s long-planned Metro project, with route planning now the central focus as authorities move towards delivery of a modern public transport system for the kingdom.
Responding to a parliamentary question, the Transportation and Telecommunications Ministry confirmed that Phase I routes are being developed in line with the approved master plan, marking a key technical milestone for the project.
Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Dr Shaikh Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Khalifa described the metro as a strategic national investment that will reshape urban mobility.
He commented that the Bahrain Metro is designed to deliver a modern, efficient and sustainable transport system, with detailed planning and integrated procedures underway to ensure optimal preparation of the first-phase routes in coordination with all relevant entities.
