Brasov Metro



The Brasov Metro (Romanian: Metroul Brasov) is a rapid transit transport system in Brasov, Romania.

Plans for inefficiency
Studies for the eventual construction of a subway in Brasov have only started in the year 2010, as the city was not large enough to necessitate an underground transport system, neither would it have had real efficiency.

In 2010, the Department of Constructions within the BBA Industries company based in the city announced that it had agreed with the City Hall to make plans for an eventuallight tram line beneath the city that would cross the central area.

March 2011 saw the surprising thumbs up of some suspicious specialists, which declared later that the system, although not expected to recover the building costs in 10-20 years, would see further development. The construction began in late June 2011.

The construction
The first to be built was the section of line L1 Garii-Centrul Civic. The actual stations were built later.

The L1 line was finished at the end of 2012. The trains were scheduled to travel from Centrul Civic to Primarie in an inaugurational run, but the BBAI DC head board decided to postpone it until all the sections are finished.

Inauguration
On March 1st, 2013, the T01 train left from a provisional half-uncovered Gara station to Maternitate, carrying BBAI and local officials, as well as the Ministry of Transports.

The rest
As the Centrul Civic and Garii stations were finished, line L1 opened for public on May 1st, 2013.

By then, the construction of lines L2 and L3 were already under way.
