Detailed preparations are underway for the first phase of Bahrain’s long-awaited Metro project, which is expected to transform public transport, ease congestion and reshape urban mobility across the kingdom.
Responding to a parliamentary question from MP Lulwa Al Romaihi, the Transportation and Telecommunications Ministry confirmed that work is currently focused on preparing the routes for Phase One, in line with the approved master plan.
Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Dr Shaikh Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Khalifa said the project represents a strategic investment in Bahrain’s transport infrastructure.
“The Bahrain Metro is a cornerstone project aimed at providing a modern, efficient and sustainable public transport system,” the minister said.
“We are working through detailed planning and integrated procedures to ensure the optimal preparation of the first-phase routes, in co-ordination with all concerned entities.”
According to the ministry, Phase One will consist of two main metro lines designed to serve key residential, commercial and economic hubs.
