Background

In late 2018 studies began for a proposed Cluj-Napoca Metro,[1] 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.[2]

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.[3]
