The airports are open gates to the world, so both objectives visited are representative for the local, regional and international character of the future M6 Metro Line, but also for the strategic partnership between Romania and Japan.
Locally, the future M6 Metro Line will increase the mobility of the population of the Bucharest metropolitan area and the city of Otopeni, regionally it integrates regional air, rail and road transport flows, being the first direct rapid link between Gara de Nord and Otopeni Airport, and internationally it represents a main intermodal connection hub in the trans-European transport network designed to meet the EU objectives in terms of sustainable mobility.
We thank our Japanese partners for their continued support for the development of metro infrastructure!
It is located in the northern part of the Bucharest – Constanta railroad, in front of Băiculești Street.
