Timisoara is getting ready to become the second Romanian city to have a subway system. Nicolae Robu, Timisoara’s mayor, said on Tuesday that his city’s first subway line will have a length of 8 kilometers, which will connect downtown to the airport, writes businessmgazin.ro.

The project will be included in the budget plan for 2014-2020, however the mayor did not offer any details about they will finance the project.

“This is the solution – the railway tracks will go underground and in this way we will connect a few key-spots of our city: Gara de Nord, the mall, Gara de Est, the airport, all of them can be connected and we can achieve it in a short while with a limited budget. They will use the mole-equipment which are used for digging under mountains, under seas, wherever you want”, Robu explained.
