In particular, information was reported on plans to continue the second stage of the elevated metro ring with a connection to the Sergeli branch, the introduction of modern construction methods, the modernization of metro rolling stock, and further increase passenger traffic.
As you know, it is planned to build five stations by the end of this year as part of the second phase of the project, and two more stations next year, for the Navruz holiday. This line will cover about 250 thousand residents of 62 mahallas with metro services.
