Prime Minister Robert Abela resuscitated the proposal for a Malta Metro today, but said that such a project would require broad political consensus.Interviewed on ONE TV, Abela said that studies on a possible metro are still ongoing.“It is a project that would require strong, infrastructural investment over several years and a number of legislatures,” he said. “I believe that there should be political convergence on the best way forward – such as whether we should go for a metro or a tram.” View this post on InstagramA post shared by Lovin Malta (@lovinmalta)“The experts are telling us what they’re telling us. I don’t think we should try to score partisan political points but rather we should sit around a table and take a decision on the mass transport system of the future.”Plans for a Malta Metro were launched in 2021, a few months before the 2022 general election.The plan, drafted by engineering firm Arup, proposed a a three-line underground metro system with 25 stations around Malta. It was estimated to cost €6.2 billion and take 15-20 years to build.However, there has been barely any visible progress on this proposed project since then.Video: ONE TV•
