Kraków seeks state support for metro and regional rail expansion
Kraków officials and the Parliamentary Transport Team are discussing the development of a unified public transport system, focusing on metro construction and regional rail expansion. The city is currently conducting geological studies and preparing pre-design documentation for the metro project. To accelerate progress, officials are requesting simplified legal procedures regarding environmental and heritage protections.
Efforts to improve regional rail include the development of a Railway Pact, intended to coordinate funding and create a horizontal timetable across the Małopolska region. The region has also secured funding through the Phoenix project, which will provide seven new trains for the Kraków agglomeration. Additionally, a decision has been reached to integrate the tram line with the Kraków-Piastów railway station.
