User:KjESCil/Metro Bratislava

The Bratislava Metro (Slovak Bratislavské metro) was supposed to be built in Bratislava (Slovakia). In 1989, shortly after construction works began, the project came to a halt and has not been pursued since.

According to the metro plans, two lines were proposed. The "blue line" was supposed to reach fromDevínska Nová Ves in the North West of Bratislava through the Volkswagenwerk (Automobilwerke Bratislava at the time) and the city center to the station Rača in the North East. The "red line" was supposed to start in Petržalka in the South, go through the city center where both lines would meet and eventually lead to the airport Letisko Milana Rastislava Štefánika in the East of Bratislava.

Construction works, which began in 1989, ended with the Velvet Revolution in former Czechoslovakia. Afterwards, financial issues prevented the continuation of the metro plans. Until 2003, several attempts at resuming those plans were made, none of which were successful.

Unused remains of the "blue line" can still be found in Bratislava today.
