The Medina Metro or Madinah Metro is a planned three-line metro system for the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia.[1]
Planning
On 4 November 2013 the Saudi cabinet announced that a metro would be built in Madinah within eight years.[2] A committee for the project was to be chaired by the Governor of Medina, Prince Faisal bin Salman.[2]
In March 2015 the Madinah Metro Development Authority (MMDA) awarded French companies Systra (consortium leader) and Egis Group a 12-month contract to carry out feasibility studies and produce preliminary design for the metro.[1] The network is to be built in two phases for opening in 2020s.[1]
