The massive Bahrain Metro project will be complete in four stages. The first consists of two lines with 20 stations over a distance of 29 kilometres. It is the beginning of the Bahraini government’s ambitions to build a 109-km rail-based urban transportation system. It will include two lines with an estimated combined length of 28.6 km, 20 stops, and two interchanges.
Aradous Energy Generation Company and Taqi Mohammed Albaharana Trading Establishment, two of Bahrain’s largest utility companies, are also involved.
