Proposed Kuwait metro to stretch over 160 kms, host 68 stations

The first phase of the metro project - covering areas in several governorates, and including nine stations within Kuwait's business center - includes a railway stretching 50 kilometers from Kuwait City to Kuwait International Airport, with 27 new stations, 30 percent of which will be underground.. The project is primarily being built to facilitate added means of transport within urban spaces, expected to start from the business center in downtown Kuwait City, and head out in different directions, the statement said..
