The Medina Metro[a] is a proposed three-line metro system planned for the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia.[1]
History
On 4 November 2013, the Saudi Council of Ministers announced plans to build a metro in Medina within eight years.[2] A committee to oversee the project was chaired by the then Governor of Medina Province, Faisal bin Salman.
In March 2015, the Medina Development Authority awarded a 12‑month contract to the French companies Systra (consortium leader) and Egis Group to conduct feasibility studies and produce a preliminary design for the network.[3]
As of the most recent public information, construction has not yet begun, and the project remains in the planning and design phase.
