New underground stations will be built from Samgori to Lilo, – Prime Minister of Georgia, Mamuka Bakhtadze made this statement at the presentation of  First Phase of the action plan of Green Policy: Eco-Friendly Transport.

“Today we are announcing the most important project initiative. We will be using the bypass railway infrastructure to build new underground stations from Samgori to Lilo. It is the most important project, which will spark additional life to our capital city. At the same time, you may well agree that Tbilisi agglomeration is developing also and this underground line will potentially help us in reaching out to the city of Rustavi with the relevant infrastructure to be linked with Tbilisi underground transportation system. This is indeed a project initiative of historic significance and I wish to once again stress that we are doing it not only because electric cars are becoming trendy and more popular internationally. Yes, their popularity grows day by day, but the idea has a special advantage for our economy: it means that more electric cars will be imported to Georgia and those of internal combustion will be substituted with greater speed to generate more wealth in the country. It also means that our citizens will own assets of greater value. It will also lead to the development of a higher sending segment in tourism of Georgia and national economy will ultimately get more capitalized”, – Prime Minister said.
