While trams began to run across the Danube River over the Old Bridge to Bratislava’s Petržalka in the spring of 2016, the plan to extend the line deeper into the borough is only now becoming more tangible. Bratislava city council finally announced a public tender for the construction of the extension last week.
Plans for tram line in Petržalka
“The tram will secure public transport in Petržalka more directly than buses, thanks to the fact that it will be faster,” said Katarína Rajčanová, spokesperson of Bratislava, as cited in the press release. “It will allow passengers to get from the end of the Lúky district to Šafárikovo Square in about 10 minutes.”
