Trackless tram proposal to cost €2.8 billion & will be completed by 2027, PN says

Mar 11 2022

Bernard Grech has stated that the Nationalist Party’s trackless tram system proposal will cost up to €2.8 billion and will be completed by 2027.

Addressing a press conference on Friday, the Nationalist Party leader outlined his party’s proposal and likened it to the Labour government’s metro system plans, with the aforementioned system estimated to rack up costs of €6.2 billion by its 2042 completion date. Going into further detail on comparison between the two, Grech said that the trackless tram will cover 48 localities while the metro would only cover 21.

These revelation come in light of Robert Abela’s recent statements that while the PN has presented its electoral manifesto, costings have not been revealed. While the trackless tram proposal only mentions Malta, Grech has stated that the pN does not exclude considering another system for Gozo.

The Popular Party has stated that in the coming legislature, and years to follow if need be, will be committing to working on the rebuilding of a new Teatru Rjal on the original plans drafted by architect Edward Middleton Barry.

This was announced during a press conference addressed by party leader Paul Salomone. Salomone stated that as funds are allocated to other projects, similar funds must be dedicated to such a project.He stated that the theatre was never rebuilt because there never was a political push.

The party leader stated that there are other projects related to Malta’s cultural heritage which deserve attention such as Fort Campbell, Birkirkara’s Stazzjon garden, Fort Delimara and others.
