| Abstract: | Carefully planned mass transport projects are vital to safeguard economic progress and standard of living in countries experiencing rapid population growth. The economic benefits of such infrastructural projects are considerable, with a country typically doubling the amount of money it invests in strategic public mass transport assets, in addition to improved environment and quality of life. If Malta is to become a regional player attracting expertise in key fields like medicine and artificial intelligence, then the national public transport system needs to be efficient, reliable and impeccable, and consist of a multi-mode network. An underground metro system addresses these criteria. |
