is underdeveloped,
The solution.
More trains, lines and stations are needed, with high-capacity parking spaces, conected to evry exit to the surface.
Benefits
- fast & efficient - best way to move around Bucharest
- independent of the traffic above it or other outter factor
- cleaner and more secure than other public means of transport
- the ticket system & barriers makes it difficult to use it "free" therefore there is no risk of getting a high fine
Disadvantages:
- on some certain hours it tends to be overcrowded ( 8 in the morining at Victoriei)
- for some areas like Obor to Pantelimon it does not fallow a straight rute thus it does not travel to the destination in the fastest time possible
- some locations need an exchange which means more time to be wasted
- too few station - a further walking/or taking other public transport is needed for reaching the final destination
- the maps aren`t shown in the station - only in the vehicle so you can`t calculate your rute until you get in
Extended version:
Bucharest is known to be the only city in Romania which as of 2009
has an underground railway system, comprising both the Bucharest
Metro and the light rail system Regia Autonomă de Transport
Bucureşti. Although construction was planned to begin in 1941, due
to geo-political factors, the Bucharest Metro was only opened in
1979. Now it is one of the most accessed systems of the Bucharest
public transport network with an average of 800,000 passengers
during the workweek. In total, the network is 67 km long and has 49
stations.
Some proposals have been made about building a metro networks in
some of the other largest cities in the country, such as one in Cluj-
Napoca, and in Braşov.

The subway network is considered the fasted and the easiest way to
get around in Bucharest at this moment.
The metro is not affected by the upper urban traffic and its rush
hours, nor any other outside factors. Furthermore due to its secured
acces, we can claim there is a slight higher level of safety within the
Metrorex transport than with the RATB above.
However our research shows that we have some inconvenients
as well: on one side we have the fact that the Metrorex network
covers a small surface of the city. In other words the choices are
limited: you can`t get quite anywhere in Bucharest using the subway
- most of the times it`s needed further walking or taking the bus/
tramway to reach your destination. On the other hand the process of
its construction that takes a lot of time and money (That Romania
barely has at the moment)
Moreover another factor is that the subway map as shown in the
image does not use the principle “shortest way from point A to
point B“. For example if you want to go from Obor to Pantelimon
the metro ll go all the way around to Dristor. So despite it`s not
affected by traffic there is still some time wasting in the process of
transportation.
Nonetheless the subway won`t be spared by the rush hours either.
On morning hours like 7 to 9, for example, its capacity is still overwhelmed
