Rapid Transport Network Construction Project
The prject involves construction of a rapid transport network with a total route distance of 184 kilometers, including light rail (LRT), a monorail, tram and bus rapid transport (BRT) system in Bahrain. The system will be divided into routes, each denoted by a colour. - The Red Line light rail will start at the airport and run through Muharraq, Manama, past Bahrain Mall to Isa Town, then to Riffa, Qatar-Bahrain Friendship Causeway, Durrat al Bahrain and the Hawar Islands. - The Green Line will be a tramway from Juffair to Manama, then past the Pearl Roundabout, Seef District, Bahrain Mall, Jidhafs and Budaiya. - The Brown Line will be light rail, running from Manama to Jidhafs, Salmabad, Hamad Town, Bahrain University and Bahrain International Circuit. - The Blue Line is to be a monorail connecting Juffair, Al Fateh Highway, Shaikh Isa Bin Salman Causeway and Northern Town off the Budaiya Coast - The Purple Line bus route will begin at Bahrain University, Sakhir and run through Hamad Town, Riffa and Sitra before ending in Manama - The Orange Line bus route will begin from Hidd, pass along the Shaikh Hamad Highway, Bahrain International Airport, King Faisal Highway and Diyar Al Muharraq. • First phase consist of 13-kilometre light rail line from Bahrain Mall to the international airport and an 11-kilometre tram line from the Mall to Juffair.
