President: 6 more metro stations will open in Azerbaijan until 2015

Baku, July 14 (AzerTAc). Azerbaijan`s President has said six more metro stations would open in the country until 2015.
President Ilham Aliyev spoke at a Cabinet meeting to discuss outcomes of the country`s socio-economic development in the first half of 2011.
“Metro construction occupies a particular place among important infrastructure projects. Huge projects are implemented in this area. Three new stations were inaugurated in the last three years.”
“This is a very positive indicator. Metro is the cheapest and most convenient means of transport. We are doing this for people`s comfort. Azerbaijan has the cheapest metro tariffs in the world – 15 copecks. No country in the CIS or any other place in the world has such low tariffs for metro,” said the Azerbaijani leader.
President Aliyev noted: “The metro construction is underway in Azerbaijan, the tariffs area stable. And the launch of 3 stations in three years means that we have enough resources.”
“We have purchased a world-class tunnel digging equipment, and this will allow us to speed up what we are doing,” he added.
