Bordeaux already has a tram line (Image: Getty ) The French city of Bordeaux 's ambitious plan to build a metro by 2040 has hit the buffers, with Mayor Pierre Hurmic expressing grave doubts about the project's feasibility and financial viability. Despite a major study commissioned by Bordeaux Métropole in 2023 to explore the technical and financial aspects of the metro, the ecologist mayor is already questioning the "out-of-reach investments" required for this colossal project. The proposed metro, intended to bolster the city's public transport network and alleviate future congestion, is estimated to cost 3.
3 billion euros (£2.7 billion). This sum is equivalent to the total amount the city has invested in transport infrastructure from 2020 to 2026.
