M5 is the newest of the five lines of the Bucharest Metro, opened on 15 September 2020. In the first phase (6.87 km (4.3 mi)), it runs from Eroilor to Râul Doamnei, and to Valea Ialomiței, in the Drumul Taberei neighbourhood.

History

In 2011, construction started on the first section of the M5. The expected construction cost was €708.6 million. Opened on 15 September 2020, the first section, Râul Doamnei to Eroilor is around 7 km (4.3 mi) long with 10 stations.

After that, the line will be extended to Iancului, and from there under Iancului Road (Șoseaua Iancului) until it reaches the Pantelimon station of M1.

Rolling stock

Until 2023, when new Alstom Metropolis French trains for this line are meant to arrive, 8 Canadian Bombardier Movia 346 train sets are used, redistributed from M3.
