Don’t think this would get too much support from Danes considering the social problems on the other side of the pond.
Isn’t there already trains which run across the bridge? I remember there being dedicated trains for this crossing.
When I visited Stockholm by train, I had to use this service to get to Sweden and then hop on a night train to Stockholm.
There is already train going from Malmo to main station in Kopenhagen in about 40 minutes. Wouldn’t it be cheaper and better to have a separate line for it so it moves faster in city center, cutting commute time?
The danes are slowly trying to reclaim Skåne from sweden.
In the title, Malmö has been written à la Danish. 😉 (Malmø)
Easier for the underage hitmen to travel between countries!
That looks like a catastrophic waste of money given the perfectly good existing crossing which I suspect could handle many more trains than it currently does
Forstår man da godt. København er en fed by. Om det giver mening for DK er så en anden sag…
I wonder if the tunnel toll would be higher or lower than the bridge
On top of the existing road and train bridge and the proposed separate metro line tunnel(?), they also need — and I am surprised this isn’t a top priority — a separate bike line bridge/tunnel as well!
But in all seriousness, proposed by WHOM? Looks like a work of some wannabe amateur association, hard to imagine serious authorities would suggest a project like this worth several billions of Euro just to gain some 20 minutes on commute.
isnt it some very old plan since current Copenhagen metro network seems much bigger that this?
A lot of misinformation in these comments… This would be great for the region. The bridge/tunnel is operating way, way over capacity in order to handle the huge amount of trains crossing the strait. This would clear up one of the worst bottlenecks for southern Swedens train traffic.
This is amazing!!! Malmø is a beautiful city
Where in Malmö are the new metro stations going to end up and why so close together?
Wouldn’t it be the first international metro line in the world?
Just unite the cities at this point, its essentially one metro area anyways
The metro line should be extended so it includes Lund.
Lund has an important university so it would be a good to have quick connection to Copenhagen so it is easier for students and researchers to travel between the cities.
Lund is also densely populated so it should work well with a few metro stations.
Btw do Malmø resident consider themself as Danes?
I wonder if that would mean using the automated metro trains the Copenhagen metro system relies on? Because that’s a 22 km long tunnel and doing that using a train with no personnel on it (in a tunnel, underwater) seems a bit, well, risky? Imagine that train stops halfway between Denmark and Sweden and there’s no staff on board to re-assure people or (in the worst case) evacuate passengers. I htink the Copenhagen metro generally functions really well, but there are sometimes stoppages on the line and you do often get stuck in a tunnel.
Gangs in Malmo will lose this.
The trains in the region are so crowded. I think about just getting a car to avoid it all.
I mean, that’s an underground train, not a metro. A metro is specifically an underground train system in a city, which Malmö does not have.
