Residents of Voluntari, Tunari, Dimieni, Cosmopolis, Balotești and nearby villages in northern Ilfov have launched a petition demanding that the Bucharest metro network be extended to the area. They point to heavy traffic, long commute times, and safety hazards caused by construction on DN1 and the Otopeni line. Many commuters have moved into the capital or rely on private cars, leading to congestion and lost productivity. The petition calls for updated studies, priority investments, better access to existing stations such as Pipera, and clear public timelines. Authorities are urged to coordinate agencies and communicate progress transparently.
