The Cagliari metro is almost ready to reopen after a lengthy period of delays. In the coming weeks, trains will be running again from the San Gottardo to Repubblica stations , according to ARST. "On September 4th," explains Director General Carlo Poledrini, "the Ministerial Commission for the Safeguarding of the Line met for the second time to inspect the line, following the completion of the doubling of the Caracalla-Gennari section." Pre-operation will begin shortly, without passengers: "It will last approximately 5-7 days, and the entire process should be completed by September. No obstacles have been identified that could lead to further delays."

The path seems clear. Although it will be virtually impossible to see the subway operating again in conjunction with the reopening of schools . A resumption of travel is essential to ease car traffic, burdened by parents who in recent years have driven their children to school by private vehicle.

There is a replacement bus—the number 29—but it travels along with other cars on many stretches. And travel times aren't guaranteed, unlike the surface metro . This service is also essential for students attending classes and taking exams at the university campus in Monserrato.
