According to the Associated Press on Yahoo News:
"Iraq plans to build a subway in Baghdad to help cut pollution and ease traffic on the city’s chronically clogged streets.
"The subway is the first in Baghdad and will have two lines. One would run 11 miles from Shiite-dominated Sadr City in the east to the predominantly Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah in northern Baghdad. The second line would be cover 13 miles and link the mixed neighborhoods of central Baghdad to the primarily Sunni western suburbs. Both lines will have 20 stations.
"Baghdad Mayor Sabir al-Issawi said in statement released Monday that Iraq’s Cabinet has earmarked $3 billion for the project. Al-Issawi did not provide a timeline for the project."
