Kuwait City desperately needs a transport system to get in and out of it with all the new buildings coming up within the next five years, as the city simply cannot accommodate anymore vehicle traffic. It will be difficult to change the mentality of the people here and get them to leave their cars behind and start riding the metro, but if the government is serious about this metro then they have to impose some measures that will force people to use it. Like cajie mentioned above, making parking very expensive in the major urban/commercial centres (the city, Salmiya, Hawalli) is one option. But even more importantly, they should start imposing a daily congestion charge on all vehicles wanting to enter Kuwait City – and definitely charge more on larger vehicles (SUVs) that take up more room and have greater carbon emissions. That way you kill two birds with one stone – minimize traffic and reduce our carbon footprint. That is the ideal solution – like what they’ve done in London. But unless they come up with proper and efficient policies and plans to go along with the building of the metro, then the whole project will be useless.

While I’m trying to think positive and be optimistic about the Kuwait metro, history tells us that this, like everything else, will end up being more of a failure than a success.
