{{M4 Line}}<br />
'''M4''' is one of the five lines of the [[Bucharest Metro]]. It is currently {{convert|7.44|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} long and runs from [[Bucharest North railway station|Gara de Nord]] to [[Străulești metro station|Străulești]], following the Griviței and Bucureștii Noi avenues.<ref name="Metrorex">{{Cite web|url=http://www.metrorex.ro/Resurse/RaportActivitate/METROREX%20rom%202018.pdf|title=Metrorex (2018).

<br />
== History ==<br />
Construction of the line started in September 1989, shortly before the [[Romanian Revolution]]. The tunnels were built up to where Parc Bazilescu is today. Construction was abandoned afterwards and was resumed later on in the 90's. The first section of the M4 opened on 1 March 2000 from [[Gara de Nord metro station|Gara de Nord]] to [[1 Mai metro station|1 Mai]]. <br />
After many years of delays the next section to [[Parc Bazilescu metro station|Parc Bazilescu]] was finally opened on 1 July 2011. Parc Bazilescu was not in the initial plan and was only built to open the section quicker.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Prezentare generală M4|url = http://forum.construim-romania.ro/showthread.php?tid=81|website = forum.construim-romania.ro|access-date = 2015-09-04}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2013, construction started on the final {{convert|1.6|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} section of the M4 to Străulești, along with Străulești depot. On 3 September 2015 tunneling work was completed.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Progrese la Magistrala 4: Cand vom avea metrou pana la Lacul Străulești|url = http://www.ziare.com/stiri/metrou/progrese-la-magistrala-4-cand-vom-avea-metrou-pana-la-lacul-straulesti-1380930|access-date = 2015-09-04}}</ref> The service was extended with two more stations, Laminorului and Străulești, which opened on 31 March 2017.<ref>{{cite news |author= Antena 3 |url=https://www.antena3.ro/economic/auto/metrorex-a-deschis-circulatia-in-statiile-de-metrou-laminorului-si-straulesti-406265.html |title=Metrorex a deschis circulaţia în staţiile de metrou Laminorului şi Străuleşti |newspaper=Antena 3 |language=ro |trans-title=Metrorex has opened traffic in the metro stations Laminorului and Străuleşti |access-date=2017-03-31}}</ref><br />

Despite being one of the newest lines on the network, the M4 runs old [[Astra IVA]] trains. <br />
<br />
The Astra IVA trains will soon be retired from the Bucharest Metro and replaced with [[Alstom Metropolis]] trains.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.economica.net/primul-tren-de-metrou-alstom_742353.html | title=Primul tren de metrou Alstom pentru M5 a ajuns la București.
