M6 is a planned metro line of the Bucharest Metro. The M6 Line will connect Bucharest North railway station (Gara de Nord) to Henri Coandă International Airport (Aeroport Otopeni). The line is expected to be completed by 2025–2030.[1][2] As of 2019, only the section from 1 Mai to Tokyo has secured funding.[3] The second section from Tokyo to the airport will be rendered separately at a later date.
