The plan identified the need to construct a metro network of three lines. The National Authority for Tunnels (NAT) was established in 1933 as pan of the Ministry of Transport to prepare feasibility studies and construct Metro lines and Road Tunnels. The nat's followed the design/build concept: approach with a view to offering quick remedy needed to solve the acute transportation problem. This was done in co-operation with local and international renowned consultants and contractors'
