i think it is a jagged pill to swallow for some, the contrast between the modern and extreme poverty. but teleferico is a part of the solution to ease the life of the working class, who often had to spend a substantial part of their income on public transport. with a better transport solution they can designate this money to cover other needs.
I am happy for the peeps and the fare is fantastic. I talk to a couple of foreigners (USA) and the mentality is ……. well they should have spent the money to fix the electric problem instead. I go yeah, 24/7 electric is really going to help the poorest of the poor.
Say what you like but la rep dom did wonders installing the Metro and now the Teleferico………. kudos
