I recall the loan to purchase the rolling stock was only approved a month (or months) or so back.
Danilo is what happened.
and you simpletons continue voting these neer'do wells back into office. Got no sympathy for ya.
..............the French are providing the new rolling stock and they have not arrived ........
Danilo barely finished the new bridge (the largest cable-stayed bridge in the Caribbean, that's how you know this project was created by Leonel... the previous largest cable-stayed bridge in the Caribbean is the Mauricio Báez Bridge near San Pedro, guess who built that too? The widest cable-stayed bridge in the Caribbean is the Juan Bosch Bridge in SD, guess who built that as well... Notice the pattern?)This makes no sense at all. That project must have been close to 90% complete last year and nothing??????
Any word or the teleferico or overhead cable cars whatever they call them?
Time for the SD este residents to burn some tires if you ask me............ oh well, no one asked me so it will be the usual shrug their shoulders when asked what's going on.
The entire 2nd line was suppose to be finished, the entire line that will connect the Juan Pablo Duarte station (at Centro Olimpico) with Parque Colon in the Colonial Zone was suppose to be done by now, and the 3rd line should had been partially built by now (this line will be under the 27 de Febrero / Las Americas corridor.)That being the reason I can see why the expansion has not opened.
Anyone who has actually used the Metro would know there is no way the Metro can handle additional riders. Several years ago I used to enjoy riding the Metro during rush hour smiling knowing everyone above ground was stuck in traffic. It has gotten to the point I now try to avoid the Metro during rush hours due to overcrowding. I have seen cars pull into the station and leave people on the platform because there was just not room for them to get in.
It still is a downright shame those stations past Eduardo Brito just sit idle...........SMH
T I have seen cars pull into the station and leave people on the platform because there was just not room for them to get in.

On the London Underground in rush hour you could wait for 4 or 5 trains to pass before you could squeeze into one - at least that was the case 17 years ago - am sure is the same now.

The first phase was finished mostly because the money was already flowing, but then Danilo decided to use the money on other things.
Keep in mind that Danilo was originally against the Metro project and he even said it on the inauguration of the second phase that it was the very first time he had been to the Metro. That was last year and the Metro (the first line) was inaugurated almost a decade ago. That says quite something about this man and his opinion of this project.
On the day he inaugurated the second phase of the 2nd line, he said he was impressed with the project, but I guess he was not impressed enough to keep the construction momentum going.
