How confident can I be in this system that it runs on time? I know there are regular power shortages, does this effect the train? I know it can be typically hectic in any city when using the underground, is this any different, meaning does it get terribly busy? Is it a safe mode of transport to use on a 9to5 (undergrounds all over the world are haunts for criminals, any different in santo Domingo?). How much is it typically? (I don't need exact priced, just is it expensive and worth driving into town, or cheap). And where are the best online maps that will give me the best idea of where exactly these stops are around the city, different lines, change overs etc and specifically where they are beside significant roads, landmarks, zones etc (I found a couple of maps but it is unclear what is where as there is no key for the symbols, and I don't think the 'M' does represent the metro as there are so many of them).
