Today is the inauguration of the teleferico:
The Santo Domingo Cable Car is inaugurated today
Santo Domingo
It will be today at 4:00 in the afternoon when the authorities will leave in operation the Cable Car of Santo Domingo, work that has been developed among the displeasure of dozens of families that they say have been affected by the construction of the transportation system and have not been relocated.
The event will be held at the Charles de Gaulle station, located at the intersection of President Jacobo Majluta Avenue and La Victoria Highway, in Sabana Perdida, Santo Domingo Norte.
Many of the negotiations with the residents of the areas where the different cable car stations were built have not yet been carried out, a situation that has created great discontent among the residents.
The stations that make up the cable car are Gualey, Los Tres Brazos, Sabana Perdida and Charles de Gaulle, and despite the fact that for today all should be in operation, until yesterday the Gualey, was late.
On February 23 President Danilo Medina tested the Santo Domingo Cable Car, and during the tour highlighted that the work will provide economic relief for thousands of Dominican families, who in the future will only have to pay a fare to travel to study centers and of job.
Medina said that people who previously paid for up to three concho cars will now only have to do it for one, since the Santo Domingo Cableway will connect with the Santo Domingo Metro, and both services will be offered only for a price of RD $ 20 per trip. .
Complaints from community
The president of the Dominican Foundation Love for the Elderly and Children, Franklin Tamayo, reported last week that in the case of Los Tres Brazos, they promised the relocation of the merchants who were evicted to make way for the Cable Car station , the improvement of the houses impacted by this passenger transport system, the construction of a communal center and the extension of President Hugo Chávez avenue, former Venezuela, among others.
On the situation, the authorities said that only 3 houses in Gualey and other problems detected with the mayors of the municipalities are pending, but they never promised those works to those neighborhoods.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Milkeya Burgos asked for the termination of her home, since a month ago they evicted her to improve her and even she and her family are on the street, without a roof to live on.
The Cable Car will impact some 400,000 residents of the neighborhoods of Gualey, Los Tres Brazos and Sabana Perdida. For two weeks now, Public Works has been fixing the streets near the construction site.

Santo Domingo is replicating the experience of other Latin American cities that successfully tried cable cars as a way to serve the poor a mean to move faster to their work places from home and viceversa, like Medellin in Colombia and La Paz in Bolivia...
Metrocable here in Medellin is excellent!
Actually, the Metro in general here in Medellin is excellent.
Modern, cheap, clean and reliable.

Skylift over Ozama River is open
The Santo Domingo Teleferico was inaugurated on Tuesday, 22 May 2018 at 4 pm by President Danilo Medina who rode to the Gualey station for the ceremony.
The Teleferico stations are Gualey, Los Tres Brazos, Sabana Perdida and Charles de Gaulle. Over a path of five kilometers, the skylift connects the municipalities of Santo Domingo north and Santo Domingo East with the National District. The stations are located from the “Puente de la 17” in western Santo Domingo to Av. Charles de Gaule in eastern Santo Domingo.
The skylift will serve a population of 287,000 people when facilitating their commute from east to west Santo Domingo.
Speaking at the inaugural, the director of the project, Jose Miguel Gonzalez Cuadra said that it is one of the most modern systems in Latin America and will benefit a population of 287,000 persons that will see considerable reductions in cost and time of their commutes. Estimates are that the service will benefit 132,773 people that live in Gualey, 57,510 in Los Tres Brazos, and 97,149 in Sabana Perdida. 80% of the population in these communities rely on public transport to get around.
Barrios that are benefiting from the collective transport system are Villa Blanca, Salomé Ureña, La Nueva Barquita, Los Guandules, Espaillat, María Auxiliadora, Urbanización Moisés, Los Mina Norte, Brisa de los Palmares and La Victoria.
The system cost US$8.4 million per kilometer and each cabin has capacity for 10 persons. There is free wifi service in the four stations. The skylift is estimated to transport 16,553 persons per day in its first year.
A first month of free service at peak hours has been announced. The peak hours are 6-9am and 5 to 8pm. Afterward the month, the cable car will cost RD$20 per journey and will connect with the Santo Domingo metro for no additional charge.
The skylift was built by the Urbe office, but now will be operated by Opret, the Santo Domingo Metro office. The sky lift has connections to four stations located on Charles de Gaulle Avenue. It allows for connecting to Line 2A and 2B of the Santo Domingo Metro. From there, commuters can connect to Line 1.
Many Santo Domingo residents affected by the construction complained the builders have not met their promises.

You know I will and you know I will,,,,,,,,,,, but it won't be right away. I learned my lesson when Metro Line 1 first opened.
This is really great news...….. what is really nice the article states you can transfer from the Teleferico to the Metro for no additional charge. You can't do that with the carro publicos………. GO la rep dom ….
and now drivers of carros publicos in the area demand compensation from the government because of the loss of passengers:

Did they not realize this was part of the plan? Less cars on road, affordable transportation.
no because the owners told them not to worry as they own the country they will take care of you!! lying sacks of excrement, then you figure that most of the drivers don't even own the cars why should they receive anything for taking the junk off the road anyway.

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.
