Why did Medina cut continuing the Metro?
Yup, the government is facing a difficult economic situation and there are more pressing matters.
The DR's National Debt, is now 45% of the Gross national Product!!!!!!
That's WHY!!!!!!!!

Netherlands national debt is 65% of GDP
USA's national debt is 108% of GDP.
Anyway, I know there is (and was) no money for the metro, my point is that Danilo is basically killing Leonel's project for the rest of his administration. Smart move maybe? If leonel comes back in 2016 and finishes line 2 and starts line 3, spending all the budget, Danilo can come back in 2020 and won't be affected by Leonel's big spending.
don't worry theres enough conchitos for people to move around and support the folks who actually work for a living.people got around before the metro and they will manage now with one.lol
metro is a great thing for SD. but so it happens that danilo is after the votes traditionally supporting PDR. he's been worming his way into the hearts of campesinos since day one. soon there will be no one to vote for PRD but hippo. because we all know that crybaby miguelito votes PLD...
Santo Domingo can't afford it. A dispersed city with no defined central area/downtown such as Santo Domingo would be better served by a good bus network supported now by the two Metro lines. This project was more about glamour and not having to dealing with the unions than solving the transport problems of Santo Domingo.
A proper transport stratgey would deal with land use planning, service provision etc (why you need to travel so much) + pedestrian links amongst otehr things. Just building a few tunnels solves nothing.

Reasons:
1. It is a huge drain on economic resources better spent elsewhere (education, medical)
2. It only benefits SDQ, thusly allocating more than a proportional share of GDP to SDQ
3. It operates at a huge annual deficit

They finally realized the money is better spend in the POP/Santiago area and will immediately finish the Santiago Bypass and the Cruise ship terminal, and a modern hospital in POP. Happy Funny Friday.

yet somehow i feel you single highhandedly crashed my hopes and dreams. it's a good thing i have 6 cartons of rum in a wardrobe. now excuse me as i drink myself under the table to cuddle with dust bunnies.
