They announced it'll be open this July and the Metro Car Cable will open in May. They also said you pay one fare and it can use on both systems.

Ah yes the Metro....the gift that has kept on giving to so many needy hands within the gov. Soon that faucet will be turned off, that is until line 3?

line 2 update

someone who works for the metro said the extension will open in July. Hope is dwindling, but I do see more metro cops, looks like they are getting trained for something.😼

Too late to edit above post but the 15th of May is the scheduled opening of the Teleferico (cable cars).

click the link dv8 posted...………

Line 2B of the Metro
Another work that is in progress is line 2B of the Santo Domingo Metro, which according to the director of the Office for the Reorganization of Transport (OPRET), Manuel Saleta García, by the end of August will begin to offer the service.

He informed that in July six cars will arrive in the country with which two trains will be assembled and that the same amount will be in the country in August, which would be enough to offer the service until station 24 located on San Vicente de Paúl avenue with Mella highway. .

"The wagons we will be assembling them in trains, and putting them into operation so that by August, at the end, we would have four trains, enough for us to take the service to station 24," he said. He said that in September two other cars arrive to reinforce the existing ones along with the impact that the launch of the Cable Car will have. Saleta García indicated that so far in line 2B is in the phase of completion and waiting for the wagons. He reiterated that other trains will also come to improve the service on line 1 to reinforce existing ones.

Yes the Metro keeps on giving and the cable car system has already started to give.

(part of an article dv8 posted in another thread)

Uniting life

Although the main objective of the Santo Domingo Metro and the Cableway public transportation systems is to facilitate the transportation of thousands of residents in the Greater Santo Domingo, another element is added to the novelties such as the integration of the benefited communities. Yesterday four state institutions, a religious and the council of Santo Domingo Norte, signed an inter-institutional cooperation agreement to create the Cultural Center and School of Fine Arts in station 3 of the Santo Domingo Cable Car that will serve to train children and youth of four disciplines of the fine arts.

In fact, they already gave their first demonstration of the connection with a group of children from the neighborhoods of Sabana Perdida, Los Tres Brazos and Gualey, which make up the DIGEPEP youth symphony, and which performed several musical themes.

They began to receive music classes since they began working on the Cable Car as part of a social inclusion program. In a short time the children already know how to read music and play their instruments, something they did not have any knowledge about.

FWIW, In the residential area where I live in SD, I have seen two new cars with "Metro Linea 3" on them in big letters.

Don't kid yourselves. As soon as 2 and the cable cars are up and running this month, they'll be starting the next one.

I'm a big fan of the Metro system. It is sorely needed here, and there are tons of supporting evidence this one has cost less per kilometer than almost any other in recent times.

They have been talking about a new fare system that allows you pay one fare and can use on all Metro networks, Cable Car, OMSA and Metro Subway without extra fares. This will bring more people to use and more safe, secure and fast transport here in SD.

Question for a MOD? Is it possible to change the title of this thread to Metro Line 2B? I think adding the word Metro might cause more people to open and read the thread. When Line 2B does indeed open hopefully there will be a little more chit chat.
