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

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.
