The Municipality of Santo Domingo and the Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) announced yesterday that they are considering the creation of a trolley car system in Santo Domingo. The system is proposed by a Spanish firm, Novo Internacional, and would involve an investment estimated at US$80 million. Santo Domingo Mayor Juan de Dios (Johnny) Ventura and AMET Executive Director Hamlet Hermann met yesterday with the president and technical team of Novo Internacional to discuss the proposal. Trolley cars, widely used in continental Europe, utilize overhead electrical cables to power them.
