Starting this Thursday, Metro and Cable Car services will begin at 5:30 a.m.

The Office for the Reordering of Transportation (OPRET) reiterated to the population that this Thursday, July 31, the extension of the Santo Domingo Metro and Cable Car schedule begins, with the opening of doors at 5:30 in the morning, to provide greater ease of access to users of this means of transportation.

Starting this Thursday, the Metro and Line 1 of the Santo Domingo Cable Car (from Gualey to Charles de Gaulle) will offer services from Monday to Friday, from 5:30 in the morning until 10:30 at night. On Saturdays, the Metro will offer services from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and the Cable Car until 9:00 p.m. On Sundays and holidays, the service remains as usual, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the Metro and from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the Cable Car.

In a press release, the institution explained that this measure is part of the government’s “RD se Mueve” strategy, which seeks to improve mobility in the capital city and offer facilities to users who need to travel earlier to their workplaces, university studies, and other daily activities. This measure will be evaluated and monitored to decide on its optimization.

OPRET thanked the commitment and dedication of men and women who work while the city sleeps to make the implementation of this measure possible, guaranteeing a safe and efficient service. A team of operators, ticket collectors, drivers and dispatchers mobilizes from 3:00 in the morning in buses provided by the institution, to arrive on time to their jobs. Similarly, technical teams perform maintenance of roads, stations and trains during the night, so that the system works in optimal conditions.

Finally, the institution highlighted its commitment to prioritizing maintenance work, offering a quality service and responding to the mobility needs of citizens, contributing to the development of a modern, safe and efficient public transport.
