Inaugural Act<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n


President Luis Abinader led the launch of Line 2C of the Santo Domingo Metro, which seeks to improve urban mobility and reduce congestion on the Duarte highway, covering a distance of 7.3 kilometers from the Pedro Mart\u00ednez station to the Pablo Ad\u00f3n Guzm\u00e1n station in Los Alcarrizos, benefiting more than one million inhabitants.<\/p>\n\nThe project comprises civil and electromechanical works, 5 stations, a 6.5-kilometer marginal road parallel to the Duarte Highway, and a 940-meter tunnel.\n\n\n

“Today Los Alcarrizos definitively connects with the heart of the city”,<\/strong> exclaimed President Luis Abinader.<\/p>\n\n\n“This is not just an infrastructure project. It is a concrete response to a real need. It is a clear sign that when the State listens, plans, and perseveres, it can transform the lives of its people.”\n\nDuring its journey, Line 2C will connect 14 communities in densely populated areas of Santo Domingo Oeste, allowing passengers to save up to two hours a day in travel time during peak hours, improving their quality of life.\n\n\n

“Thousands of Dominicans in this area have spent up to an hour and a half each way to get to their jobs or study centers. With this line, the complete journey can be made in just 10 minutes between stations, and the total savings in rush hour can reach up to two hours a day”<\/strong>, added the head of state.<\/p>\n\n\nIt is also estimated that there will be a decrease of up to 60% in users’ transportation expenses.\n\nThe system will have the capacity to transport 15,000 passengers per hour per direction for a total of 150 thousand passengers per day.\n\nFrom his side, the director of the Office for the Reordering of Transportation, Jhael Isa, indicated that from this important project that completes the Integrated Transportation System, this city is interconnected with a metro system of the highest technology, with the highest levels of quality and reaches the heart of its neighborhoods thanks to the integration with the cable car of Los Alcarizos.\n\nLikewise, he stated that in terms of mobility, Line 2C represents the greatest expansion of the service that has been recorded in the entire history of the integrated mass transit system, because it will serve a community of more than 500,000 direct beneficiaries, with a demand of more than 150,000 passengers per day.\n\n“That is to say, that the metro, which today mobilizes 400,000 users a day, with the metro, the cable car and the feeder routes, would reach about 650,000 users, bringing us closer to our goal of one million users, with the greatest projected demand growth in the entire Santo Domingo City transportation network.”\n\n\n

Abinader doubles public transport coverage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nWith this new line, President Luis Abinader’s administration will have doubled the coverage of mass public transportation, adding 21 kilometers in Santo Domingo with lines 2 and 3 of the Santo Domingo Cable Car, and line 1B of the metro for a total of 21 kilometers in Santo Domingo and 17 kilometers in Santiago with the incorporation of line 1 of the cable car and the first line of the monorail.\n\nA total of 38 additional kilometers will have been added to the existing ones.\n\nThis new line, as well as the existing ones of the Santo Domingo Metro, the Santo Domingo Cable Car and the new projects that make up the Integrated Transportation System of Santo Domingo (SIT Sto. Dgo.), will be managed by the Metropolitan Transportation Company, an institution created by decree to comply with the application of Law 63-17 on Mobility, allowing the segregation of operation and maintenance activities from the construction of infrastructure works.\n\n\n

About the Integrated Transportation System (SIT)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nThe Santo Domingo Integrated Transportation System is an urban mobility model that articulates various public transportation means such as the metro, cable car, buses, trams, under the same planning, unified fare and technology.\n\n\n

Its main objective is to improve the efficiency, speed, and safety of users’ transfers by reducing operating costs and environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\nAt this stage, the SIT Sto. Dgo. includes the physical and fare integration of different mass transit modes, including the urban corridors of the avenues N\u00fa\u00f1ez de C\u00e1ceres, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, and Independencia, and the Santo Domingo Oeste Cable Car.\n\n\n
