Thanx for the link antonio...what I find ironic about the name of the stations is that stations named after Amin Abel Hasbun and Camaano directly follow a station named after the man directly responsible for both their deaths, Joaquin Balaguer! Unbelievable.

On another note concerning individuals that stations were named after...Gregorio Urbano Gilbert Suero...until just very recently I knew nothing of this Dominican that fought along side that great Latin American patriot, Agosto Cesar Sandino. As a young man he actually went to where the Americans were disemabrking during the initial stages of their 1916 invasion and let off a shot at the first American he saw set foot on dry land! Ballsy indeed.

Dread this is the first semi positive thing I have heard you say about this project....Let us hope josean drowns in humiliation for having been such a naysayer and the taxi sindicatos begin to see the error of their ways

gc baby, on your pic..........which one is you?

Yes they do, antonio, with all the other planned lines included. I will bring you the link of the master plan!

Here is the master plan, which indicates the total number of lines, what type of stations will they be (either on ground level or underground, and start to finish points).

YEA VERY TRUE, ONE DAY BONAO WILL ALSO HAVE IT'S OWN GREAT METRO SYSTEM! AND THE WHOLE COUNTRY MAYBE THE WHOLE ISLAND OF HISPANIOLA WILL BECOME VERY MODERN



omg.. here are some videos of the metro. bye

sorry to burst your bubble, Neon Genesis, but trains do not make a country modern. what good is it when you have transportation modalities for a population which is internationally uncompetitive, because the government neglects more urgent needs, such as energy delivery and education? do you believe that we can say that we can produce consumer goods and services at acceptable standards of quality and pricing because we have an underground locomotive? nothing is going to be the same when this recession is over. the world is going through a paradigm shift, which some scholars call the 'Great Disruption'. Two years down the road, only the very best are going to be able to compete and survive. trains will not be the answer; preparation , on the other hand, will.

Hey DT freaks... Who was Pena Battle or Manuel Arturo Pena Battle... I cant find anything on him but he clearly is important since one of the Metro station is named after him...

Pena Batlle is a hero of yours without you evening knowing it. He was an idealogue who pretty much worshipped all that was Spanish in Dominican culture and villified all that was not. He was extremely instrumental, along with Balaguer, in forming that particlar brand of hispanidad, with its anti-haitian elements, that both men dubbed "Dominicanidad". He held several posts under trujillo and died in the latter part of his regime.
