Peña highlighted that this Metro extension will directly impact about 5 million people who reside in the areas surrounding the five new stations that make up this line.

"This is a work that drives the development of the entire community of Santo Domingo Oeste, Los Alcarrizos and Pedro Brand. Hopefully they would make several more meters like this, because this is a country that is advancing," said the municipal official.

During the test run, President Abinader pointed out that Line 2C represents a transformation in the urban mobility of Greater Santo Domingo, significantly reducing the travel time of citizens and improving their quality of life.
