The Transport Reorganization Office (OPRET), the fiefdom of Diandino Pena, has announced that it will be extending the trial period of the Metro from 10 to 20 days. In addition, there will be increased use of the trains and tours are being organized from all over the country so that schoolchildren can ride the most modern transportation system in the Caribbean for free. According to Ricardo Jacobo, the coordinator of the second phase of testing, the visitors should not have to wait for more than 10 minutes for a train. Originally, the trials were scheduled to conclude on 1 May, but they have now been extended until 11 May. This will allow an additional 100,000 people to ride the subway. The Metro will operate from 9:00 in the morning until 1:00 in the afternoon for the visitors. From 3:00 in the afternoon onwards the Metro will be reserved for use by people attending the XI International Book Fair in the Plaza de la Cultura.
