Five international companies have shown an interest in participating in the construction of the Santo Domingo metro's proposed second line. These are Alstom, Siemens, Bombardier, Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF) and Invensys. The second Metro line would run from Los Alcarrizos to San Luis, a distance of 22 kilometers and 24 stations, at an estimated cost of US$600 million.
