The absence of feeder bus routes for the Santo Domingo Metro is causing frustration for users of the new system. Many do not take the metro because they have to pay two other fares to get to their final destination.
Since the Metro began service, to the delight of many, the Transport Reorganization Office (Opret) has been promising that feeder lines would begin operating "soon". Several months ago, according to El Caribe, shortly after the Metro began running, the paper reported that hundreds of passengers, while enjoying the Metro, complained of the expense of paying buses and motoconchos just to get to the Metro station.
