For the second straight month, the report from the Director of the Budget (DIGEPRES) shows that no money was assigned to the Metro project. Last November's report, just like October's, showed that the Metro did not get any money. From January to September the Metro averaged a disbursement of RD$400 million per month. With the first three subway cars arriving last week, it is expected that President Fernandez will at least take a short ride next 27 February, thereby honoring a promise he made to Congress last year. According to reports from the Budget Office, the Metro project has been assigned RD$11.97 billion this year.
News reports indicate that the President and guests will ride a symbolic stretch of the first line of the Santo Domingo metro on occasion of the 27 February holiday. Metro director has indicated the 14 km line could be open to the public by August of this year.
