President Leonel Fernandez was Ralph, the subway driver made famous by comedian Jackie Gleason, yesterday as he drove the new Metro a few kilometers between La Taina and La Isabela stations. A gaggle of reporters and a few dozen of his closest friends also made the trip. The President was visibly elated as he smiled and waved at the people who watched the demonstration. At 10:12am the Metro moved, officially, for the first time, under the helm of the First Driver, President Fernandez. The 13-minute ride ended with the subway whistle and the presidential announcement that "For those passengers who are going to get off, get ready, we are arriving at the La Taina Station at Pedro Livio Cedeno." The President said that he was training for the next trip on the 27th of February.
