Type of services
The project is located in the city of Santiago de los Caballeros (about 600,000 inhabitants), where a complex network of informal transport vehicles is currently operating and is difficult to integrate and manage. With the installation of a new monorail and cable line, the city intends to build 7 new radial electric bus corridors, as well as two circular lines. The project aims to design the new system, from road infrastructure to network and operation. Several future scenarios have been modeled, some 15 new dedicated lane infrastructures, rolling stock and operational designs and complementary network modifications have been proposed. The project is funded by AFD and led by INTRANT (national transport authority).
