SANTO DOMINGO.– The Office for the Reorganization of Transportation (OPRET), through the Metropolitan Transportation (MT) operating entity, announced that the Santo Domingo Cable Car, Line 2 of Los Alcarrizos, will suspend its operations from Friday, July 10th to Sunday, July 19th, as part of its annual preventive maintenance program.

The units will cover the usual route of the cable car and will operate on the same operating schedule as the system.
According to the published plan, the buses will make stops at the Los Alcarrizos, Las Toronjas and Duarte stations, guaranteeing the connection of users during the maintenance period.
The schedule will remain unchanged

- Monday to Saturday: from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
- Sundays: from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
