LINE 2 OF THE PANAMA METRO
His design
In its first stage, Line 2 will have a length of 21 kilometers of elevated track.
Since the beginning of the studies in July 2009, to provide Panama City with a Metro-type transportation system, on the basis of which Line 1 was designed, the Metro Secretariat of Panama conceptualized the Metro system as the structuring component of the integrated public transport network of the Metropolitan Area of Panama and in this sense analyzed and proposed the mass transport master network of the metropolitan area of the city, considering the year 2035 as the planning horizon. (Línea 2 del Metro de Panamá)
The very restricted capacity of growth that the existing road system has, due to the narrow and elongated configuration of the Metropolitan Area determined that it would consider serving the trunk corridors of public transport with mass transport technologies with own right of way without affecting or with the minimum possible impairment to the available road capacity. (Línea 2 del Metro de Panamá)
In this context, the eastern sector of Panama City (from the Avenida Cincuentenario to the Chepo district), which housed in 2010 about 500 thousand inhabitants, currently presents very precarious mobility conditions, especially during peak periods. , with long routes over a road network with deficient capacity and connectivity.
