Metro

Here in the Capitol, Santo Domingo, they have subway, underground train. Before it only had one line, but just this past week they finished adding a second line! Everyone is so excited! The train doesn't travel to another town just stays here locally in Santo Domingo. The cool thing is that for this week, the first week that its open its free!!!! But starting Monday it will be 20pesos=50cents. We got on it twice! And honestly have been on it everyday that its free! Hey it's free right! It's super nice! Nicer than Dart but of course it's new! And security is everywhere!!! Not security to check your ticket but security for protection and they are strict! Like you have stand in certain areas to wait for the train you can't cross the black line, and if a child is alone they can't get on, and you can't where sandles. And any little thing security will tell you " you can't do that". Wow so strict but it's really nice the brothers love having a new line! But what I do like is that the rule is to give up your seat for someone with special circumstances, and if you don't do it security will tell you "get up, this seat is for..." Priority are the elderly, pregnant woman, children, and me! Haha just kidding I've been pulled out of my seat many times haha.
Of course we had been in service all morning so it was nice getting on the train to get home a bit faster! We enjoyed it! It was almost the entire service group on the train! Of course we were all talking and laughing, what great friends we have here! Really enjoy them! They will surely be missed but for now we enjoy them for another 3 weeks!
