In a public announcement released this Saturday, the Metropolitan Transportation Company has confirmed that a key segment of the Santo Domingo Cable Car network will be taken out of service temporarily for mandatory inspection work. Specifically, Section 2 of Line 1, which connects the Charles de Gaulle and Sabana Perdida stations, will be closed to passengers as part of the transit system’s routine planned upkeep program.
The transportation authority stressed that the temporary closure only impacts this specific 2-station stretch, and all other segments of Line 1 will continue running according to their regular schedules with no service adjustments. To minimize disruption to daily commuters who rely on the affected section, the company has arranged for complementary transit support from OMSA, which will deploy additional buses to pick up and drop off passengers along the closed route.
In an official statement shared with the public, the Metropolitan Transportation Company extended its gratitude to riders for their patience during the maintenance period, and offered a formal apology for any disruption to travel plans that the temporary closure may cause. Routine maintenance work like this is standard practice for public transit systems worldwide, carried out to identify potential safety hazards, address minor wear and tear, and ensure long-term reliable operation for all passengers.
