A call for public patience in the year of the jams

Robert Roy, executive secretary of the Metro, says 2012 will be the year of jams and asked for public patience,

Twelve subway stations will bed built simultaneously and construction work will take place on 17 city intersections

Traffic is already a mess due to road reorganization plans being implemented by the Ministry of Public Works (MOP) and the work on the subway line, and it is compounded by a monthly increase of over 3,000 new vehicles  a month, which could   expand as small China built cars costing as little as $3,000 start to come on stream

City streets currently deemed  impassable are in areas like San Miguelito, Transístmica via Fernández de Córdoba, via Espana  and Avenida Balboa.
