Thales, as a member of the Eurodom consortium, has supplied communication, supervision, signalling and ticketing systems for line 2 of the Santo Domingo Metro in the Dominican Republic.

The opening of the metro line, which crosses the city from east to west, is a key milestone in a national plan to improve public transport and relieve congestion on the road network. It connects to the north-south line 1 and once complete, will run for 21 km and will have twenty stations.
Fourteen stations are now open and the new line will carry approximately 400,000 passengers daily.
“Following our recent successes with line 17 of the São Paulo metro and the Manaus
monorail system, the opening of this new line further strengthens Thales’ solid positioning in the Latin American transportation sector,” said Thales VP Latin America, César Kuberek.
