First test runs in Panama Metro to begin August next year

Construction on Panama City’s new Metro is moving forward, with 30 percent of the project completed, according to the government.

The first tests runs will be made on project’s Line 1 in August 2013, according to President Ricardo Martinelli, who made a visit to the construction site Monday.

“In December 2013, this new mass transportation system will be operational,” Martinelli said, who was looking at the May 5 station, which has completed 60 percent of its work and will be the first stop on the line to complete construction.
