The government plans to tender the construction of fifteen new Metro stops in the remainder of this year and in 2016, which will require an investment of $85 million.

The Goals Secretariat of the Presidency is carrying out studies to define the location of the new “pay zones”, which will be added to the 19 which are currently in operation.

Carlos Duboy, executive secretary of Goals, said in an article in Prensa.com that “… Of the 15 pay zones that the new administration plans to build, the main one is in San Isidro, which must be integrated with the Metro station there, which is currently inoperative. The structure, one of the largest projected, will cost $28 million. ”

“…Duboy said they are currently revising the specifications for public events along with the state-owned Metro de Panama, SA and the Land Transport Authority (ATTT).
Ana Laura Morais, Metro planner, explained that for this station the economic investment will come from the Secretariat of Goals, but the road design was contributed by the state run company. “
