This project seeks to provide a public transportation system through an electric system that connects a main axis from east to west of the Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM), becoming the backbone of public transportation in Costa Rica, allowing mobility in a safe, clean, fast, and efficient way, while reducing the traveling time and road congestion.\n\nMore than just a project for Costa Ricans, the Greater Metropolitan Area Electric Passenger Train, financed with USD 550 million by the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI), will put Central America in the eyes of world development, as the project will be the beginning of an extensive railway interconnection in the region and investors see great potential for economic growth in the upcoming years, which will allow greater communication, integration and social benefits in the region, generating nearly 2,670 jobs and contributing to economic reactivation.\n\nThe Electric Train will have five articulated lines which are: Line 1 (Para\u00edso- Estaci\u00f3n Atl\u00e1ntico), Line 2 (Estaci\u00f3n Atl\u00e1ntico- Estaci\u00f3n Alajuela) and Line 3 (Estaci\u00f3n Atl\u00e1ntico- Estaci\u00f3n Ciruelas) that will operate independently, while Line 4 (Estaci\u00f3n Alajuela-Estaci\u00f3n Ciruelas) and Line 5 (Estaci\u00f3n Ciruelas-El Coyol) are planned as extensions of Lines 2 and 3. The total length of the network is 73 kms with 46 stations along the route; interconnecting 4 provinces and 15 cantons (Para\u00edso, Oreamuno, Cartago, La Uni\u00f3n, Curridabat, Montes de Oca, Goicoechea, Tib\u00e1s, Santo Domingo, San Pablo, Heredia, Flores, Alajuela, Bel\u00e9n and San Jos\u00e9) which make up the GAM.\n\nEstimated Investment Cost: USD 1,550,000,000.00\n\n\"\"Carlos G\u00f3mez Fonseca<\/a>\nPartner\nGarc\u00eda & Bod\u00e1n\nCosta Rica\n\n \n\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
