Santo Domingo (2.2 mill. inh.) is the capital of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean Sea.

The originally planned metro line had an extension of 10 km, with 11 stations, running below Av. Maximo Gomez mainly in a north-south direction, all underground. The project was then modified due to objections made by the city, and the line eventually became 14.5 km with 16 stations. Instead of using the names of intersecting road, the stations were named after national personalities.
