Quito Metro Extension: CAF Funding, New Line & Rail Infrastructure

Описание: Alright, train enthusiasts, get ready for some exciting news from Ecuador! The Quito Metro is expanding, and it's going to be a game-changer. The Development Bank of Latin America, or CAF, is checking out the plans for a brand-new, 5-kilometer extension. This new line will connect the existing Labrador station with the La Ofelia micro-terminal, adding four new stations along the way. Think Bicentenario, Andalucía, Rosario, and Ofelia – all making your commute easier! The journey along the extension should take just eight minutes. CAF, which helped build the original line, is keen on financing this project, as are other big names like the World Bank. Right now, they're picking a consultant to finalize the station designs and plan future extensions. Once that's done, construction can begin. This project builds on the original line that started serving passengers in 2023. The goal is a continuous line from Quitumbe to La Ofelia, which should take about 42 minutes from end to end. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting expansion!
