AND NOW, FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT…
On a recent trip to Santo Domingo we explored one the world’s newest and most modern subway systems. The Dominican Republic’s capital’s newest ride was completed in 2008, despite the millions it costs (its hard to obtain the exact figure). This in a country of great poverty and staggering wealth inequality. Rumor has it that the nation’s president, Leonel Fernández, who spent his formative years in Washington Heights, was inspired by our very own MTA.
