Below is a web link about the future Metro Line 3. Included is a video that is rather interesting. The video is about 3 minutes duration, and in Spanush (as it should be). Because we frequently drive when going to PC, we get to see the enormous residential and commercial expansion that is going on just west of PC. I can't help but think the Metro 3 line would be both an economic success, but also an environmental plus. I say that because we see literally thousands of new homes going up. We call them "cookie cutter" design because they are all identical, street after street after street. Here is the link referred to: http://www.centralamericadata.com/en/article/main/Metro_Line_3_The_Future_of_Panama_West

Great experience for Panama. Buy the Metro card ($2) at a kiosk before entering the gates. Then add money to the card at the kiosk. Simple as that. We rode the Via Argentina Route (L1) to Albrook mall. 35 cent per person one way. Fast, Clean, and Professional. It is safe to take it during rush hours in the daylight but I would recommend the off hours. We tried peak and off hours. Both are good but it is really crowed during rush hours.
