Timeline of Panama City

The Panama Metro (Spanish: Metro de Panamá) is a rapid transit system in Panama City, Panama. It links the south and the east of the metropolitan area to the city center. The metro was inaugurated on April 5, 2014, and it entered revenue service two weeks later.The Metro was built to relieve the traffic congestion between the city and San Miguelito District and to offer commuters a viable alternative to road transport, as the Metrobus transport system was suffering multiple issues. The Metro operates seven days a week and 365 days a year. Its hours are Monday-Friday 05:00–23:00, Saturday 05:00–22:00, and Sundays and holidays 07:00–22:00.The Panama Metro is part of a major "National Master Plan" to improve transportation in Panama City and the west side of the country, which includes the construction of three more metro lines and a light rail line. Two lines have been built so far. The 15.8-kilometer (9.8 mi) Line 1, serves fourteen stations, with a fifteenth station being planned. Line 2 was opened partially and temporarily on January 14 to 17, 2019 for the week of the World Youth Day and completely and permanently on April 24 the same year; it covers a 21-kilometer (13 mi) route and serves sixteen stations.
