Panama Metro, Rapid transit system in Panama City, Panama
Panama Metro is a rapid transit system in Panama City that operates two lines with 29 stations across the network. The lines run through residential areas, business districts, and key city destinations, serving as the main transportation backbone for the metropolitan area.
The system opened in 2014 as Central America's first rapid transit network. Its creation followed years of planning and represented a major shift in how the region approached public transportation.
The metro brings together residents from different parts of the city and creates daily connections between workers, students, and commuters. The stations themselves function as gathering points that reflect the rhythm of local life.
Trains run regularly from early morning until late evening, making it easy to reach any station on the network. Passengers purchase a reloadable card at stations, which works across both metro lines and connections to other local transport.
The network mixes underground tunnels with elevated sections, creating an unusual blend of below-ground and above-ground infrastructure throughout the city. This variety gives passengers different views of the city depending on which line or section they travel.
