The pre-feasibility study for the new master network includes estimates of future demand up to 2040, and recommendations on the location of stations for lines 2A, 4 and 5.
Tuesday, March 20, 2018
The study recommends starting with Line 2A, as this would complete Line 2 and would significantly ease the exchange at San Miguelito and Line 1, by giving users the opportunity to head to the city center through Ave. Ricardo corridor. J. Alfaro - Ave. Manuel Espinosa Batista (where it would interconnect with the L1 at the Iglesia del Carmen station) - Ave. Aquilino de la Guardia.
Consultant Nippon Koei Lac-Systra explained that after Line 2A, Line 5 should be given priority, "... starting from the Exhibition district (connecting with Line 1 at Sto.Tomás), connecting to Bella Visa and the entire banking area, along the corridor on Calle 50, with the areas of San Francisco and Parque Lefevre, continuing to Costa del Este and Santa María and connecting to Line 2 in El Crisol."
From a statement issued by Metro de Panama:
The Metro de Panamá, SA (MPSA) was the setting for the presentation of the final report of the pre-feasibility study for the New Master Network, which was carried out with the aim of making a preliminary analysis of the project, with emphasis on lines 2A, 4 and 5, based on demand estimates developed under the TRANUS system (software used to simulate land use and transport), updating the Metro database, in terms of physical, socioeconomic and urban development variables of the different corridors that make up the network.
The results of this study are given within the framework of Technical Cooperation provided by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) for the Project to Support Line 2 of the Metro and in which general physical, socioeconomic urban and transport characterization was also carried out, of each of the corridors under study, to validate the preliminary layout and the location of the proposed stations for lines 2A, 4 and 5.

In the next few days it is planned to publish the bases of the pre-feasibility study for the construction of an underground metro in Guatemala City.
After being informed in November 2018 of the proposal to develop a metro that would connect in its initial phase the municipality of Mixco with Zone 15 of the capital, which will require an estimated investment of $700 million, now announces the start of procedures to conduct feasibility studies.
A feasibility study is being carried out for the extension of Line 2 into the financial zone and then extending it up to Paitilla, instead of ending it at Urracá Park, as originally planned.
Elcapitalfinanciero.com reports that "...According to Panama Metro's Planning and Development Director Ana Laura Morais, they are waiting for the results of the passenger demand and the feasibility study for the route, in order to decide if it would be better to develop Line 2 A towards the banking area or to maintain the original route going to Urracá Park."
The consortium made up of two Japanese companies and one French company will develop the pre-feasibility study for the new metro master network, with emphasis on lines 4 and 5.
The consortium, called Nippon Koei Lac-Sytra, is made up of the Japanese companies Nippon Koei Co. Ltd and Nippon Koei LAC Inc, and the French company Sytra.
A call has been made for expressions of interest to develop a pre-feasibility study for a new network master plan for the Panama Metro system, with emphasis on lines 4 and 5.
