[Downtown Bolivar]

Looks like the Chavez propaganda machine is "on track!"

[zaphod]

It looks nice, and I hope it has many positive effects on the city, no matter who's cutting the ribbon, because years from now it wont matter.

[WonderlandPark]

Con Chavez!

Very nice, another world city with a metro

[BnaBreaker]

Looks like the Chavez propaganda machine is "on track!"

Yep...because any positive development that can be attributed directly to Chavez is propaganda, not simply a positive development.

Politics aside, this is a great looking system!

[graupner]

Looks pretty good!!

[Capt AWACS]

Nice system. Wish it had been there when I lived in Maracaibo! I can't wait to try it out on my next visit.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,

[Robert Pence]

I like the color scheme, and it looks like they haven't gone the cheap route on station design.

[Downtown Bolivar]

Hey now--can't leave this one alone! They opened two stations and a single track. That's barely passable as a starter line. Do you know any other system in the world that would open such a small section with such fanfare? I thought the Sophia Metro was tiny...geez!:shrug:

[Occit]

I love that green trains :D

[zaphod]

I thought the Sophia Metro was tiny...geez!

and their trains are fugly


sofia metro is a lot longer now though?

[mSeattle]

It's pretty cool that thy're building this while having all that oil. Hope it grows with robust and there's TOD eye-candy.

[anm]

only two stations... so what? it is a good start

Congratulations!
