Infrastructure and transport challenges in Latin America

Overview

In the Dominican Republic, infrastructure projects have faced scrutiny regarding utility and demand. While the Santiago Cable Car system represents a significant investment of over RD$6,544 million, it has reported an average of approximately 1,700 daily passengers, which is only about 2.7% of its announced daily capacity of 64,000 passengers.

In the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area of Argentina, the transition to electric public transport is encountering structural difficulties. Local energy instability, including multi-day power outages in areas such as Florencio Varela, has highlighted a disconnect between the energy requirements for electric bus charging infrastructure and the reliability of the existing power grid.
