Metro de Maracaibo prestará servicio gratuito este domingo 16-D
Para beneficio de miles de zulianos, el Metro de Maracaibo laborará gratis este domingo 16 de diciembre durante la jornada electoral, donde se escogerá a gobernadores y diputados al Consejo Legislativo.

Transportation: Minimetro
We have come to find that the city of Perugia has an abundant network of public transportation options, including city and suburban buses, as well as the Minimetro. The girls love to ride on the Minimetro, which to them, is like riding some sort of fair or theme park ride!
The Minimetro rides on a solid rail line that goes from Centro (said sort of like “Chin-throw”; the [old] city center) down to the southwest outskirts of the city–where expansion has been/is taking place. There are tunnels, as well as inclines and declines, depending upon whether you are leaving the city or entering the city.
Currently, there are 7 different stops/stations where one can get on at. The cars run on cables, running up and down the track, and one stops at each station every 2 minutes or so (whether there are people ready to get on/off or not).

Perugia’s Mini Metro
Saturday April 16
Today I am going to Orvieto, which is a project just to get there, although well worth it. The transportation included taking Perugia’s Mini Metro, 3 trains, and a funicular, a two hour process altogether.
Perugia has a Mini Metro which consists of unmanned “cars” with seats and standing space, each car possibly having a capacity for 30 people. It operates on a series of cables and transports people from the centro storico on top of the hill to the lower part of Perugia, near the train station and other areas. The distance it covers is approximately 3 km or just under two miles, and takes a few minutes at a cost of one euro and 50 cents. It really is pretty cool!
Ride the Mini Metro with me in Perugia
When I visited Perugia, I had to take their Mini Metro to reach the lower part of the city. This mode of transport is efficient as well as inexpensive. I thought you might enjoy sharing the two-minute ride with me.

Il minimetrò di Perugia e le elezioni amministrative 2009
Minimetro Perugia!
Il minimetrò di Perugia, invenzione amata e odiata, voluta, promossa e realizzata dall’amministrazione uscente, scatena forti passioni. Quelli che se lo sentono vibrare e stridere sotto casa tutti i giorni, lo odiano, quelli che lo guardano nell’ottica di sviluppo, prestigio e comunicazione, lo amano. Tutti hanno qualcosa da dire in proposito.
In prossimità delle elezioni, invito chi ha qualcosa da chiedere sul destino del Minimetrò di Perugia a iscriversi al gruppo di Facebook myperugia o a seguire e commentare il post nel blog http://myperugia.com: ho pensato che potesse essere interessante rivolgere delle domande dirette ai quattro candidati al ruolo di sindaco di Perugia. Perché non inserire anche una domanda proprio sul Minimetrò?
Posto che il Minimetrò esiste e che smantellarlo non avrebbe senso, qualcuno ha qualche domanda specifica su questo argomento da rivolgere ai candidati? E’ il momento di chiedere chiarimenti!
