Both lines would start at Plaza 5 de Mayo, the first running 17km to Pedregal and the se6cond 13km to San Isidro. A 1.3km extension from Plaza 5 de Mayo to Plaza de la Independencia is under consideration. The system would be designed for passenger flows of between 12,000 and 18,000/hour, even though peak requirements at present require capacity for only 9000 passengers/hour.
