The new government is working really fast on the new metro system and on the public transportation system at the same time, as well. There's hope, I think! :) Of course, there is a lot more to do, but at least they' re beginning on doing something. As a panamanian leaving abroad (Brasilia) I have to read a lot from the local newspapers to keep updated with what Panama is doing to organize itself. By the way, do you have any connection with Panama? Are you Panamanian? Best regards, Enrique Hello, Daniel.

Public Transportation within consists of only buses, with no clear routes or schedules. Driving is also very hectic!! Taxis are very inexpensive for getting around in the city, and would be my choice. This is not ideal for such a large and modern city, but supposedly a metro system is in development.... let's hope!! :-) John – I would not suggest the public transportation in Panama City for tourism, only for longer trips outside of the city.

But, how does one get about PTY without renting a car? Is there an adequate public transport system? Thank you. All seems very inviting for a future tourist.

It totally depresses me how most Latin American cities see car centric solutions as the goal. Having a car is still such a mark of entering a higher social class, kind of like "I can afford it so don't make me use public transportation ever again!" Especially Central American cities seem to adopt all the strategies that have made US cities so unfriendly to pedestrians. SO depressing! Pedestrians should be able to use the beautiful area close to the bay, not cars! Excellent post. GREAT blog!

Siento que es un lugar donde vale la pena vivir.. un lugar que tiene casi todo. Panama, con sus edificios.. pienso que no trata de imitar a nadie simplemente es un pais con ganas de crecer... no hay problemas con quien quiera una vida mas callada lejos de la ciudad, como dije para todo hay... si no te gusta estar en la ciudad.. pues hay muchos lugares en Panama donde puedes vivir relajadamente, en un muy comodo ambiente. La ciudad de Panama!..
