Panama Metro

? The Metro is actually useful for travelers, whether on vacation in Panama or on a business trip, since it's possible to take the train from hotels in the neighborhood called El Cangrejo (big hotels like the Veneto Wyndham Grand and the Hotel El Panama Convention Center & Casino, for example) to the giant Albrook Mall as well as the main bus terminal, which sits adjacent to the mall. While travel between El Cangrejo and Albrook Mall can take up to 30 or 40 minutes during rush hour by car or bus, by train it's a sleek, 15-minute ride (and you won't have to worry about getting overcharged by taxi drivers, which is common in Panama City).
