The Kundrati designed Subway system, dubbed KaliMetro, is now operating from Imperial City to Port Davon.  This line will eventually extend to Gallo and the National Sports Complex.  The Lime Line is destined to become one of the more well travelled lines in the Metro system, but for now, it has been operating only for a few days.

The Inaugural trip was taken by Her Highness, the Crown Princess Carolina Ananto-Hulanevek and The Lord Count William Ananto-Sandoval.  They boarded the KaliMetro in Imperial City, and took passage all the way to Port Davon.  "The two royals returned from their honeymoon in Kundrati in time to be on hand for the opening of the line," said newly appointed KaliMetro Chief Operating Officer Victor Thomas.  "Her Highness has been overseeing the construction of this line since its inception, and I believe she wouldn't have missed the first trip for the world."  The trip took less than 25 minutes from Imperial City to the Port, which is about a 12 minute savings on car and 20 minute savings on bus transit.

"We are thrilled to inaugurate the KaliMetro Line," said Her Highness the Crown Princess.  "Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress Pavlina I Ananto considers the efforts of these dilligent and hard working men to be one of her greatest achievements, as it brings our fair capital to equity with modern cities across Terra!  We thank our friends from Kundrati for their work on behalf of the Empress and our Empire, and we honor the Service of the Conscripts from the Kaliburg Brigade of the Ananto Corps for their hard works and excellent craftsmanship.  The ride was smooth, swift, and without incident, and will be a great service to our people."

The Green Line will begin regular service on January 31st.  Kaliburg Station, on the Mall, will open to the public and will not only be a multi level passenger platform where the Lime and Plum Lines intersect, but will also have basic service ships and convenience food sellers there for commuters on the go.  There will also be a Cambio and a tour service for those tourists who wish to visit the Imperial Mall complex downtown.
