The Challenge

Port-au-Prince is home to over 2.6 million people, a vibrant, growing metropolis facing critical infrastructure challenges.

The average resident spends 3 hours daily navigating congested streets, informal transit, and unpredictable routes.

Despite being the economic heart of Haiti, the city has zero formal rapid transit lines, leaving millions without reliable mobility.

But every challenge holds opportunity. PAPT is the answer.
