      Let \(F\) be a hyperbolic surface, and let \(M:= F\times [0,1]/(x,1)\equiv (\psi(x),0)\) be the hyperbolic 3-manifold fibering over the circle, which is the suspension of \(F\) obtained by gluing \(F\times\{1\}\) to \(F\times\{0\}\) by means of a pseudo-Anosov monodromy map \(\psi\). The suspension flow on \(M\) is obtained by projecting the lines \(\{x\}\times\mathbb{R}\) on \(M\), from the cover \(F\times\mathbb{R}\). The main result is that this suspension flow can be isotoped to be uniformly quasigeodesic, meaning that the flow lines, lifted to hyperbolic space, are bi-Lipschitz embeddings of \(\mathbb{R}\). This result extends results by Cannon and Thurston and by Zeghib, which dealt with compact fibering 3-manifold \(M\), by allowing \(M\) to have a finite number of cusps. (Finsler) singular Solv metric plays a noteworthy role in the proof.
