Governor of Rio de Janeiro Luiz Fernando Pezão has confirmed that proposals to develop a bus rapid transit have been rejected, as increasing public demand means the construction of metro line 3 is the only viable long-term solution given the city’s growing population. Studies are expected to be complete by next year, with construction set to begin late-2017 or early 2018.
Twelve of Metro Rio’s fifteen new trains, which will operate Line 4, have arrived this week from China and operational testing will begin this week on Line 1 and Line 2. The trains will have six cars and will be able to transport 1,800 passengers. The remaining Line 4 trains are expected to arrive in December 2015. The new line will run from Barra to Ipanema in thirteen minutes and Barra to Centro in 34 minutes.
The government of São Paulo has agreed to pay an additional R$20 million to the Isolux Corsan Corivam consortium to complete two of the remaining four stations of the cities line 4 project. Works have so far taken 11 years, and the government recently threatened to break the terms of the contract, following extensive delays on the project expected to be complete in 2010.
