Metro São Paulo have responded to criticism published in O Estado, insisting that the Line 17 (Gold) project is on track to be operational by the end of 2016, explaining the additional costs involved in current monorail projects, and making assurances regarding the operation of Line 15 (Silver), though admitting initial train speeds are lower than was first presented.
São Paulo’s silver-15 Line, Brazil’s first monorail, began limited operations this week, connecting Ipiranga and Cidade Tiradentes stations. At present, trains will only use two of the eighteen eventual stations, running a 2.9km stretech between Oratory and Villa Prudente. When Line 15 is complete and fully operational, 500,000 people are expected to travel on the full 26.6km route daily.
São Paulo Governor Geraldo Alckmin has confirmed that contracts with the Isolux Corsan-Corviam consortium for the construction of new stations as part of the Line 4 extension of the Metro have been rescinded. Five years after the projected completion date, the works remain a long way from completion and are already well over budget. A new contract tender to complete the works will open in the coming days, according to the city government.
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.
Based on the successful work of the Frauscher Sensor Technology Brasil Ltda, the international technology leader will attend this year’s Business on Rails which will take place from November, 11 – 13 in Sao Paulo. At this year’s event Frauscher will present its latest innovations under the motto “ready to be connected”.
