Tour Rio de Janeiro's various transport infrastructure projects underway and services already launched in anticipation of the 2016 Olympic Games. Projects include bus rapid transit, expressway, light rail tram and cable car.
The project consisted of removing four seats and installing two Q’Pod stations per bus. Q’Pods are known for being ADA compliant and their stability to reduce the risk of wheelchair tip-overs.
The biggest changes in the city's public transportation will include three bus rapid transit (BRT) lines, destruction of the Perimetral highway and the introduction of a light rail tram system.
The transformation of Rio de Janeiro, the Olympic city, are benefiting the lives of Cariocas (Rio’s residents) daily. The new concept of integrated transport in the city, which already benefits thousands of passengers daily with Transoeste and Transcarioca, will get even better with the arrival of Transolímpica, Transbrasil (BRT system) and the light rail system. Together they form the ring road of the city and connect with trains, subway, ferry and airport. #ThisIsOlympicCity
