The Metro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 2022

The Rio de Janeiro Metro is a rapid transit network that serves the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Metrô was inaugurated on 5 March 1979, and consisted of five stations operating on a single line. The system currently covers a total of 58 kilometers (36 mi), serving 41 stations, divided into three lines: Line 1 (16 kilometers (9.9 mi)); Line 2 (30.2 kilometers (18.8 mi)), which together travel over a shared stretch of line that covers 10 stations of an approximate distance of 5 kilometers; and Line 4 (16 kilometers (9.9 mi)). Metrô Rio has the second highest passenger volume of the metro systems in Brazil, after the São Paulo Metro.

Line 1 (orange line) serves downtown Rio, tourist areas in the South Zone, and several neighborhoods in the North Zone. It is a semicircular line, and is fully underground. It runs from Uruguai Station to Ipanema/General Osório Station. Line 2 (green line) serves working-class residential neighborhoods extending toward the north. It is a northwest-to-southeast line, and almost completely above-ground (mostly at grade and partly elevated). This line started as a light rail, but due to increasing numbers of commuters, it gradually changed to rapid transit or metro. Because of its origin as light rail, it is at grade except for Estácio Station (the former connection station between lines 1 and 2), which is underground and Cidade Nova Station, which is elevated, and Line 4 (yellow line), connecting Barra da Tijuca/Jardim Oceânico Station in the West Zone to Ipanema/General Osório Station on Line 1. ~Wikipedia

I like the design of having the destination sign above each door, on the outside, rather than the typical way of putting it in a window. High enough to be seen above the crowd, and in a rush you can look above the door to make sure you're getting on the correct train!

Just one of things that still work good in Rio de Janeiro: Metro and VLT

Εξαιρετική δουλειά! Πολλά ¨εύγε" στους υπεύθυνους των μεταφορών της Βραζιλίας. Καθαροί σταθμοί, προσεγμένοι συρμοί. Μόνο οι μετόπες των παλαιότερων συρμών είναι εξαιρετικά... "άσχημες", αλλά αυτό δεν μειώνει στο ελάχιστο την αξία τους. Εύγε!

The stations have the same layout and platform usage as Park St and Five Points in Boston and Atlanta, respectively.

A nice system that should be expanded.

O metro do Rio é bem pequeno, caro e sem integração com a rede de trens de subúrbio! Muito ruim! Em São Paulo custa quase a metade, tem integração gratuita com toda a rede de trens e é muito maior e ainda tem 3 linhas novas em construção! No Rio faz tempo que não se constrói nada!
