The estimate is that line allows to transport more 240 thousand passing a day.
Joubert Flores, director of institutional relationships of the Metrô Rio, dealership of the carioca subway system, defended the project of the line 4 of the subway, whose construction model and operation, in study for the government of the State, is not still closed. He said that the implantation of two bus lines with exclusive strips only justifies itself if there is not capacity to create the new line of the subway. The idea of taking the subway of the south area of Rio to Barra da Tijuca exists there is more ten years. Now the idea would be to change the plan of the line 4, linking it to the station of the subway in Ipanema, to be inaugurated in December, what would almost guarantee the passengers will double.
