The Sacomã station on Line 2 in the Sao Paulo Metro, began operating yesterday with assisted operation and platform glass doors. During the test period, passengers can travel for free, until the Alto do Ipiranga station, from 10:30 to 15h. At the end of the month, the station will be officially inaugurated. To avoid accidents on the tracks, there are glass doors on platforms that open only when the trains arrive. Passengers will be advised to get used to the news, said Wilmar Fratini, manager of the Metro.
The Sao Paulo Metro changed the conventional turnstiles for automatic locks, and had surprised the first users. “I think this is going to be a problem in peak days. People have no patience to wait for the locks to open. In the hurry, we will have confusion, predicts the logistics coordinator, Cristiane Godoy.
Another novelty is the ventilation system, which moist the air.
