In the spotlight because of the breakdowns, delays, overcrowding and expansion in the headways, the São Paulo Metropolitan Train Company (CPTM) promises that this year it will put into circulation all the new consists, which have been widely publicized because of the investment of $128.36 million. There are nine trains, which have differences in comfort for users and more modern technology, which the state-owned company ensures that will gradually come into operation this year.
It is funny because the CPTM has been talking about these new trains for a long time, but so far hardly anyone has seen them in circulation, the administrative assistant Ricardo dos Santos Guimarães questioned. Meanwhile, we continue to travel on trains that have several years of use, he added.
Regional director of the New Trade Union Federation, the railroader Adalberto Santana de Andrade said that one of the new consists is now available in the Region, but few people have seen or had a chance to use it because their movement is restricted to the Expresso Leste (which makes direct route between Estudantes and Luz stations, without change at Guaianazes) and only twice a day, a travel in the morning and other by night.
