Owned and operated by Opportrans Concessão Metroviária S.A.,
the Metrô Rio commenced operations in 1979 as a simple five kilometre
underground service between Glória and Praça Onze. Today,
it provides Rio de Janeiro commuters with a 37-kilometre transport system
linking the beautiful beaches of Copacabana south of the city to the city
centre, then out to Pavuna to the far north-west of the city.
Metrô Rio comprises two lines—Line 1, which is entirely underground
and runs from Copacabana to Saens Peña; and Line 2, which links
with Line 1 at Estácio, runs underground a few kilometres to Praça
Onze, then continues above ground to Pavuna.
