Thales will deliver its world leading SelTrac communications-based train control (CBTC) signalling solution, providing fully automatic driverless operation. Lines 1 and 2 cover a combined distance of 31 kilometres and serve 19 stations.
The new metro will be part of an integrated transportation system, serving Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport, connecting it to other transport systems in the city.
The project is expected to be complete in the first half of 2017.
