Recife Metro (Portuguese: Metrô do Recife, Shortened Metrô or MetroRec) is the subway system of Recife, the capital of Brazilian state Pernambuco. It consists of two lines with a length of 40 kilometers, with a total of 28 stations. Over 200,000 travelers make average use of the system per day. The operation of the metro is in the hands of CBTU, a former Brazilian state-owned company which has been split up in recent years and now serves local authorities. Especially on the subway is that indicating the stations next to a name is also an icon per metro station. Lines
The system consists of a central line and southern line. The former, Linha Centro runs from the picturesque city center in the western direction. The Linha Sul connects Recife's international airport by subway and connects southern parts of the city to the network.
The central line uses the tracé of an old railway track, which previously served railways. After the Coqueiral station, the track branches in two. The train services thus know two different destinations, Camaragibe and Jaboatão. Between 1985 and 2002, the red-labeled line was opened and expanded several times. The use of icons and colors as a distinction between the stations is remarkable.
The southern line opened in February 2005 with some years of delay due to financial problems. After three extensions, the blue line reached the current ending point, Cajueiro Seco. There are plans to double the existing track south of Cajueiro Seco and make it suitable for the subways.
Most of the stations offer a shuttle bus service; This means of transportation is widely used in Recife and in Brazil in general. Gallery Also see the 19th century and the beginning of metaphysical and surrealistic movements of the 20th century. Literature Externe link
