The deadline for the Tranvibús construction has been officially extended until September 30, delaying its entry into service for citizens. Although the works show visible progress, the new timeline implies more months of waiting for a system that promises to alleviate traffic jams and improve urban mobility. Users will have to continue with alternative transportation options while the project seeks to meet its goal.
Technical advances in infrastructure and control systems 🚊
Work is focused on the installation of catenaries and the adaptation of stops, with 70% of the civil works completed. Signaling and traffic control systems are in the testing phase, integrating sensors to prioritize vehicle passage at intersections. The fleet of electric units is already in the calibration process, although adjustments to synchronization with traffic lights persist. The extension of the deadline is due to delays in the electrical connection of substations.
The new date promises, like the previous two 😅
With this new schedule, the Tranvibús has already accumulated three inauguration promises, like a friend who always says they'll be there in five minutes. Drivers, meanwhile, will enjoy more time to get familiar with the traffic jams the system promises to reduce. Perhaps by September we'll already have a delay record that surpasses that of the subway works, though without the excitement of the excavations.
