📋 Tender Overview
Teresinas subway is about to gain a new face. The order of service was signed that authorizes the 2nd stage of the revitalization and modernization works of the system. The total investment will be R 351.2 million, being R 237.9 million from the Ministry of Cities, via the general budget of the Union, and R 113.3 million of state counterpart.
Inaugurated in November 1990, Teresinas subway began operating with part of the original incomplete project, with no connection with the center, with few stations and limited roller material. More than 30 years later, the system will finally receive the necessary investments to approach the initial proposal, focused on ensuring regular, punctual and accessible transportation to the population.
