Metrô e VLTs serão gratuitos nos domingos de Enem no Ceará, anuncia Elmano - Ceará - Diário do Nordeste

Overview

  • State and municipal authorities announced measures on Thursday and Friday to cover the Enem Sundays of Nov. 8 and Nov. 15, aiming to remove travel barriers for exam takers.
  • Ceará confirmed universal free access on metro and VLT lines in Fortaleza, Sobral and Cariri with turnstiles open, bicycle boarding allowed and earlier Saturday closures before each exam Sunday.
  • The Rio de Janeiro city government is providing R$10 in Jaé digital credits per exam day for registered candidates and published special timetables while operators added extra trains, longer metro hours and VLT adjustments.
  • Alto Tietê municipalities issued a patchwork of rules: Ferraz de Vasconcelos offers all-day universal free municipal buses, while Mogi, Itaquaquecetuba, Suzano and others require Enem registration or photo ID and have set operating windows.
  • Candidates should check local rules, Jaé registration deadlines and posted timetables because eligibility and how benefits are delivered vary by jurisdiction and by operator.
