Rio Announces New Campo Grande Intermodal Terminal

Overview

• The Prefeitura do Rio presented the Campo Grande intermodal terminal project on Saturday, July 11, detailing a facility that will link to the existing BRT station and concentrate 33 municipal and intermunicipal bus lines.
• Officials said the terminal will be built on more than 22,000 square meters with an estimated cost of about R$ 81 million and capacity to serve dozens of buses and thousands of daily passengers.
• The city says work would be executed and finished within up to two years after the licitação ends, so the schedule depends on the outcome and timing of the ongoing bus procurement process.
• The plan is part of a broader Zona Oeste mobility push that includes a Santa Cruz terminal reported about 60% complete and proposed projects for Bangu and an expansion at Parque Susana Naspolini in Realengo.
• City officials say the terminal aims to improve transfers, reduce travel times and raise service quality for residents of Campo Grande and commuters from the Baixada Fluminense, with added features such as covered platforms, commerce areas and a bicycle facility reported in the project presentation.
