Overview
- Operations start Tuesday with direct connection to the metro and an urban/metropolitan bus terminal, consolidating 363 intermunicipal lines as a future VLT link remains under construction.
- State authorities formalized metro name changes: Águas Claras becomes the new Estação Rodoviária and the former Estação Rodoviária in Pernambués is renamed Estação Iguatemi.
- The government launched a three-front orientation effort with teams at the metro exit, inside the terminal, and at the bus terminal to guide passengers and operators during the transition.
- The new SAC post opens in partnership with the Technical Police Department to issue the Carteira de Identidade Nacional, initially at about 160 per day, alongside services such as Detran, INSS, Procon, SineBahia, Planserv and the Public Defender’s Office with capacity near 16,200 monthly visits.
- The complex spans 127,235 m² with 41 boarding and 24 disembark platforms, 847 parking spaces, 40 app-driver bays and nine VIP rooms, with transferred security units in place; G1 reports the project cost at R$200 million after an initial R$120 million estimate and a roughly two-year delay versus early timelines.
