Background
Two weeks ago, the São Paulo government has terminated CCR Group’s concession for Line 15-Silver, as announced by the Secretary of Partnerships and Investments.
Despite this, the Metro will maintain normal operations, and a new bid process is pending.
Daily, Line 15-Silver transports approximately 115,000 passengers and links to Line 2-Green.
Initially planned in 2009 with 18 stations, the line stretches 26.6 kilometers. It aimed for completion by 2012 with a budget of R$ 6.4 billion, but delays occurred, and only a few stations opened by 2018.
ViaMobilidade Consortium, part of CCR, secured the concession in March 2019, facing no competition.
