Cariri Metro ((ポルトガル語:Metrô do Cariri), though it is technically not a metro system) is a , nine station diesel commuter rail line (sometimes referred to as a light rail line) in the Cariri region of southern Ceará state, Brazil. It is operated by ''Companhia Cearense de Transportes Metropolitanos'', which also operates the Fortaleza Metro. It is expected to transport about 5,000 passengers per day.〔 The line went into operation on an experimental basis on 1 December 2009, and went in to regular service in 2010. This rail line connects the cities of Crato and Juazeiro do Norte together, and is operated with diesel light rail vehicles (LRVs). The initially estimated cost for implementation of this project was R$ 13,223,522; the cost that was later revised to R$ 25,190,720. The commuter rail system was implemented on a 〔 existing railway line, where the rail was adjusted to allow for the acquisition of greater speeds between stations. Five stations were built in Juazeiro do Norte, and four in Crato. In the future, it is planned to extend this rail line to the city of Barbalha, south of Juazeiro do Norte. == History == In late 2006, then-Governor of Ceará, Lúcio Alcântara, announced the construction of the passenger rail line in Cariri, which was later renamed ''Metrô do Cariri''. The inauguration was scheduled for February 2007, but in January 2007 work on the line was halted due to the change in state government, and was only resumed in June 2007. The Metro Cariri was officially opened for test service on 1 December 2009, and after further testing was opened for full commercial operation in 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cariri Metro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
