Rio de Janeiro Wireless Light Rail (2020)The Light Rail system in Rio de Janeiro is a modern, wireless system using a ground power rail. The Alstom Citadis 402 low-floor trams are attractive, quiet, and low floor.
I also included various other train in Rio de Janeiro including the metro (subway), commuter rail, tram, rack railway, and buses.
I loved my time in Rio, and want to go back and explore more of this fascinating city!By Luke Starkenburg - .

Light rail of Rio de Janeiro, VLT Carioca (2017)Built for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, VLT Carioca is the newest tram network I have traveled on. The 44-meter-long Alstom Citadis 402 trains are bright and spacious, featuring a design that eliminates the need for overhead lines. Power supply is from the third rail. As always, I tried to avoid filming co-passengers and waited for suitable moments when most of the people were leaving the train.By Jontsa73 - .
