Subway, more buses, ferries, tunnels: residents of Jacarepaguá, specialists, and authorities assess how to improve mobility in the region

oglobo13 September 2026 at 11:00

Mobility was pointed out by 73.15% of participants as the main problem in the Jacarepaguá region in a poll conducted by GLOBO with nine alternatives, followed by clashes between criminal factions with 8% and irregular construction with 6.86%. Residents, specialists, and authorities assess how to improve circulation in the region, which comprises ten neighborhoods including Taquara, Tanque, Freguesia, and Curicica.

The Rio city government promises bus fleet renewal, greater integration with BRT, and major construction projects to facilitate circulation in the region. The state government, on the other hand, states that the subway will reach Jacarepaguá, but without a defined date, making it a distant timeline.

While promises remain unfulfilled, residents of Jacarepaguá organize themselves as best they can to reduce travel time and traffic difficulties between their homes and their work or study commitments. Complaints about mobility appear throughout Greater Jacarepaguá.

Why this matters

Residents of Jacarepaguá face daily long journeys and mobility difficulties, being directly affected by the lack of investment in public transportation. The promises from the city and state governments about new construction and modal integration can directly impact the quality of life and time spent in traffic by residents of the region. The poll showing that nearly three quarters of participants consider mobility the main problem highlights the urgency of the issue for the community.

Faro Airport registers "greatest pressure" in biometric data collection

Mandatory biometric data collection from 100% of passengers coming from outside the Schengen area is proceeding without major problems at most Portuguese airports, but Faro faces "greater pressure" due to factors such as weather conditions, flight delays and concentration of arrivals, especially from British tourists. Since 6 September, when the measure came into force, processing time per passenger has increased from 5-15 to 15-30 minutes in Lisbon, which the PSP considers acceptable. The addition of 360 officers and technological investments have reversed the serious constraints recorded at the beginning of the year, but the PSP admits it cannot guarantee that problems will not return, with capacity currently at 80% of recommended levels, with a focus on more technical training.
