The Salvador Metro System is under construction, and its 1st phase will be ready in March of 2008, between Lapa and Acesso Norte Stations, and in 2009 will be ready the stations between Acesso Norte and Pirajá. In 2009 it'll have 12.5km and 8 stations and will have link with the bus system. The citizen could take a bus to the metro station and there take the train without pay again. This is only the first phase. Salvador is the third biggest city in Brazil, and has serious problems in transit daily.
