Rio Olympics' special subway starts running

Interim president of Brazil, Michel Temer (center, right), accompanied by the governor of Rio de Janeiro, Luiz Fernando Pezao (center, left) gets on board an underground train on Line 4. Rio de Janeiro's subway Line 4, which connects Barra da Tijuca to Ipanema, started running on Sunday. The new line is 16 kilometers long and has six stations. It shortens by at least one hour the time it takes to go from the Barra district to the south. During the Olympic Games only those with game tickets will be able to use this subway line. Trains running on the line are all made in China and the Chinese company that built them will be in charge of train safety. [Photo/IC]
