Mike’s notes
CBTU João Pessoa serves João Pessoa metropolitan area. CBTU João Pessoa links the port city of Cabedelo, central João Pessoa, Bayeux, and Santa Rita. It is a public commuter railway with a sparse timetable, not a turn-up-and-go urban metro.
The corridor descends from the nineteenth-century railway that reached João Pessoa and Cabedelo. Modern diesel VLT cars replaced older locomotive-hauled suburban trains.
Riding the network
The current flat fare is R$2.50. Buy through the staffed CBTU station process and keep cash available in case local payment options are limited.
Current rolling stock and ride conditions: Air-conditioned diesel light-rail vehicles use the existing railway. The ride is slow but gives a direct route through communities that are awkward to connect by road.
João Pessoa is the central city stop. Cabedelo serves the port end of the line, while Santa Rita is the western terminus.
Accessibility: Platform height and boarding conditions vary. Ask CBTU about assistance before a trip that requires level boarding.
Service is concentrated on weekdays and part of Saturday. Check the dated timetable because long gaps make a missed departure expensive in time.
Check CBTU João Pessoa for the dated operating notice before a time-sensitive trip.
