Mike’s notes

Salvador Metro serves Salvador. Salvador Metro provides a fast inland spine and a useful airport-area connection. It does not descend into the historic center, so the final leg to Pelourinho or the waterfront still needs another mode.

The first section opened in 2014 after a long construction period. Line 2 followed from 2016 and extended toward the airport and Lauro de Freitas.

Riding the network

Use the CCR or Motiva fare media accepted at the gates. Integrated bus products can be useful, but conditions depend on the card and transfer window.

Current rolling stock and ride conditions: Modern electric trains run on elevated and surface alignments with air-conditioning.

Acesso Norte is the transfer between Lines 1 and 2. Aeroporto station connects to the terminal by shuttle rather than sitting inside the airport building.

Accessibility: Stations have lifts, escalators, and level boarding. The airport shuttle and final street connection still need to be included in an accessible plan.

The metro map can make the historic center look closer than it is. Lapa is the central railhead, not a Pelourinho station.

Check Salvador Metro for the dated operating notice before a time-sensitive trip.
