Metro line to open 4 days before Rio Olympics (Yahoo Sports)
The metro line extension, the key legacy project of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, will open just four days before the games and offer only limited service. State Transportation Secretary Rodrigo Vieira announced the plans in an interview on the broadcaster RJTV. The delayed subway line is just one in a long list of problems confronting South America’s first games, including the suspension last week on impeachment charges of President Dilma Rousseff.
