The 4th and 5th videos were heading south from the same section of Barra ciclovia as in the first 3 videos. However, heading south to Av. das Americas (the only east\/west high volume vehicle corridor for Recreio\/Barra) and Terminal Alvorada, this Barra section of the ciclovia formerly in the middle of Av.

Terminal Alvorada serves Barra da Tijuca and Recreio dos Bandeirantes, the fastest growing and very heavily trafficked districts in Rio. The justification for not continuing Metro Linha 4 to Terminal Alvorada is below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Rather than &#8220;study&#8221; if metro subway service is needed in Recreio, (which appears to be obvious and inevitable, judging by the daily volume of automobile traffic at: Alvorada, on Av. das Americas, \u00a0Av. Salvador Allende and Linha Amarela\/Av.

Current alignment of the TransOlympica BRT will only provide service to the Olympic Village (no RioCentro station). One TransCarioca BRT station is somewhat accessible to the Parque Aquatico Maria Lenk venue and the HSBC Arena, and TransCarioca may serve the Olympic Park<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Unfortunately, according to recent newspaper article, a section of TransBrasil BRT will not be completed in time for the 2016 Games. Additionally, overcrowding is already commonplace on the currently operating BRT lines. BRT buses continually depart\/arrive at Terminal Alvorada and often back up, due to a single embarking and disembarking platform. This single platform may have been sufficient when used only by TransOeste BRT, which commenced service Sept. 2012. However, TransCarioca BRT, servicing Rio&#8217;s northern &amp; eastern communities on route to Galeo\/Jobim International Airport, inaugurated service at Terminal Alvorada just before the June World Cup. In response to the inaugural BRT opening, TransCarioca eliminated\/consolidated some local bus service, also contributing to the BRT overcrowding. Speaking as a regular BRT user, the BRT would be a wonderful compliment to, rather than a poor substitute for, metro subway service to the Olympic Village and Park, RioCentro, Recreio and Jacarepagua. Zona Oeste residents, all of Cidade Carioca and its&#8217; Olympic attendees desperately need and deserve sustainable, efficient and less polluting transportation alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">TransOlympica BRT construction on Av.
