Er…. the Maracanã station of the metro line opened in 1981. The Metro itself began in the 1970s. I believe they’re building dedicated bus/mass transit lanes for the Olympics and World Cup, and the Ipanema metro station only opened in 2009, but the Metro’s been around and functioning for a long time.
