The program aired on July 20 focusing on issues such as the current scenario of urban mobility public policies in Brazil, the damages caused by time lost in traffic jams – which amount to more than BRL 40 billion per year –, the Rio de Janeiro subway and the changes caused by the partial construction of Line 4, and the advancement of BRT in the city.
