Cuiabá Light Rail (Portuguese: VLT de Cuiabá) is an unfinished light rail in the Brazilian city of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso. Work on the line has been suspended since 2015 due to suspicion of bidder fraud.[1] As of 2021, there is no intention to finish the construction and the system is to be replaced by BRT.[2]
The light rail system was designed to connect Cuiabá ("Centro Político Administrativo") with Cuiabá International Airport in the city of Várzea Grande.[3]
The spanish manufacturer CAF delivered 40 tramway cars of the Urbos series with seven elements. They are 44 meters long.[4]
Cuiabá's Light Rail was planned to be 22km (14miles) in length,[5] operating on two lines:
