The Teresina Metro will not be in operation on Monday, December 9, as confirmed by the Piauí Railway and Logistics Company (CFLP). The decision comes as part of ongoing interconnection work on the railway, which began on Friday, December 6. This maintenance activity is focused on a section near the São João station, aiming to ensure the safety of passengers and staff working on the tracks.

The maintenance works have temporarily suspended metro services, which provide a crucial connection from various areas of the capital to the center of Teresina. The CFLP has assured the public that the metro is expected to resume normal operations on Tuesday, December 10. The service, which is free of charge, typically operates from 6:40 AM to 7 PM, playing a vital role in the daily commute of many residents.

This disruption emphasizes the importance of regular maintenance for transport safety and efficiency, highlighting the CFLP's commitment to maintaining infrastructure standards. While such interruptions can inconvenience commuters, they are essential for preventing more serious safety issues in the future. Public awareness about these maintenance schedules is critical in minimizing disruptions for metro users across the city, ensuring they are informed in advance of any planned service outages.
