===Metro=== [[File:TUE_Série_2000_(Metrô_DF).jpg|thumb|[[Federal District Metro (Brazil)|Federal District Metro]]]] There is no passenger rail service in Brasília, but the [[Expresso Pequi]] rail line is planned to link Brasília and Goiânia (see below). A 22 km [[light rail]] line is also planned, estimated to cost between 1 billion reais (US$258 million) and 1.5 billion reais with capacity to transport around 200,000 passengers per day.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bnamericas.com/en/news/infrastructure/brasilia-to-start-works-for-us260mn-light-rail-this-year1/|title=Brasília to start works for US$260mn light rail this year|website=BNAmericas|date=2 April 2019|access-date=3 October 2019|archive-date=3 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191003091243/https://www.bnamericas.com/en/news/infrastructure/brasilia-to-start-works-for-us260mn-light-rail-this-year1/|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[Federal District Metro (Brazil)|Federal District Metro]] is Federal District's underground [[rapid transit|metro system]]. The system has 24 stations on two lines, the Orange and Green lines, along a total network of {{convert|43|km|mi|abbr=on}}, covering some of the [[Federal District (Brazil)|Federal District]]. Both lines begin at the Central Station and run parallel until the [[Águas Claras station|Águas Claras Station]]. The Federal District Metro is not comprehensive so buses may provide better access to the center. The metro leaves the Rodoviária (bus station) and goes south, avoiding most of the political and tourist areas. The main purpose of the metro is to serve cities, such as [[Samambaia, Federal District|Samambaia]], [[Taguatinga, Federal District|Taguatinga]] and [[Ceilândia]], as well as Guará and Águas Claras. The satellite cities served are more populated in total than the Plano Piloto itself (the census of 2000 indicated that [[Ceilândia]] had 344,039 inhabitants, Taguatinga had 243,575, and the Plano Piloto had approximately 400,000 inhabitants), and most residents of the satellite cities depend on public transportation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metro.df.gov.br/ |title=Companhia do Metropolitano do Distrito Federal|publisher=Metro.df.gov.br |access-date=25 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209075925/http://www.metro.df.gov.br/ |archive-date=9 February 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref> The Expresso Pequi [[High-speed rail in Brazil|high-speed railway]] was planned between Brasília and [[Goiânia]], the capital of the state of [[Goias]], but it will probably be turned into a regional service linking the capital cities and cities in between, including Anápolis and Alexânia.<ref>{{cite web |author=Fábio Amato Do G1, em Brasília |url=http://g1.globo.com/distrito-federal/noticia/2012/06/estudo-vai-apontar-viabilidade-de-trem-entre-brasilia-anapolis-e-goiania.html |title=G1 - Estudo vai apontar viabilidade de trem entre Brasília, Anápolis e Goiânia - notícias em Distrito Federal |publisher=G1.globo.com |date=28 June 2012 |access-date=12 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121015213355/http://g1.globo.com/distrito-federal/noticia/2012/06/estudo-vai-apontar-viabilidade-de-trem-entre-brasilia-anapolis-e-goiania.html |archive-date=15 October 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref>
