CCR Metrô Bahia

What CCR Metrô Bahia does

CCR Metrô Bahia is a private metro concessionaire headquartered in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, operating as a subsidiary of Grupo CCR under the Motiva operating brand. The company runs two metro rail lines: Linha 1 - Vermelha (Lapa–Águas Claras) and Linha 2 - Azul (Acesso Norte–Salvador International Airport), comprising 19 stations across the Greater Salvador metropolitan area and operating daily from 5:00 to 24:00. Its core technology is a conventional electric metro rail transit system with full station-level accessibility for people with disabilities and reduced mobility, free bicycle accommodation, and a confidential reporting channel and 0800 customer hotline for rider services.

The business model is concession-based fare-box revenue. Public fares are set by the Government of the State of Bahia at R$ 4.10 per ride for exclusive metro use, with integrated ticketing at R$ 5.90 when combined with urban buses, STEC, and BRT, and from R$ 5.20 plus metropolitan differentials when combined with metropolitan buses. Revenue is therefore a function of regulated ridership volume and intermodal integration rather than commercial pricing power. Ancillary services (bicycle parking, accessibility, lost-and-found, event shuttles such as the FliPelô van service) are provided to support ridership rather than as standalone revenue streams.

CCR Metrô Bahia serves two primary customer segments: horizontal general-public commuters using the system for daily urban mobility across Salvador's key districts, and a secondary use-case segment of airport travelers using the Line 2 direct connection to Salvador International Airport. Distribution is direct via stations and integrated via partner bus terminals; marketing is conducted through an institutional website, Instagram, and customer-service channels. The company holds GPTW (Great Place to Work) certification and operates with a financial backing relationship with BNDES, positioning it within the broader Grupo CCR portfolio of Brazilian mobility and infrastructure assets.
