Curtiba palnned metro, monorail under construction This sprawling metropolis is currently home to a world famous "surface metro."  What do I know, I've always called them buses. However, the city has signed a contract to build a partially underground 13.5 km monorail which is expected to open for revenue service in 2006. As of 2009, no ground has been broken.
