The RioGaleão Light Rail is a future light rail line serving the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro.

This new line will be approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) long and will have 7 stations, beginning at the Estácio Station (with connection to Rio de Janeiro Metro Line 1) and ending at the Galeão station, connecting the metro system directly to the Galeão Airport. It will be a light rail, with trains with more cars than the current Rio light rail system, but less than the Rio metro system. Estácio station is expected to receive self check-in machines and passengers would be able to dispatch their luggage.[1][2]
