The Salvador Metro opened in 2014 and currently consists of two lines. Additionally, a metre gauge commuter rail line linked Salvador with Paripe, which was proposed to be replaced by another form of rail transit following the opening of the metro. In May 2018, the consortium SkyRail Bahia, founded by BYD Company, was selected to build a 20 km (12 mi), 22-station monorail line between Salvador and Simões Filho.^[3] The current situation as of Jan. 2024 is that the implementation of the project has not been started yet, while the discussions in public and politics are heavy and the city council asks for transperency about the contracting with BYD.^[4]

If Once fully complete in far future, SkyRail Bahia would be a two line monorail network.^[5] The 19.2 km (11.9 mi) Orange Line will connect the Salvador Metro's Accesso Norte station to Ilha de São João with 24 stations, and is expected to carry 172,000 daily passengers. The Green Line will be 4.1 km (2.5 mi) with three stations, connecting São Joaquim to the neighborhood of Comércio.
