São Paulo's Line 17-Ouro monotrilho was inaugurated on March 31, 2026, linking Morumbi station to Congonhas Airport in the south zone, 12 years late from its 2014 World Cup promise. Folha tests found bus and ride-hailing car faster than metro from Sé Square to the airport. Governor Tarcísio de Freitas announced an extension to Paraisópolis.

A Red Mobility system bus crashed into a bus stop with passengers this afternoon on Vicuña Mackenna avenue in central Santiago. The accident injured people and suspended traffic in the bus corridor at the height of Argomedo street. Firefighters and Providencia Municipal Security personnel responded.

Preparations include adding trains and renovating key stations like Zócalo and Bellas Artes. The works aim for lasting improvements beyond the tournament.
