Station renovations

Because some stations on Line C are the oldest ones in the entire metro system, they are no longer up to the standards. After devastating floods in 2002, the final decision was made and the renovations began.

Renovations are done carefully, with the goal to preserve the original design. Better lighting has been fitted and marble panels in each stated were changed for newer ones. The great part of renovations was also an effort to make all the stations on Line C barrier-free. Now, all but 4 stations can be labeled as barrier-free.
