National Association of Passenger Rail Operators (ANPTrilhos) celebrated 11 years of foundation on August 28th.

The history of the Association began as a dream of 5 executives, who joined together in the search for the union and development of the metro-railway sector of passengers in Brazil.

Currently, the association counts on the active performance of operators and an important part of the Brazilian industry, which make it a solid entity committed to its beliefs and values.

Over the years, ANPTrilhos has earned the respect of the press, civil society, government and legislative bodies, which now rely on its collaboration for the development and improvement of public policies and regulations aimed at the rail passenger sector.

Working together with the National Transport Confederation, the entity also contributes to the synergy of actions in favor of the Brazilian transporter.

Going beyond borders, the representativeness of ANPTrilhos reached the five continents. Currently, the organization is proud to be part of the most respected international Associations dedicated to public transport and rail – International Union of Railways (UIC), International Association of Public Transport (UITP), Asociación Latinoamericana de Metros y Subterráneos (ALAMYS), Asociación Latinoamericana de Ferrocarriles (ALAF) e American Public Transportation Association (APTA).

ANPTrilhos is also proud of working in partnership with Brazilian Associations – Brazilian Association of the Railway Industry (ABIFER), Association of Metro Engineers and Architects (AEAMESP), National Association of Public Transport (ANTP) and Brazilian Association of Tourist Train Operators and Cultural (ABOTTC).

Working together with the National Transport Confederation, the entity also contributes to the synergy of actions in favor of the Brazilian transporter.

Going beyond borders, the representativeness of ANPTrilhos reached the five continents. Currently, the organization is proud to be part of the most respected international Associations dedicated to public transport and rail.

Always working in line with the principles that inspire and conduct ethical and responsible behavior, ANPTrilhos is always ready to collaborate so that the sector has even more strength and greater representation.

The Coronavirus pandemic brought an even greater challenge. The sector is experiencing the biggest crisis that public transport has ever gone through and there is still a long way to go, but following together, committed and motivated, ANPTrilhos believes that it is possible to overcome this crisis and come out of it even stronger.

In celebration of its 11 years of foundation, ANPTrilhos launches its new institutional video:
