Not enough. The Brazil had an opportunity that not used, and today, it no has structure and does not compensate build railways such in Europe. The governor believe that supplying the domestic market stimulate the use of petroleum , filling the roads of trucks . Build railroads in Brazil today would be like build in a little town of 3,000 inhabitants, viaducts and subways. The city would not have money or skilled technicians .
