Brazilian authorities have unveiled an infrastructure budget of 24.1 billion Reais, which is around 10.76 billion Dollars, for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The amount is 25 percent more than planned, as they try to reassure the world they can deliver facilities on time. The budget covers 27 projects in urban development and public transport, including 8 billion reais for a newly added fourth metro line for Rio de Janeiro. The city is Brazil's second largest congested city, where getting around town is an ordeal.
