Tender issued for USD1.55 billion rapid passenger train PPP project in Costa Rica
Incofer in Costa Rica has launched a request for qualifications seeking a private partner to participate in the pre-qualification process for passenger rail network concession. Under the concession, the private partner will be responsible for the design, finance, construction, operation and maintenance of the Electric Train network for the Greater Metropolitan Area.

- Line 2: US$475.55 million;
- Line 3: US$475.61 million;
- Line 4: US$123.09 million;
