Minas Gerais Governor Candidate Promises Free Transit Passes and Security Upgrades

Governor Mateus Simões, running for re-election, pledged free metropolitan transit for students on weekdays and free fares for all on Sundays starting 2027, alongside security improvements and completion of the Rodoanel project. This is a campaign promise with no legislative detail or funding mechanism specified, so feasibility is uncertain. It signals a populist platform aimed at urban voters in Belo Horizonte.
