These 1907 Brill built bogie cars were for the low-fare Carros do Povo service between Santo Amaro and Intendente. The windows had originally no glass but only vertically-striped canvas shades. The large platforms were at the same height as the saloon floor and they had two steps at each entrance. The interiors were fitted with longitudinal slatted seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the cheap-fare service ceased in 1917, they were fitted with transverse seating in 2+1 configuration for the five central bays, leaving 16 seats on the longitudinal benches. Also the windows were glazed. In spite of these comfort improvements, they were very impopular. All five were withdrawn and scrapped in 1948.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
