The administration of the metropolis however, which has no higher authority and takes into account Brazils federal nature, is more complex : it has evolved more as a consequence of adjustments between various levels than as the result of a specific rationale. As transports show, a certain vagueness exists which is indicative of the difficulties faced by the administration due to the tremendous size of the metropolis. In particular, the weakening of the administrations role in transport regulation shows that political intervention is being challenged
