São Paulo Metro Line 5 (Purple Line) Extension Project

closed

The extension of line 5 will enable its integration to the broader Subway network of the city of São Paulo, connecting with line 1 at the Santa Cruz station and with line 2 at the Chácara Klabin station. Other specific objectives pursued by the project include: (i) increased connectivity of the population within the sphere of influence of this line, particularly low income population who are the major users of public transport; (ii) improved service provision; (iii) improved standards of living due to reductions in travel times; and (iv) reduced emissions due to an expected decrease in the use of motorized transportation.
