Suburban train line to improve mobility in São Paulo

ongoing

The project aims to build 10.3 km of new rail infrastructure, starting at the city of Guarulhos and its international airport and terminating at Engenheiro Goulart Station, which allows a connection to downtown São Paulo. Line n° 13 will be connected to the future automated shuttles for Guarulhos Airport, which will connect the various terminals in 2015. It will comprise 8 km of viaduct line and a new 2.3 km line at ground level, and will stop at 3 stations with one train every 8 minutes at peak times. It will be equipped with modern air-conditioned motor-coach trains and will make a major contribution to improving the intermodal interchanges, integration and network interconnections of public transport.AFD’s financing concerns the civil engineering operations and project management, as well as capacity building, which will promote French experience and expertise in this field.
