The planned extensions to train lines 11-Coral and 12-Safira will bring significant changes for residents of the Alto Tietê region and the eastern zone of the state. With the concession of the branches, which is part of the São Paulo State Investment Partnerships Program (PPI-SP), through the Investment Partnerships Secretariat, new stations will be built to serve the population of the region and the expansion will also reduce the interval between trains.
Residents of the cities of Mogi das Cruzes, Suzano, Poá, Itaquaquecetuba, Ferraz de Vasconcelos and the eastern zone of São Paulo such as the districts of Itaim Paulista, São Miguel Paulista, Guaianases, Tatuapé and others will benefit directly.

With an estimated investment of R$6.5 billion, line 11-Coral will be extended by 4 km between Estudantes and the new César de Sousa station, a long-standing request of the population. The service will also be extended to Barra Funda. In total, there will be four new stations on the branch: César de Sousa, Lajeado, Penha and Bom Retiro. The interval will be 3 minutes between Palmeiras-Barra Funda and Suzano and 6 minutes between Suzano and César de Sousa. All existing level crossings will also be eliminated and replaced by footbridges, viaducts or underpasses. Three stations will be rebuilt (Jundiapeba, Mogi das Cruzes and Estudantes) and all the others will be refurbished.
On Line 12-Safira, the concession provides for an extension from Calmon Viana to Suzano, creating a new interconnection with Line 11-Coral. In the São Paulo direction, the Cangaíba and Gabriela Mistral stations will be built, which will connect to Line 13-Jade and Line 2-Green of the metro. The Itaquaquecetuba station will be completely rebuilt and all the others refurbished. The investment planned for the improvements to this branch is R$3.8 billion. As a result, the interval between Brás and Itaquaquecetuba will be reduced from 5 to 3 minutes, and between Itaquaquecetuba and Suzano, from 10 to 6.5 minutes.
By 2040, line 11-Coral is expected to carry an average of 673,000 passengers per working day. On the 12-Safira, the expectation is 403,000 passengers on average per working day.
Alto Tiete Lot
The modernization and expansion of lines 11-Coral and 12-Safira is part of the project that also includes the sponsored concession of line 13-Jade.
Counting the three lines together, the project foresees an investment of R$14.3 billion over 25 years, which will bring operational, structural and technological gains for passengers, including the upgrading of the three lines and the expansion of the rail network. Ten new stations will be built and 24 existing ones refurbished, as well as the elimination of all level crossings, which will be replaced by footbridges, viaducts or underpasses, guaranteeing more safety for passengers and greater fluidity in urban traffic.
The lines will also undergo improvements to the overhead network, permanent way and signaling, as well as the implementation of new equipment and systems. The new contract will bring a series of innovations and regulatory improvements, including an initial investment program and a 24-month operational transition phase, with training and assisted operation by the concessionaire. This phase aims to ensure an efficient migration between CPTM’s management and the new concessionaire, providing more security and continuity in service provision.
The project also includes studies into climate resilience and extreme weather events, reinforcing operational safety and service continuity in adverse conditions.
