The concession of the Alto Tietê Lot, which includes urban train Lines 11, 12, and 13, provides for the construction of 10 new stations and the renovation of 24 existing ones by the future concessionaire. The new stations respond to long-standing demands from the local population and will allow for the extension of more than 25 kilometers of railway.
Line 11–Coral will be extended by 4 km to reach the future César de Sousa Station, in addition to expanding service to Barra Funda. The line will also receive four new stations, 14 renovated ones, and three that will be completely rebuilt. All existing level crossings will be eliminated and replaced by pedestrian overpasses, road viaducts, or underpasses.
Line 12–Sapphire will be extended by 2.7 km, reaching the city of Suzano. It will gain two new stations and provide connections to Line 13 and Metro Line 2–Green. Additionally, one station will be rebuilt, and 12 others renovated.
Line 13–Jade will receive six new stations and 15.6 km of new tracks, reaching the neighborhoods of Bonsucesso and Gabriela Mistral—both long-standing demands of the population. Three stations on this line will also be renovated.
The Alto Tietê Lot has a strong social purpose: to serve the East Zone of São Paulo, a region with a significant transportation deficit within the São Paulo Metropolitan Area, where over 4.6 million residents rely on daily commuting.
In addition to station works, the project also includes investments in the overhead power network, permanent track infrastructure, and signaling systems, along with the installation of new equipment and technologies. In total, R$ 14.3 billion will be invested in infrastructure and service improvements for the population and users of the three lines, which are expected to transport an average of 1.3 million passengers per weekday by 2040.
All planned improvements and investments, detailed by railway line, are available on the project page, which can be accessed by clicking here.
