TIC West Axis
The Intercity Train West Axis will offer two distinct services: the Express Service and the Local Service, expanding mobility options for the population. With an estimated travel time of one hour, the train will offer a time savings of over 40% compared to driving and 50% compared to intercity bus travel.
The project includes the modernization and construction of stations, acquisition of a new train fleet, and integration with metropolitan train lines, the subway, and the TIC North Axis. The service is expected to accommodate approximately 50,000 passengers per day.
With a focus on accessibility and inclusion, the TIC West will feature adapted restrooms, areas for childcare and breastfeeding, and initiatives aimed at combating harassment in public transportation.
The implementation of the Intercity Train West Axis represents an important step toward regional integration and the promotion of more efficient, modern, and safe mobility in the State of São Paulo.
