With a Scheduled Opening for 2025, the New Line Promises to Revolutionize Mobility in São Paulo, Connecting Congonhas Airport to Morumbi Station.
New Subway in SP: A new development is shaking up public transportation in São Paulo: the long-awaited Line 17-Gold is finally moving forward with firm steps. After years of stagnation, construction has resumed and promises to connect strategic points in the city, such as Congonhas Airport and Morumbi Station, bringing more mobility and efficiency to São Paulo residents. With support from the state government, led by Tarcísio de Freitas, and robust investments, the new subway station is part of a larger project aimed at transforming public transportation in the capital.
The Return of Line 17-Gold
The construction of Line 17-Gold began in 2012, but unfortunately, the works faced a series of interruptions and were only resumed in September 2023, after nearly a decade of waiting. This line will have 6.7 kilometers of extension and will feature 8 stations, linking Congonhas Airport to Morumbi Station.
In October 2024, progress began to become visible. Stations such as Washington Luís, Congonhas Airport, and Brooklin Paulista are already receiving parapets, glass, and cladding. Additionally, stations like Vereador José Diniz and Campo Belo have already installed cubicles in technical rooms, while Vila Cordeiro and Chucri Zaidan have advanced in platform covering.

While the São Paulo-Rio high-speed train has never left the drawing board, the largest railway under construction in Brazil is advancing 1 km per day in Mato Grosso — 73% of the 743 kilometers are already completed and R$ 5 billion have been invested.
-
While in Brazil the São Paulo-Rio high-speed train never materialized, China plans to tunnel 120 km under the sea to connect two cities by rail — 90 km will be underwater, with trains at 250 km/h, and the 8-hour journey will be reduced to 40 minutes.

While in Brazil the bullet train between São Paulo and Rio never got off the ground, California already has 130 kilometers of completed viaduct, 16,700 jobs created, and is installing tracks for trains at 350 km/h.

Brazil had everything to be a railway powerhouse, but it only grows by 7.2 km in 2025, adds up to 1,144 km in 10 years, transports 2.59 billion and remains below the 3.2 billion pre-pandemic, revealing a concerning stagnation.
The Role of the Tarcísio de Freitas Government
The São Paulo government, under the leadership of Tarcísio de Freitas, has shown commitment to resuming and completing the works of the new subway in SP. In October 2023, a contract worth R$ 18 million was signed to continue the project. The Line 17 Verification Consortium, composed of Pini Group Brasil Ltda and Metroeng Engenharia Ltda, won the bidding and is responsible for various technical stages of the work.
Among the services covered are the installation of signaling systems, centralized control, platform doors, fiber optic networks, and electrical supply. The contract has a term of 29 months, with an execution forecast of 24 months from the first service order.
Benefits of the New Subway Station
The new subway station on Line 17-Gold promises to be a game changer for mobility in São Paulo. In addition to connecting the airport to other strategic areas, the line will facilitate the daily commute of thousands of passengers, reducing travel time and contributing to more organized traffic.
The inauguration of the stations is scheduled for 2025, during the term of Tarcísio de Freitas. Until then, progress reports show significant advancements, indicating that the project is on the right track.
The SP on Tracks Program
In addition to Line 17-Gold, the state government launched the ambitious SP on Tracks program, which aims to further expand public transportation on rails in the state. The project includes the construction of intercity trains (TICs), subways, metropolitan trains, and even LRTs (Light Rail Vehicles).
One of the future highlights is Line 16-Violet, which will connect the main parks in the east and west zones of the city, promoting more integration and accessibility for São Paulo residents.
Under the leadership of Tarcísio de Freitas, São Paulo is experiencing a moment of transformation in public transportation. The new subway station on Line 17-Gold symbolizes an important step toward modernizing and expanding mobility in the city.
2025, 2026…duvido que isso fique pronto neste prazo. Podem escrever: a população vai poder utilizar essa obra lá para 2030. Talvez.
Eo campo de batalha só interessa a vitóriaaaa é vençer e vençer e vençer eu venço sergioguedes,até q enfim um governador de verdade aqui no Rio essa ****
Doutor Wilson Martins tornou-se duas vezes Governador na garupa do Wellington Dias tentou andar montado sozinho, mas não deu certo voltou para a garupa do Wellington Dias e agora ocupa um cargo de terceira ou quarta categoria no Governo Rafael Fonteles. É gostar do poder nem que seja engarupado. Se o bravo Manuel Souza Martins, o Né de Souza, pudesse ver isso, dar-lhe-ia uma boa surra.
