Santo Amaro Metro Station

The southern section of the line, between Largo Treze and Capão Redondo was completed in 2002 and was envisioned as a railway line of the CPTM called Line G. The project was transferred to the São Paulo Metro and renamed to Line 5 - Lilac. A northern extension connecting it with the rest of the São Paulo Metro network started construction 2009 with a completion deadline of 2013.[3] The project stalled due to issues with property acquisition and restarted in 2011.[4] The completion deadline of the extension has been delayed several times, but it has been reached on 8 April 2019.[5]

Technical specifications

The line operates with 25 trains (out of 26 available)[7] and is made-up by 17 stations, transporting about 600,000 people every business day.[2] Eight additional trains are expected to be added to the line in 2020, after CBTC installation and other enhancements are completed.[8]

It was the first line in the Sao Paulo Metro to utilize a 1500 V tension Catenary, Standard Gauge, beside trains with IGBT power conversion and 1,60 m wide doors.[9] Santo Amaro station was the first in Brazil to be built on a cable-stayed bridge.[10]

During the 11.5 km (7.1 mi) extension between Largo Treze and Chacara Klabin stations, three TBMs were used and 26 CAF trains were added to the line in addition to the eight Alstom trains originally available.[11]

On Lines 1, 2 and 3, the track gauge is a non-standard 1600 mm, the third rail is 750 V DC and under running. For Lines 4 and 5, the track gauge is 1435 mm and they use overhead pantograph, precluding any connection to the rest of the system, plus the 4 and 5 lines can't connect because the trains on the 4 line use drive-less technology while trains on 5 line are OPTO. Lines 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 (operated by CPTM) are all 1600 mm and use overhead pantograph.
