At 17.6 kilometres (10.9 mi) in length, the line will be the first to serve the municipality of Guarulhos. Construction is expected to begin in 2021.[1]

Background

Guarulhos is the second-largest city in the state of São Paulo, yet was not served by rail transport until the opening of the CPTM commuter rail's Line 13-Jade in 2018. Thus, planning for Line 19 began to link Guarulhos to the São Paulo Metro, along with Vila Medeiros and Vila Maria.[1] It will be underground for its entire length.

Planning

São Paulo Metro originally planned to begin tendering for the construction of Line 19 in April 2020, but this was delayed to May.[5]
