History

Originally called North-South Line, line 1 began construction on December 14, 1968. Commercial operation began September 14, 1974, with trains running in the first seven kilometers between Jabaquara and Vila Mariana stations. In 1975 it was expanded, first to Liberdade, then to Santana.

In 1978 the Sé station was opened.

In 1998 the line expanded to Tucuruvi,because Santana station didn't settle the number from uses.

Moema branch

Project from expansion by a branc, passing by a importante and big bark and Moema district. That part, is today, in part, the Line 5 lilac.

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 1600mm and use overhead pantograph.
