Line 17-Gold of the São Paulo Metro was in temporary operation from 9am to 4pm before the opening hours were extended.
The expansion does not yet cover the business hours of the other lines of the train system, but it means an increase in current operating hours, which range from 9am to 4pm. The line will continue in temporary operation, without charging fees.
Metro says that the change will also have more trains in circulation and, therefore, the expected average interval between trips will drop from 18 to 9 minutes.
"The expansion will be carried out with six trains in operation. Five will run between Morumbi and Congonhas Airport in a "carousel" format, going along one route and returning along the other. A sixth train will run back and forth between Brooklin Paulista and Washington Luís," said the Metro.
"The simultaneous circulation of more trains increases the number of trips available and allows for a reduction in intervals. It also places the line in a more complex operational configuration. Therefore, the Metro will monitor the performance of the systems, track and maneuver equipment and infrastructure during this new stage. Periods without public service, between 10 pm and 6 am and on Sundays, will be used for monitoring, evaluations and possible operational adjustments, in order to ensure the evolution of the service with safety and reliability", stated the company.
