Subway temporarily closes Trianon-Masp station during Lula’s campaign event in Paulista

According to the company, the measure was adopted due to the high concentration of people in the region, with the aim of preserving public safety and organizing the flow of passengers.

In a statement, Metrô reported that it had activated its crowd control plan, a strategy used in situations of large concentrations of people, such as New Year's Eve. The operation included increasing the number of trains in circulation, increasing the number of employees and directing passengers to stations further away from the focus of the agglomeration.

As an alternative to Trianon-Masp, the Consolação stations, on Line 2-Green, and Brigadeiro, also located on Avenida Paulista, remained open, according to the company.

Metro also reported that it monitors the evolution of demand and applies flow control measures as necessary, including in situations of operational failures or crowding that could compromise circulation capacity at stations.

Therefore, the Trianon-Masp station will only open again when demand is regularized. There is no timetable.

In a statement, the Public Security Secretariat (SSP) reported that the Trianon-Masp and Paulista stations were closed due to incidents involving vandalism and riots.

"At Consolação station, there was a large flow of passengers and friction involving employees. The Military Police intervened at Paulista stations, on Line 4-Yellow, and Consolação, on Line 2-Green", stated the ministry.

The secretariat also stated that, at the time the note was released, the situation was under control and that the PM continued to monitor the developments of the demonstration to guarantee the safety of the population and the preservation of public order.
