Paulistanos will soon be able to enjoy the Orange Line of the SP metro, which promises to make transportation around the capital even easier! Connecting the North Zone to the city center, it will reduce to 23 minutes a journey that currently takes 1 hour and 30 minutes by bus.
The line will run for just over 15 kilometers, from São Joaquim Station in Liberdade to the future Pátio Morro Grande station in the north of the capital. The route, which is scheduled to open in 2026, will carry more than 600,000 passengers a day.
While we wait for the long-awaited Line 6-Orange, how about getting to know some of its stations and the sights we’ll be able to visit with it in the future? We can give you the spoiler that it promises to be a great help to students: after all, because it passes close to several campuses, it has already been nicknamed the “University Line”. Check it out!
