São Paulo metro operator postpones tender for US$6.5bn line

São Paulo’s metro operator CMSP postponed the basic engineering and architecture tender for the planned US$6.5bn line No. 20-pink from April 3 to April 24.

Initially, the tender was planned for March 7. A reason for the latest postponement was not provided.

According to BNamericas’ projects database, the 31.1km line will have 24 stations.

São Paulo state is still among the most vibrant players regarding passenger transport projects.

"The state of São Paulo has by far the largest passenger rail network in Brazil and this position will be further consolidated in the coming years, given the large volume of projects planned in the state," Joubert Flores, president of passenger transport association ANPTrilhos, told BNamericas.

The national rail network extends 1,133km and served 2.48bn passengers in 2023. São Paulo’s network is 389km and served 1.89bn passengers last year.

ANPTrilhos data shows that six major works are underway in the state: expansions of lines No. 2 and No. 9, building line No. 6, construction of the Vila Prudente section along line No. 15, construction of line no. 17 and a rail link to Guarulhos airport. 

The Intercidades train, connecting the cities of São Paulo and Campinas, is also set to advance. The contract was awarded to a Brazilian-Chinese consortium in February.
