Line 13 (CPTM)

Line 13 (Jade) (Portuguese: Linha 13–Jade), also known as the Guarulhos Train, is one of the thirteen lines that make up the São Paulo Metro Rail Transport Network and one of the five lines currently operated by CPTM. The route is 12.2 kilometres (7.6 mi) long with a total of 3 stations. It connects the Engenheiro Goulart Station in São Paulo to the Guarulhos Airport Station, in the city of Guarulhos. Opened on March 31, 2018, it was the first line completely built and operated by CPTM. That makes São Paulo's São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) the first among major South American airport hubs (such as Buenos Aires-Ezeiza, Santiago de Chile, Lima, Bogotá, and Rio de Janeiro-Galeão) to have a direct railway connection. This contrasts with other large airports in the region, which to date still largely rely on buses or taxis to access rail/subway transport, or have railway connection projects still in the planning or construction phase.
