Line 19 (Sky Blue) (Portuguese: Linha 19–Celeste) is a planned line of the São Paulo Metro.[4][5][6]

At 17.6 kilometres (10.9 mi) in length at its first phase, the line will be the first subway line to serve the municipality of Guarulhos, with Line 13-Jade of the commuter rail system already serving the city since 2018. Construction is expected to begin in 2023.[2]

Background[edit]

Guarulhos is the second-largest city in the state of São Paulo, yet was not served by rail transport until the opening of the CPTM commuter rail's Line 13-Jade in 2018. Thus, planning for Line 19 began to link Guarulhos to the São Paulo Metro, along with Vila Medeiros and Vila Maria.[2] It will be underground for its entire length.

Planning[edit]

São Paulo Metro originally planned to begin tendering for the construction of Line 19 in April 2020, but this was delayed to May.[7]
