Line 17 - Gold is a future project of the São Paulo Metro.
This new line will have 14 stations, beginning at the São Paulo-Morumbi station and ending at the São Judas Station. In contrast to the other metro lines, Line 17 will be a monorail. The line is part of the project that the city had to host the 2014 World Cup.[1]
It will have integration with Line 1 (Blue), Line 4 (Yellow), and Line 5 (Lilac) as well as CPTM Line 9 (Emerald).[2]
The layout is designed as 21.5 kilometres (13.4 mi) long and will be opened in three stages. The first one is 3.8 kilometres (2.4 mi) long and is planned for early 2011, linking Congonhas-São Paulo Airport to São Judas Station, with an initial demand 18,000 passengers per day. The second phase, expected to have a demand of 100,000 passengers per day, will begin operations in 2013. It will be 10.8 kilometres (6.7 mi) long and will connect the Morumbi CPTM station and the Jabaquara metro station. The two sections will connect at the future Brooklin Paulista station, forming a "Y".[3]
The line will be operated as CBTC using Thales SelTrac technology, and is planned to open in June-July 2014. [4]
