The Line 14 - Onyx of the São Paulo Metro Rail Transport Network, also known as East Arc,^[1] is a projected Light rail line that will connect the cities of Guarulhos and Santo André, passing through the East Zone of São Paulo.^[2] The branch is characterized as a perimeter connection line, encircling the urban center and connecting to other existing and future railway lines and to the peripheral areas of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region.^[3]^[4]

History

Line 14 - Onyx (Portuguese: Linha 14–Ônix), formerly called the Airport Express, was first proposed as a line of the Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos commuter rail system in São Paulo, Brazil which would originally connect the São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport to Brás Station. The line was planned to have an average interval of six minutes between each station.^[5]

On May 9, 2013, the Governor of São Paulo Geraldo Alckmin cancelled the former project, as it seemed no longer viable due to the Federal Government project to establish the Rio–São Paulo high-speed rail. Line 14 would have a special fare estimated in R$ 30.00 (ten times higher than the normal CPTM fare, R$ 3.00 as of 2013). Alternatively the planned Line 13 (Jade) shall be extended up to the airport and keeping the same standard fare prevailing in all CPTM's lines. ^[6]

Although the State Government says that the current plan is to finish the constructions in progress, some preliminary details were revealed about the stations and character of the line.^[7]

On April 5, 2024, the Governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, announces the new route of Line 14 Onyx between Bonsucesso in Guarulhos and Jardim Irene in Santo André.
