Line 12-Safira of São Paulo's commuter rail operator CPTM is running at reduced speed, with longer intervals between trains, on the morning of Saturday, 7 November 2026. According to Diário do Transporte, citing CPTM, passengers should expect slower journeys and less frequent departures while the disruption lasts.
What is affected
The operator attributes the changes to technical problems in the power supply system. The disruption affects the section between Brás and Calmon Viana stations, which are both on the line's central stretch.
Replacement buses
To support passengers, buses from the PAESE emergency support plan were deployed between São Miguel Paulista and Jardim Romano stations. PAESE is the Plano de Apoio entre Empresas em Situação de Emergência, a coordinated arrangement that brings in other operators' vehicles when rail service is disrupted.
What passengers should know
According to the information released by CPTM, the speed reduction and wider gaps between trains are the result of the power system problems described above. The source does not provide a time for the end of the disruption, so riders are advised to check the operator's official channels for updates before travelling.
Line 12-Safira serves the eastern zone of the metropolitan area and connects with several other CPTM and metro lines. Passengers using the affected section may want to allow extra travel time and consider the replacement bus service between São Miguel Paulista and Jardim Romano while normal operation is restored.
