Bruno Covas/Mendes-Vila Natal (CPTM)

Varginha will be a train station on ViaMobilidade Line 9-Emerald, in the district of Grajaú in São Paulo. It is part of a plan of the State Government to extend the Line Emerald in 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) towards south of the city, from Grajaú station. It is being rebuilt in the place where was located the old Varginha station, which belonged to the Jurubatuba branch, of the extinct FEPASA. The branch was deactivated by CPTM on November 2001, "due to infrastructure precariousness" of the line at the time, which was not compatible with the rest of the railway, nor with the new administrative policies adopted by the company during that period, as it aimed a "pattern elevation" of the services provided by the company, transforming Line C-Celeste (current Line 9-Emerald), just like other railways transferred to it, from suburban services to metropolitan services. Currently, Line 9 is the only which operates in this model, popularly known as "surface metro", as the railway is completely segregated from external interferences and the trains operate in a less than 5 minutes time between trains. Before being deactivated by CPTM, the station had an average movement of 30,000 passengers per day. Besides the station is named Varginha, referencing Jardim Varginha neighbourhood, located southeast of the station, the station building is in southwest of Vila Natal neighbourhood, in the limits with Jardim Guanabara, South Side of São Paulo.
