Line 11-Coral Service Remains Slowed as CPTM Deploys Emergency Buses

The slowdown follows catenary damage from a pantograph entanglement near Corinthians-Itaquera.

Overview

  • CPTM reports reduced speeds and longer-than-normal intervals on Wednesday morning, with official averages of 8 minutes on outer segments and 16 minutes between Tatuapé and Corinthians-Itaquera.
  • Passengers say waits are often longer than the posted averages, with extended station stops continuing during the morning commute.
  • The Paese plan is active with 28 buses from 5:30 a.m. between Corinthians-Itaquera and Tatuapé, and transfers at both stations remain open.
  • The disruption began at 10:35 a.m. Tuesday, produced intervals of roughly 17 minutes toward Guaianases and 34 minutes toward Estudantes, and led to crowded platforms and spillover to Metro Lines 1 and 3.
  • Technicians worked through the night to restore service and CPTM apologized, while operational responsibility remains with CPTM during the pre-operational concession phase to Trivia Trens.
