It is available since October 3, 2018 the special service Connect, which consists of trains between Brás Station and Guarulhos Airport Station during peak hours (from 5:40am to 8:20am and from 5:20pm to 8:00pm), with no need to exchange trains on Engenheiro Goulart Station, offering direct access to São Paulo city center and also easier connections to other subway lines. There is no special fare for this service.[4] The total route of the Connect service consists of 5 stations and is 21.7 km (13.5 mi) long.[1]

There are also express trains between Luz Station and Guarulhos Airport Station during specific timetables: 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm and 10pm from Luz towards the Airport and 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 9pm from the Airport towards Luz. There is a convenience fare for this service, currently $8,60 BRL ($2.22 USD), twice the price of normal fare.[5]

Future expansion

Original plans for Line 13 consisted of an underground route from Engenheiro Goulart to Chácara Klabin via the city centre,[6] however this is expected to be replaced by using existing overground tracks from Engenheiro Goulart to Luz Station. A northward extension is planned from the airport to Bonsuccesso in Guarulhos.
