Mendes-Vila Natal (CPTM)

Bruno Covas/Mendes-Vila Natal, formerly Mendes-Vila Natal, or simply just Mendes or Vila Natal, is a train station on ViaMobilidade Linhas 8 e 9 Line 9-Emerald. It is part of the State Government plan to extend the line in 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) until the place where was located the old Varginha st

ation of the Jurubatuba branch, of the extinct FEPASA. The branch was deactivated by CPTM in the end of 2001 "due to infrastructure precariousness" of the line at the time. After the station opening, governor João Doria signed a state decree renaming the station after the late São Paulo mayor Bruno Covas, who died from cancer in May 2021.
