The government of the Brazilian federal state of São Paulo (SP) has presented the investment programme called SP on Rails with a volume of €34.1 billion (BRL 194 billion). The programme comprises over 40 projects in the intercity, suburban, metro, and light rail transit (LRT) sectors with a total length of over 1,000 km. Nine projects have already been approved by the State Secretariat for Investment Partnerships SPI, including the northern axis of the TIC intercity network. The northern axis will entrust the C2 Mobilidade Sobre Trilhos consortium with the modernisation of the 101 km São Paulo – Campinas line. This will be carried out as part of a public-private partnership (PPP).
