Projects
Due to the existence of two Lapa stations, separated by and without any connection, CPTM elaborated a unification project. Besides the unification, the station should receive one more train line, 8-Diamond, and two Metro lines, 20-Pink (Lapa-Prefeito Saladino) and 23-Magenta (Lapa-Dutra).References
