TC-Linha 4 Amarela, the joint venture of Tiisa Infraestrutura, Investimentos S/A and Comsa S/A has been selected, among 10 other offers, to complete the second phase of the metro driveless Line 4 in Sao Paulo. The value of the contract is EUR223.20 million (BRL858.74 million). The second phase comprises the completion of the two-station western section of the line from Butanta to Vila Sonia. This line is currently already used by trains travelling to and from the depot. Also part of the contract is the completion of three intermediate stations on the initial operating section between Butanta and Luz.

Line 4-Yellow began operating at full capacity in October 2011 with six stations - Butanta, Pinheiros, Faria Lima, Paulista, Republica and Luz, which made up the first phase of the operation.

The joint venture of Isolux-Corsan and Corvium was awarded the phase 2 contract in 2012, but the agreement was terminated last July after the contractor failed to complete the works on schedule. Only one of the stations, Fradique Coutinho, was completed before the contract was terminated.

The second phase was launched with the delivery of Fradique Coutinho station on the 15.11.2014. There are four new stations under construction. Services are expected to begin operating fully to Sao Paulo-Morumbi and Vila Sonia in 2019.

When the second phase is completed, Line 4-Yellow will be 12.8 km long and have 11 stations, linking the Luz station region, in the city center, to the Vila Sonia neighborhood, in the West region.
