History[edit]

The first projects of bus corridors to Guarulhos were made in the 1980s by EMTU, with the objective of connecting Line 1 - Blue with Guarulhos. In the beginning of the 2000s, the project TEU (Urban Express Transport) was launched, which predicted the connection of Tucuruvi, Vila Galvão, Vila Endres, Taboão and International Airport.^[2] Besides being included in the Urban Transports Integrated Plan (PITU), the project was paralyzed for years because of lack of funds until being divided in 5 phases:^[3]

Phase I - Taboão-CECAP
Phase II - CECAP-Vila Galvão
Phase III - Vila Endres-Penha (Tiquatira)
Phase IV - Vila Galvão-Tucuruvi
Phase V - Taboão-São João

Currently, only Phases I and IV are concluded, while Phase II is partially concluded. Phase III is paralyzed due to negotiations with the Prefecture of Guarulhos and Phase V is in project.^[4]^[5]
