History
editWhen they were delivered in April 2014, the Series 9000 trais operated only on Line 11-Coral, with the objective to enhance the rail transport in São Paulo for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[3] However, on 11 September 2018, the compositions began operating on Line 13-Jade.[4] In December 2018, one train made tests on Line 12-Sapphire, and a year later, the class began operating on it.
This series was completely certified for full operational service (including peak hours) in the beginning of 2015, but the prototype unit (T01) was the last one to be delivered.[5]
