SP Rodízio Suspended During CPTM Strike

Is the São Paulo vehicle rotation suspended during the CPTM strike?

Yes. São Paulo's vehicle rotation restriction has been suspended for the full day on Wednesday due to the ongoing strike affecting CPTM Lines 11-Coral, 12-Safira, and 13-Jade. The measure allows all vehicles to circulate freely across the city regardless of their licence-plate number.

Which CPTM lines are on strike?

The work stoppage covers three suburban train lines operated by CPTM:

• Line 11-Coral – connecting the eastern zone to the city centre
• Line 12-Safira – linking the eastern suburbs to Brás station
• Line 13-Jade – connecting the city to Guarulhos International Airport

Passengers who depend on these lines are advised to seek alternative transport options, including metro, buses, and ride-hailing apps.

What is the vehicle rotation and why is it suspended?

The rodízio restricts cars from entering the expanded city centre during peak hours based on the final digit of their number plate. When a major public-transport disruption occurs, the city typically suspends the rodízio to ease pressure on the road network and give commuters more flexibility.

What should commuters do?

Plan extra travel time, check real-time updates from SPTrans and the São Paulo Metro, and consider leaving earlier or later to avoid peak congestion. Travellers heading to Guarulhos Airport via Line 13-Jade should arrange alternative transfers in advance.
