Paulista-Pernambucanas is a metro station on Line 4-Yellow of the São Paulo Metro, operated by ViaQuatro, and it's located in the Consolação district. It has free connection with Consolação station of Line 2-Green, operated by São Paulo Metro. The station was renamed after a naming rights contract was signed between ViaQuatro and retail store company Pernambucanas in April 2023.

History

The first prediction of conclusion of the construction of the first phase stations, which included Paulista station, was 2008. Paulista station is 4 metres (13 ft) under the Line 2-Green tunnel. The excavation of the passage between the two stations in the hub, 30 metres (98 ft) below Paulista Avenue, caused heat in the operaries.

The station was initially scheduled to open in March 2010, but was delayed to 25 May 2010, day that the Line started its service, between Paulista and Faria Lima stations. The delay was caused by the train tests. With the start of the fee charge on 21 June 2010, the connection with Consolação station by moving walkway began.

Characteristics

Underground station with side platforms and support rooms above the ground, with structures in apparent concrete and distribution catwalk in metallic structure, fixated with braces above the platform. It has access for people with disabilities and connection with Consolação station, of Line 2-Green. Its capacity is 150,000 passengers per hour (referring to joint capacity with Consolação).

The 300 metres (980 ft) connection between Paulista and Consolação stations has moving walkways, the first of the São Paulo Metro. There are 6 walkways with 45 metres (148 ft) of length and 1.1 metres (3.6 ft) of width each, disposed two by two, made by ThyssenKrupp, with energy economy when there are no commuters on them, and no chains in the traction system, dispensing additional lubrication. The capacity of all the walkways are of 20,000 passengers per hour. In 2019, 4 moving walkways were removed by the São Paulo Metro, with the objective to reduce the passage time between both stations. The Metro and ViaQuatro agents, along with the commuters, informally called the crossing between the two stations as the "march of the penguins".

The station has 10 ViaQuatro attendance and maintenance agents and 10 attendance and security agents, beside ambulances.
