Flooding on Line 7-Ruby of Tic Trens Causes Slow Operations

Flooding on the Line 7-Ruby of Tic Trens in Greater São Paulo on Sunday caused slow operations for train services on Monday.

Heavy rains that affected the Greater São Paulo region on Sunday led to flooding on the Line 7-Ruby of Tic Trens, resulting in significant delays for train operations on Monday morning. The operator, TIC Trens, reported reduced speeds and increased stop times between the Francisco Morato and Jundiaí stations since the service began at 4 AM. Passengers have experienced these delays along the entire line from Barra Funda to Jundiaí, with all users having to change trains at Francisco Morato due to the interruptions.

The heavy rainfall over the weekend caused multiple flooding points and damaged various track equipment, contributing to the disruptions noted at the start of the week. Passengers have expressed frustration over the increased travel times and operational inefficiencies, which are compounding the usual Monday morning rush. The operator has stated that maintenance crews have been working since Saturday night to restore full service but acknowledged the extensive impact of the weekend weather on their infrastructure.

As the situation continues to develop, passengers have been urged to stay updated on train schedules and potential delays while TIC Trens works to resume normal operations. The company has apologized for the inconveniences caused to travelers and emphasizes their commitment to addressing the challenges posed by the severe weather conditions affecting the rail service.
