Franco da Rocha is a train station on CPTM Line 7-Ruby, located in Franco da Rocha.

History[]

The original station was opened by São Paulo Railway on 1 February 1888, named Juquery. Years later, it was renamed after Francisco Franco da Rocha, doctor responsible for the opening of Juqueri hospital complex.[1]

The new building is contemporary and adapted to people with disabilities, with tactile floor, adapted restrooms for wheelchairs, elevators and escalators.[2]
