History[]

Lapa station was opened by São Paulo Railway on 20 February 1899. In 1947, SPR lines were transferred to the federal government, which created Santos-Jundiaí Railway (EFSJ). Later, EFSJ started the line electrification and rebuilt many stations, among them Lapa station, in the 1950s. In this decade, Lapa station of Sorocaba Railway was built, 500 metres (1,600 ft) away from the EFSJ station.

After the decay of commuter trains, in the 1970s and 1980s, the station was transferred in 1994 to CPTM, which started a small reform in it years later.

Projects[]

Due to the existence of two Lapa stations, separated by 500 metres (1,600 ft) and without any connection, CPTM elaborated a unification project. Besides the unification, the station should receive one more train line, 8-Diamond, and two Metro lines, 20-Pink (Lapa-Prefeito Saladino) and 23-Magenta (Lapa-Dutra).[1][2]
