Line 15 (Silver) (Portuguese: Linha 15–Prata) is one of the six lines that make up the São Paulo Metro and one of the thirteen lines that make up the Metropolitan Rail Transportation Network. It is South America's first mass-transit monorail and is the first system in the world to use the Bombardier Innovia Monorail 300. When completed it will be the largest and highest capacity monorail system in the Americas and second worldwide only to the Chongqing Monorail.^[2] The first section, from Vila Prudente to Oratório, opened on 30 August 2014, initially running 10 AM–3 PM on weekends only.^[3] As of 26 October 2016, the line is operational from 4:40 AM–12 AM.^[4] The line has a free connection to Line 2-Green on Vila Prudente station and future connection to CPTM Line 10-Turquoise on Ipiranga station.^[5]

Built using completely driver-less technology,^[6] the line is currently 11.6 km (7.2 mi) long and has ten stations in the stretch between Vila Prudente and São Mateus. When complete, it will be approximately 27 kilometres (17 mi) long and have eighteen stations, beginning at Ipiranga and ending at the future . The proposed completion of the full line is projected to be beyond 2022.^[7]
