Location

Oratório is a station onLine 15–Silver of theSão Paulo Metro,^[2] opened on August 30, 2014. When concluded, the line will connectVila Prudente to the district of Cidade Tiradentes.

Oratório station is placed in the confluence between Avenues Prof. Luis Inácio de Anhaia Melo and do Oratório, in the borough of Jardim Independência, district of São Lucas, in the Eastside of the city.^[3]

Currently, there are plans to privatize the line. Former GovernorGeraldo Alckmin announced, in a reunion of the managing council of Public-Private Partnerships, that the lines 15-Silver and 17-Gold will be conceded to the private initiative, because of the financial difficulties of the state in the expansion and maintenance of the metropolitan network.^[4][5]

Initially, the station would be the terminus of Line 2-Green in its east branch. However, the project was cancelled when Metro announced their new project: Line 2 would reach to stationTatuapé, connecting toLine 3-Red. Later, the project was changed again to stationPenha, but station Oratório was still cancelled.

Following that, the station was transferred to the futureLine 6-Orange, where it would be its terminus. However, the line was expanded and its terminus station was changed to Cidade Líder, and this branch didn't include station Oratório. After that, it would be part of a branch line, named Oratório Branch (Ramal Oratório), which also included station Vila Alpina, but the project didn't move on. Only in 2009, a project was announced and finally moved on: Line 2-Green would have an extension to Cidade Tiradentes Hospital, in an elevated monorail, replacingExpresso Tiradentes, which was cancelled.

The construction of station Oratório began in April 2010, while Vila Prudente was already under construction since December 2009. Posteriorly, in 2011, the pre-working phase of the next station, São Lucas, began. The first branch, which included stations Vila Prudente and Oratório, had their opening scheduled for the second semester of 2013, while station São Lucas was scheduled to 2014.

The Line 15-Silver was officially openen on August 30, 2014, initially in restrict operating hours, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Later, its working time was extended. The trains started circulating from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. From November 20 and on, Line 15 started working from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. between the two stations. Only since October 26, 2016, the line started working in its normal time, from 4 a.m. to midnight.

This working time limitations were necessary, so the equipment and systems test protocols could be concluded, because it was a new system at the time, besides ensuring the users security and the line operation.^[6][7]
