The southern section of the line, between Largo Treze and Capão Redondo was completed in 2002 and was envisioned as a railway line of the CPTM called Line G. The project was transferred to the São Paulo Metro and renamed to Line 5 - Lilac. A northern extension connecting it with the rest of the São Paulo Metro network started construction 2009 with a completion deadline of 2013.[3] The project stalled due to issues with property acquisition and restarted in 2011.[4] The completion deadline of the extension has been delayed several times, but it has been reached on 8 April 2019.[5]

The line operates with 25 trains (out of 26 available)[7] and is made-up by 17 stations, transporting about 600,000 people every business day.[2] Eight additional trains are expected to be added to the line in 2020, after CBTC installation and other enhancements are completed.[8]

It was the first line in the Sao Paulo Metro to utilize a 1500 V tension Catenary, Standard Gauge, beside trains with IGBT power conversion and 1.60 m (5 ft 3 in) wide doors.[9] Santo Amaro station was the first in Brazil to be built on a cable-stayed bridge.[10]
