It's slated for "October", which in Brazil means either in October, or by the end of the year at the latest, unless the deadline slips again... Frankly, I find it a bit pointless as it runs only 4 times a day (8am, 10am, 12pm and 10pm). Speaking of pointless, I just can't believe it took 20+ years to get the metro to GRU, and then it doesn't reach any terminals directly, but requires a transfer by bus.
