CBTU João Pessoa Cabedelo to Santa Rita

Cabedelo to Santa Rita runs from Cabedelo to Santa Rita and has 13 cataloged stops. Weekday and Saturday diesel VLT service.

The corridor descends from the nineteenth-century railway that reached João Pessoa and Cabedelo. Modern diesel VLT cars replaced older locomotive-hauled suburban trains. The present route opened through those stages.

Riding the line

The current flat fare is R$2.50. Buy through the staffed CBTU station process and keep cash available in case local payment options are limited.

Current rolling stock and ride conditions: Air-conditioned diesel light-rail vehicles use the existing railway. The ride is slow but gives a direct route through communities that are awkward to connect by road.

Neither endpoint should be assumed to include an internal transfer to another railway. João Pessoa is the central city stop. Cabedelo serves the port end of the line, while Santa Rita is the western terminus.

Accessibility: Platform height and boarding conditions vary. Ask CBTU about assistance before a trip that requires level boarding.

Service is concentrated on weekdays and part of Saturday. Check the dated timetable because long gaps make a missed departure expensive in time.
