Timetable and frequency

According to the SPTrans reference timetable, the 177H-10 runs Monday to Friday. Departures start from about 4 am (an approximate time that marks the start of the first hourly band) and continue until around 1 am, with roughly 61 departures per weekday.

In the morning peak, between 7 and 9 am, the shortest scheduled interval is 12 minutes. In the other bands of the day the intervals may be longer.

SPTrans open data contains no 177H-10 departures on Saturdays or Sundays. On public holidays service may differ from a normal weekday, so check Olho Vivo before you set off.

How long the trip takes

The full outbound trip, from Metrô Santana to the Cidade Universitária, has a scheduled time of 124 minutes for 25.3 km, just over two hours. That is the reference time for the whole route; if you board or get off midway, your trip will be shorter. With 75 outbound stops, the average is under two minutes per stop. At times of heavy traffic, allow extra time.

Main stops and connections

Both ends of the 177H-10 are terminals. In Santana, Terminal Santana (Metrô Santana in the line name) is the point for passengers arriving by or continuing on the Metrô. At the other end, Terminal USP is inside the Cidade Universitária, and the line has several campus stops named after faculties and buildings, which makes it easy to get off near your destination.

Along the way, the official list has no other stop identified as a Metrô or CPTM station. Useful landmarks are Av. Casa Verde, Pça. Mal. Deodoro, Av. Angélica, the Cemitério do Araçá, R. Card. Arcoverde (outbound) and R. Teodoro Sampaio (return).

• Do not plan on the 177H-10 on a Saturday or Sunday: according to SPTrans data, it only runs on weekdays.
