São Paulo bus 609F-10 (SPTrans): route map, stops and timetable

Bus 609F-10 is an SPTrans city bus line in São Paulo that links Chácara Santana with Terminal Princesa Isabel in the city centre. It is a long line, 24.0 km outbound: it starts on neighbourhood streets, calls at Estação João Dias, covers a long stretch of Av. das Nações Unidas, continues through a run of corridor stops and enters the centre along Av. Prestes Maia. The bus sign shows the full code, 609F-10, and people also search for “609F 10” or 609F/10. Below you will find the route in both directions section by section, the reference hours, trip time and how to track the bus in real time.

Route of the 609F-10

Chácara Santana. The bus starts on Av. Raquel Alves Moreira (stops at numbers 631 and 175) and runs along streets such as R. José Joaquim Gonçalves, R. Antônio Ramos Rosa, R. João Fernandes Camisa Nova Júnior and R. Geraldo Fraga de Oliveira. It then follows Av. Maria Coelho Aguiar (numbers 787, 573 and 85).

Estação João Dias and Av. das Nações Unidas. Next the line stops at Estação João Dias and joins Av. das Nações Unidas, where it runs a long section with more than ten stops, between numbers 16697 and 10695. At the end of that section comes the Mario Ferraz stop, and the bus passes along Av. Cidade Jardim (number 513).

Corridor stops. From there the 609F-10 continues through a series of named stops: João Cachoeira, Dr. Renato Paes de Barros, Marina Cintra, Guianas, Estados Unidos, José Maria Lisboa, Getúlio Vargas, 14 Bis and Museu Judaico de SP.

City centre. The final section passes the Galeria Prestes Maia stop, Av. Prestes Maia (number 488), Av. Sen. Queiros, the Rio Branco and São João stops, Pça. Júlio Mesquita, Al. Br. de Limeira and R. dos Guaianases, ending at Terminal Princesa Isabel.

A different return route. Towards Chácara Santana, the bus leaves Terminal Princesa Isabel via the Duque de Caxias, Ipiranga and Antonio de Godói stops and R. Cap. Salomão, repeats the corridor stops in reverse (Museu Judaico de SP back to João Cachoeira) and passes Cidade Jardim and Franz Schubert. Then, instead of Av. das Nações Unidas, it uses R. S. Bonifácio, Av. Alcides Sangirardi, Av. Magalhães de Castro and Av. Mj. Sylvio de Magalhães Padilha. It returns to Av. Maria Coelho Aguiar, runs through the same neighbourhood streets and Av. Candido José Xavier and ends on R. Artur José Inácio. The return trip does not stop at Estação João Dias. There are 52 stops outbound and 49 on the return.

Hours and frequency

According to the SPTrans reference timetable, the 609F-10 starts running from about 4:00 and the last departures are around midnight. The line runs every day, Monday to Sunday, with about 74 departures a day in that timetable.

In the morning peak, between 7:00 and 9:00, the shortest scheduled interval is 15 minutes. At other times the intervals may be longer.

SPTrans open data contain a single reference timetable per line, with intervals by time band, and only state which days the line runs. There is no separate Saturday or Sunday table, so weekends and holidays may have different times and intervals. Check Olho Vivo before you leave.

How long the trip takes

The full outbound trip, from Chácara Santana to Terminal Princesa Isabel, has a scheduled time of 143 minutes for 24.0 km, which is more than two hours. This is an SPTrans reference time; with traffic on Av. das Nações Unidas or in the centre, the trip can take longer. Partial trips, such as Chácara Santana to Estação João Dias, are much shorter.

Main stops and connections

The connections that appear in the line’s data are Estação João Dias, at the start of the outbound trip, and Terminal Princesa Isabel in the centre. Along the way, the most useful landmarks are the stops on Av. das Nações Unidas, Av. Cidade Jardim, the run of corridor stops from João Cachoeira to Museu Judaico de SP and the central stops such as Galeria Prestes Maia, Rio Branco and São João.

Fare and Bilhete Único

The basic fare on São Paulo city buses is R$ 5.30 (Brazilian reais), in force since 6 January 2026. With the Bilhete Único card you get a 3-hour integration window from your first tap to change buses without paying another basic fare.

If your trip combines a bus with the Metrô or CPTM (the metropolitan rail network), the integration costs R$ 9.38 in total. This applies, for example, if you get off the 609F-10 and continue by train or metro.

Tips for using the line

• Check the direction on the sign: the same code is shown with Terminal Princesa Isabel or Chácara Santana as destination.
• The two directions do not follow the same roads: outbound uses Av. das Nações Unidas and stops at Estação João Dias; the return uses Av. Magalhães de Castro and Av. Mj. Sylvio de Magalhães Padilha.
• Since the full trip takes more than two hours, allow for peak-hour traffic if you have an appointment in the centre.
• On weekends and holidays service may differ from the reference timetable; check Olho Vivo.
