Route of the 917H-10

Leaving Terminal Pirituba. The line starts at Terminal Pirituba and runs along Av. Mutinga, where it makes nine stops. It then passes R. Pe. Aníbal Difrância, R. Ademar Martins de Freitas and Av. Elíseo Cordeiro de Siqueira and reaches Av. Cândido Portinari.

Remédios, Gastão Vidigal and Leopoldina. Via R. Antônio Airosa the bus reaches Av. dos Remédios, with three stops, and continues via R. Mj. Paladino to Av. Dr. Gastão Vidigal, where it calls at the Mergenthaler stop. Via R. Frobem it turns onto Av. Impz. Leopoldina and then Av. Queiroz Filho, with three stops each.

Cerro Corá and Heitor Penteado. Via Av. Diógenes Ribeiro de Lima, R. Pio XI and R. S. Domingos Sávio, the 917H-10 reaches R. Cerro Corá, where it makes six stops, and continues along R. Heitor Penteado, with seven, to Av. Dr. Arnaldo.

Av. Paulista and Vila Mariana. After the stops on Av. Dr. Arnaldo, the bus calls at the Faculdade de Saúde Pública da USP and Faculdade de Medicina da USP stops and turns onto Av.

Timetable and frequency

According to the SPTrans reference timetable, the 917H-10 runs every day. Departures start from about 4 am (an approximate time that marks the start of the first hourly band) and continue until around midnight, with roughly 114 departures a day.

In the morning peak, between 7 and 9 am, the shortest scheduled interval is 10 minutes. In the other bands of the day the intervals may be longer.

SPTrans open data has a single reference timetable for the line and only lists the days it runs. There is no separate weekend schedule, so on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays times may be different. Check Olho Vivo before you set off.

How long the trip takes

The full outbound trip, from Term. Pirituba to Metrô Vl. Mariana, has a scheduled time of 150 minutes for 25.3 km, two and a half hours. That is the reference time for the whole route; if you only ride one section, for example between R. Heitor Penteado and Av. Paulista, it will take much less. With 70 outbound stops, the average is just over two minutes per stop. At times of heavy traffic, allow extra time.

Main stops and connections

Both ends of the 917H-10 are terminals: Terminal Pirituba, the starting point, and Terminal Metrô Vila Mariana, the end of the outbound trip, which links the line with the Metrô. Along the way, the official list has no other stop identified as a Metrô or CPTM station.

Named stops include Mergenthaler, Faculdade de Saúde Pública da USP, Faculdade de Medicina da USP and, on the return, Frei Caneca and Teodoro Sampaio. The Av. Paulista section is the main landmark if you are heading to that area.

How to see where the bus is (Olho Vivo)
