Location
[edit]
Located in Avenida Cruzeiro do Sul, 2487,[2] in the district of Santana, North Side of São Paulo.

[edit]
It is an elevated station with structure in apparent concrete, prefabricated cover in concrete, and two side platforms.[2] It also has, besides the access, two gates on each side of the platforms, in a way that the passenger who leaves the train in a platform cannot take the train on the opposite side without paying another fee.
