The Japeri Line is a commuter rail line operated by SuperVia.
The line begins in Central do Brasil station and ends in Japeri station, where it's possible to transfer to trains of Paracambi Line.[1]
Due to the lower train fare when compared to intermunicipal buses running similar routes, it is the line with the highest demand, especially in station which connect the Baixada Fluminense with the North Side, the West Side and the Center of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The demand is high between the first five stations of this line and Central do Brasil, representing a significant amount of trips in the system.
