Line 6 (Orange) is a planned extension of the São Paulo Metro. When complete, it will be 15.9-kilometre (9.9 mi) long, with 15 stations, and will link the São Joaquim metro station (Line 1 (Blue)) to the district of Brasilândia. The branch is known as the "Colleges' line" as it will serve many of them along its route (FAAP, PUC-SP and Mackenzie University).

This new line will connect with Line 7 (Ruby) and Line 8 (Diamond) of Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos (CPTM) and lines Line 1 (Blue), Line 2 (Green) and Line 4 (Yellow) of the metro, linking the Northwest, West, Central, and Southeast regions of São Paulo., totaling 18.4 km in length with 17 stations. The anticipated demand for this line is 600,000 passengers per day. In 2008 it was predicted that the works would start by 2010, expected to start partial operations in 2012 and full operation by early 2015, but two years later it was expected that the project plans would be finalized only in 2011, with the first stations opening between 2013 and 2014 or as late as 2016, according to some engineers of the Metro.

On March 25, 2008, the State Governor and the mayor of São Paulo pledged to deliver the new metro line by 2012. The municipal government gave the State R$75 million to fund the preliminary designs for the construction of this line. In principle, the operation of the line will be the responsibility of the Metro, but there is still the possibility of creating a Public-Private Partnership, which was eventually confirmed.
