It was scheduled to open on March 2010, but delays in the constructions prevented the opening,[3] that became unknown until being scheduled, with 3 days in advance, to 21 August 2010.[4] The passenger boarding, however, began only 2 days later, on Monday. In this first day of supervised operation, 7,400 passengers were transported in 6 hours, and more than 100 people crowded that station's entrance before it opened at 9:30 a.m. There were setbacks: in the first trip, the platform screen doors didn't open immediately in Sacomã station, problem solved quickly; and, the largest failure, there were misalignment of the train doors with the station doors, decreasing the space to leave the vehicles.

During the first week, the supervised operation time was from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.; from the second week and on, the time was expanded until 4 p.m.[5] With the opening of Tamanduateí station, it worked Mon-Fri, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.,[6] time expanded to between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. since 30 September 2010[7] and between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. since 5 February 2011, when began the bill of the fare.[8] Besides it, the station was kept in supervised operation. The time was extended again on 19 March 2011, from 4:40 a.m. to 9 p.m. According to the Metro, the time was not extended until midnight because there were 300 hours of tests to be executed in the signaling system.

Local residents who talked to Jornal da Tarde on April 2011 complained about a supposed increased of criminality in the surroundings of the station, as criminals were being attracted by the Metro users' cars parked in the region. "We didn't have this thing here", complained one of them. "It was a very calm region."[9] The Military Police, however, said they didn't notice significant increase in the number of incidents.

Since 12 September 2011, the time was extended until midnight, same time as the other Metro stations.[10] The expectation was that the 3 additional hours would increase in 2% the number of the line passengers.[11]

On 30 August 2014, the station of the Line 15–Silver was opened, with the extension of the working time and connection with Line 2–Green on 20 December.

The Vila Prudente Terminal is a bus terminal in the city of São Paulo. Part of the project SISTRAN (network of 280 km of trolleybuses) of the City Hall of São Paulo, was one of the first bus terminals of the city, opened on 31 March 1980, along with Paes de Barros Corridor, first of the city.[12][13]

The first terminal was composed of light structures pre-molded of concrete with aluminium roof tiles and was supposed to connected trolleybuses lines with buses moved by diesel. With the construction of the Vila Prudente station, the terminal was demolished on 23 March 2013, and a new temporary terminal was built in the surroundings.[14]

The current terminal was project by architect Luiz Carlos Esteves in 2008, originally as terminal of the BRT Expresso Tiradentes. After that, his project was adapted to connect with terminals of lines 2–Green and 15–Silver of the Metro.

The first phase of the terminal was opened, under criticism, on September 2017. The second part of the terminal (central and south structures, under the monorail station) was opened to the population on 11 May 2019,[15] and officially inaugurated on 20 May 2019.[16]
