Oratório is a station on Line 15–Silver of the São Paulo Metro, opened on August 30, 2014. When concluded, the line will connect Vila Prudente to the district of Cidade Tiradentes.

Oratório station is placed in the confluence between Avenues Prof. Luis Inácio de Anhaia Melo and do Oratório, in the borough of Jardim Independência, district of São Lucas, in the Eastside of the city.

Currently, there are plans to privatize the line. Former Governor Geraldo Alckmin announced, in a reunion of the managing council of Public-Private Partnerships, that the lines 15-Silver and 17-Gold will be conceded to the private initiative, because of the financial difficulties of the state in the expansion and maintenance of the metropolitan network.
