 Sao Paulo's metro-systhem by mangueirense The easiest way to get around Sao Paulo is to use the metro system. There are three main lines: the North-South line, East-West line, and the one that just travels underneath the Avenida Paulista, bedsides the 4 newest expansion lines. The two main lines converge at Sa station, the busiest station of all. These two lines run daily from 5am until midnight. The line under Avenida Paulista meets the North-South line at Paraiso and Ana Rosa stations and runs daily from 6am to 10pm. It is usually a lot quicker to take the metro as close as possible to your destination even if it means a bit more of a walk or maybe a short taxi ride than taking the bus all the way. Metro tickets cost R$1.90 for a single ride and R$3,60 for two rides; a 10-ride ticket is available for R$ 17,00. They can be purchased from ticket machines or from kiosks at every metro station. The tickets are magnetic strips you insert in the turnstile; buying multiple ride tickets saves money and time. For more information contact the : Companhia do Metropolitano de S?o Paulo - Metr?

To see everything in the center of S?o Paulo and Paulista (MASP, P?tio do Col?gio, Catedral da S?, etc.) the subway is the best way - traffic can be very heavy and buses are infrequent and badly mantained. The subway is safe, regular and easy to use (just 5 lines and there are maps on every station showing where they intersect and the stations). There are also maps of the surrounding area with interesting spots marked so you can find your way around when you get off. But it does get very crowded during rush hour... Theme: Subway/Metro

The São Paulo Metro (subway) which I have used occasionally ( because I live comfortably very close to a Metro station ) is as good and modern as any in , say, Europe. It's surprisingly very clean , grafitti free , fast and , as mentioned , modern.... There are so far few lines ( actually only three , north - south , east - west and the short line under Ave. Paulista but they start to integrate two or three city train lines into the Metro system ) and they're now constructing full blast a new , the "yellow", line which will run centrally towards the Marginal Pinheiros , Butantã and maybe beyond..... This is not so good for me at the moment because they had to close the street where I have my business ( see restaurant tip re tacos, tequila and live mariachi music ) and as far as I know , the street will stay blocked for at least two years or more and my turnover has allready dropped pretty much.... On the other hand once everything is finished my business will be right one short block from a super modern Metro station.... Let's see.... Theme: Subway/Metro

by miromi the Metro is one of the cleanest and most efficient I've ever seen, but unfortunately it's not so expansive . the Bus services the rest, but people told me that it could get very dangerous to ride the bus at night. Learn enough Portuguese to negotiate with a taxi driver; it's completely stressful if you don't! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

by bichara Getting around Sao Paulo is easy! Get the metro and you won't be disappointed. Just make sure you prepare to face the buzz of one of the most modern and hectic major cities in the world. Avenida Paulista, picture on the left, is an example of how this city never stops! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Metro: São Paulo has a Metrosystem, which is only good for the very center. But it is better to leave the car outside the Centre (on a place with security)(for Example Jardins Paulista) and take the Metro which is safe during the day. But be carefull if the train is full (pickpocket) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

by VTShounen The metro is great. It takes you pretty much everywhere you need to go. Fast, clean, safe, and efficient. The major bus stations (Terminal Rodoviário - for destinations in other parts of Brazil) are situated at metro stations. There are several bus stations around the city, so be sure to know which station your bus is leaving from and at what time! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

by mmanchack São Paulo's metrô is clean, quiet, and fast, and the easiest way to move around the city; however, it is limited to just three lines. Because of this the travel capabilities are truly limited; if you can use it to get where you want to go, though, it's great. You can also buy integrated bus/metrô tickets, as many buses stop at the metrô stations, with the names of their destinations well marked. Stations: The north-south line has terminals at Santana and Jabaquara (the Rodoviária from where buses to Santos depart) and also serves the Tietê Rodoviária and Luz train station. One of the east-west lines has terminals at Corinthians-Itaquera and Barra Funda, and intersects with the north-south line at Praça da Sé. The shorter east-west line crosses underneath Avenida Paulista from Ana Rosa to Clinicas stopping at the Museu de Arte (Trianon-Masp station). Good luck! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
