 Sao Paulo's metro-systhem by mangueirense
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 :

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

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

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
