São Paulo Transportation Tips by mmanchack

Getting TO/AROUND: Sao Paulo is one of the largest cities in the world, so pedestrians don’t typically get very far. However, I’ve never seen more cars or more one-way, confusing streets than in Sao Paulo. If you can, I would highly recommend hiring a driver for your time in Sao Paulo (we did and it was WONDERFUL; see Joao in the photo). Buses and taxis might also be recommendable, but might get expensive. And don't forget the metro!

Getting TO/AROUND: 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!
