São Paulo Getting there & around

Getting around

Buses are slow, crowded during rush hours and not too safe. The main transfer points are Praça da República and the bustling Terminal Bandeiras. The tourist booths are excellent sources of bus information.

You can reach many places on the excellent metrô, São Paulo’s subway system. A combination of metrô and walking is the best way to see the city. The metrô is cheap, safe, fast and runs from 5am to midnight. A single ride costs US$1.
