brandi November 15th, 2004, 02:23 PM SÃO PAULO – Urban Rails
São Paulo's is among the younger metros in the world and it's considered one of the most modern although today's extension does not cover all areas of this populous city. The metro network (Lines 1-3, 49 km) is complemented by a 270 km suburban network operated by CPTM (Lines A-F). Two new subway lines must be concluded in 2006 and the total network will reach 340 km. The metro runs underground through the city centre but on elevated structures or at grade in outer areas. To reduce the cost of new construction the decision was taken to upgrade some suburban lines to metro standard to provide more frequent service. This was already finished along Line E > 6, which serves the eastern neighbourhoods of the city and operates like an express metro parallel to Line 3, and on Line C > 7, although both lines are still operated by CPTM.

thank you very much to let me know how is the metro in Sao Paulo. I seems clean with a good service :)
:okay:
Küsel November 15th, 2004, 09:01 PM Really great pics!!!!
So the line 4 is not open yet? Is there a date proposed for the opening? That means that there is still the Ponte Orca?
I love the Vila Olimpia, Barra Funda, Se - and especially the bridge-tunnel station of Sumare (nice few!) a lot.
elfreako November 17th, 2004, 06:54 AM http://img3.exs.cx/img3/4232/Liberdade_Station_Japanese_Add.jpg
WTF? Looks like Tokyo!!!
Anyway, SP needs at LEAST another 10 subway lines like Mexico City. I was really surprised how pathetically small SP's subway network is.

GENIUS LOCI November 19th, 2004, 02:28 PM GREAT PICS:okay:
The stations seem furnished like Milan metro Line 2!
Same pavement, same panels, same types, even same colour (green for Line 2 in Milan)...
Don't you know if they commissioned the construction of the stations, or only their furnishment,at MM spa (Metropolitana Milanese), the ingeneering society of Milan metro?
Fabio January 26th, 2005, 07:38 PM really great pics, it's a pity the metro is so small in Sao Paulo.
:okay:
mopc February 2nd, 2005, 05:43 PM Hi, I'm Mauricio Carvalho and I'm the author of the São Paulo pics above, which I donated to the Urbanrail.net site. I have many more pics, and a lot of information on São Paulo and its rail network. E-mail me or pm me if you want.
I would like the Australian guy to repost his Sydney station pic, because the link is broken. I've always known that São Paulo's Luz Station was exactly like Sydney's station, but I have never seen Sydney Station... so please!
FM7 February 5th, 2005, 03:20 AM Nice pics, lots of variety, people, city, crowds. Thanks for sharing them.
mopc February 6th, 2005, 07:05 PM Really great pics!!!!
So the line 4 is not open yet? Is there a date proposed for the opening? That means that there is still the Ponte Orca?
Yes, Ponte Orca is still there, even though it was almost abolished because of bureaucratic garbage.
Line 4 is in its inital phase of construction, schedule to open commercially by 2007 only five of the eleven stations will exist at this stage - Luz, Republica, Paulista (linked with Consolacao) Pinheiros and Butanta. These are vital because they are the ones that connect line 4 with the other lines - line four intersect all but line 5.
Line 2 (green, Paulista line) is being extended eastward to the Ipiranga region, three stations will open in 2006: Chácara Klabin, Imigrantes and Ipiranga. Then it will go on to Sacomã station, then the line intersects with CPTM line D at Tamaduateí station, where it proceeds to Vila Prudente station. These two last stations still have no schedule to open.
Line 5 will be extende to Santa Cruz and Chácara Klabin stations, gaining some 10 underground stations... its gonna be huge but I dont see it happening before 2012.
mopc February 6th, 2005, 07:40 PM Hm, now I see the Sydney station pic..... it doesnt look like Luz at all! And its uglier too... weird, I was told Luz and Sydney central were exact copies.
Edit: Some more pics of Sao Paulo metro

New Line 2 train, made in Brazil
São Paulo is Brazil's largest city with some 11 million inhabitants. Its first metro line opened in 1974 (line 1) and then lines 3 (1978) and line 2 (1991), but by then Brazil's financial crises stopped metro construction and the city's complementary, much older suburban rail system (now under CPTM) was in a state of chaos and abandonment.
By the late 90's Brazil's situation improved and the first actions to be taken to solve São Paulo's mass transit problems were to upgrade the CPTM system, which by 1995 transported some 500,000 passangers a day, but now transports over 2,000,000.
New trains were bought, replacing the old ones, which were refurbished, increasing supply of trains:
http://www.newscomex.com/adm/fotos/noticia_10011.jpg
New Alstom train for CPTM line 9 (made in Brazil), about 100 new trains are coming!
Now the city's, the state's and the nation's situation improved so many projects were revived and new projects were created.
Currently three lines are under construction/extension:
Line 4 is completely new and will open partially in 2010, with 6 stations and the remaining 5 stations by 2012.
Line 2 is being extended eastward and three new stations will open in 2010 (one maybe still this year)
Line 5 is being extended northward and 10 new stations will be added, greatly improving this now still isolated line.
As you can see from today's (2009) map:
http://www.urbanrail.net/am/spau/sao-paulo-map.gif
Line five is only connected to line 9 and kind of form a "second metro system" almost separated from the rest (the gray lines in this map are metro too).
Line 4 will greatly improve this as it will connect line 9 to the central part of the system, drastically improving mobility in the city.
The expansion of line 2 to the east will also create a new connection at Tamanduateí, with CPTM line 10, also vastly enriching travel possibilities and undoing the system's current bottleneck at its central sections.
Planned extensions for 2017 (I would be happy enough if half of that is actually built by that year :cheers:)

Click here (http://www.urbanrail.net/am/spau/Rede_SP_2017.png)for a full view of this map.
The system today transports over 5 million passengers a day (Metro Company: 3 million, CPTM: 2 million) but since many only consider the Metro Company as actual metro, São Paulo is usually ranked lower in international comparisons. The truth is both systems operate full metros, with headways below 10 minutes and fully segregated tracks, aside from complete tariff integration (no pay to go from one system to the other).
São Paulo's metro operates at a flat rate of around 1.30 USD per trip regardless of length, time of day, day of week or number of transfers. An electronic rechargeable metro card is the most used physical ticket in the system (called Bilhete Único). There is a small discount for frequency.
http://cotidianosantanaemfoco.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/b_unico02.jpg
The current under-construction expansions are expected to increase ridership to almost 6 million by late 2010 and will add yet another 3 million by 2017, resulting in a daily week-day ridership of 9 million passengers a day, rivalling giants such as Tokyo and Moscow (and Beijing and Shanghai in the near future).
The expansions include three monorail lines, which if materialized would endow Sao Paulo with the world's largest monorail system.

Train at Hebraica Rebouças Station, line 9 (CPTM, 2000). This line for the most part follows the Pinheiros river and is entirely at grade, totalling 34 km and 18 stations. Like all CPTM lines, it was formerly a regular railroad line for general purposes but has now been converted for metro-only uses. It transports only some 200,000 passengers a day because it still needs line 4 to connect it to the central part of the system. Ridership will rise to at least 600,000 a day by late 2010. New trains have been bought.

CPTM train (line 9) - new "red" livery (Alstom made in Brazil)
Küsel February 7th, 2005, 12:59 PM Thanks for the metro info! At least it goes fast - here it would take another 10 years only to go through the planning and burocratic phase... The want to make an additional tram line here for years - maybe it will open in 2010 (planning started in the end 90s...) When I think that I was first in Osasco in early 2002 and then again one year later - boom! There was the Rodoanel!!! Increadable. I also wonder how far they are with the Tiete restauration...
Klas August 9th, 2005, 04:04 PM wow nice thread , more pictures pls

DaDvD August 9th, 2005, 09:55 PM Nice trains and transport system, although it needs heavy expansion!
Rene Nunez September 2nd, 2005, 09:16 AM Very modern/minimalist subway. I love it! I was wondering whether it is ever overused/ as in always crowded? Does it have a huge ridership?
deli September 2nd, 2005, 11:29 AM very very nice pic for a wonderful metro system. thanx for sharing!!!
cal_t September 2nd, 2005, 08:00 PM Does it not have air con on some of the trains?
mopc September 10th, 2005, 02:45 AM Yes, line 5 has air conditioning, as well as lines 7 and 6.
You people want more pictures??? Well, it took me two whole days to take the above pitcures, I do have more in my hard disk, I might post them soon, those the above are the best.
I might go to São Paulo some other day to take pictures of remote, very little known lines. Line A, in the north of the city is especially interesting with old British-style station like Luz, only small, and even older, from circa 1885 (Luz is from 1901).
Next march line green 2 will gain two new stations and a third one in September, so be prepared, besides line F will be revamped and also gain 3 new stations within a year from now or so. Line D´s extreme south is also interesting, with old stations. Brace yourselves for a whole new batch of São Paulo metro pics by MOPC!!!!
Falubaz September 10th, 2005, 11:45 AM of course we DO want more pics!!!
can't wait
mopc September 11th, 2005, 12:44 AM I´m itching to take new pics, especially of the northern and western lines!

New Line 2 train, made in Brazil
I'm opening this thread on the São Paulo metro system as there hasn't been any for a while in this section and there has been a lot of developments in the system, especially when it comes to current construction and future plans.
As you might know, São Paulo is Brazil's largest city with some 11 million inhabitants. Its first metro line opened in 1974 (line 1) and then lines 3 (1978) and line 2 (1991), but by then Brazil's financial crises stopped metro construction and the city's complementary, much older suburban rail system (now under CPTM) was in a state of chaos and abandonment.

Line 4 is completely new and will open partially in 2010, with 6 stations and the remaining 5 stations by 2012.
Line 2 is being extended eastward and three new stations will open in 2010 (one maybe still this year)
Line 5 is being extended northward and 10 new stations will be added, greatly improving this now still isolated line.
As you can see from today's (2009) map:
http://www.urbanrail.net/am/spau/sao-paulo-map.gif
Line five is only connected to line 9 and kind of form a "second metro system" almost separated from the rest (the gray lines in this map are metro too).
Line 4 will greatly improve this as it will connect line 9 to the central part of the system, drastically improving mobility in the city.
The expansion of line 2 to the east will also create a new connection at Tamanduateí, with CPTM line 10, also vastly enriching travel possibilities and undoing the system's current bottleneck at its central sections.
Planned extensions for 2017 (I would be happy enough if half of that is actually built by that year :cheers:)

The system today transports over 5 million passengers a day (Metro Company: 3 million, CPTM: 2 million) but since many only consider the Metro Company as actual metro, São Paulo is usually ranked lower in international comparisons. The truth is both systems operate full metros, with headways below 10 minutes and fully segregated tracks, aside from complete tariff integration (no pay to go from one system to the other).
São Paulo's metro operates at a flat rate of around 1.30 USD per trip regardless of length, time of day, day of week or number of transfers. An electronic rechargeable metro card is the most used physical ticket in the system (called Bilhete Único). There is a small discount for frequency.
http://cotidianosantanaemfoco.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/b_unico02.jpg
The current under-construction expansions are expected to increase ridership to almost 6 million by late 2010 and will add yet another 3 million by 2017, resulting in a daily week-day ridership of 9 million passengers a day, rivalling giants such as Tokyo and Moscow (and Beijing and Shanghai in the near future).
The expansions include three monorail lines, which if materialized would endow Sao Paulo with the world's largest monorail system.

Like all CPTM lines, it was formerly a regular railroad line for general purposes but has now been converted for metro-only uses. It transports only some 200,000 passengers a day because it still needs line 4 to connect it to the central part of the system. Ridership will rise to at least 600,000 a day by late 2010. New trains have been bought.

DanielFigFoz October 18th, 2009, 07:10 PM Very interesting!
siamu maharaj October 19th, 2009, 05:28 PM Did you mean 3 decades?
mopc October 19th, 2009, 08:18 PM ^^ heheh I should have know it would be confusing!
I meant to highlight the fact that what is NOW a metro system uses stations and rail that span three centuries: 19th, 20th and 21st.
The older stations were regular train stations but now are the metro. Nonetheless, the system is the result of a very long process that started around 1864, the creation of Sao Paulo's railroads.
I should have made it more clear in the opening post, sorry!
coquito October 19th, 2009, 08:45 PM ^^ I thought the same. That you meant three decades but as I starting reading your comments, I got your point that it was to illustrate the three different centuries but even so it gives the idea that we are talking about nearly 300 years while the 3 diff centuries may only cover 150 yrs of history. Good job though. I really hope the METRO becomes a viable mass-transit solution to Sao Paulo's congestion issues.
Tiago Costa October 19th, 2009, 09:48 PM It is already a viable solution, and it will be more and more in the future.
First of all, congratulations for the excellent thread! I liked, I just would suggest to use more recent photos available, since some photos are very outdated (Line 9 stations, for example).
Just some considerations about the initial post:

Actually, ridership will increase to 400,000-450,000 riders/day in late 2010, and only with the new trains purchased recently, wich will be manufactured soon.

PLANNED IN THE 60'S AND APPROVED IN 1996, construction finally began in August 2004. The line will relieve the city's horrible lack of connectivity in the Southwest, and will transport some 1 million passengers/day.
The line is scheduled to be delivered in three phases:
PHASE 1 (2010)= main connection stations (4), yard, Butantã Faria Lima station
PHASE 2 (2012)= other 4 stations (which will be left half-finished in 2010)

jlingoa March 15th, 2010, 06:57 PM !!!Great, great photos!!! Which stations will be opening in April??
mopc March 16th, 2010, 12:04 AM ^^ Paulista and Faria Lima only.But they are desperate to open at least partially until March 30, when the current state governor no longer will be able to participate in openings or leave plaques with his name - he will be a candidate for the federal government... they're talking about "assisted operations" by March 26, probably with very limited opening hours.
Everything is behind schedule, The main transfer stations of Luz, Republica, Pinheiros will only open after July, I'd say October (election month...) so line 4 will be of little use until then...

I sugest watching it on youtube to view it widescreen in HD! Apparently this same model still operates in the Paris Metro. In Sao Paulo they appeared between 1978 and 1981. They are the longest compositions in the city's metro today, with 12 cars.

Hhehe I know very little of the nature of those tours, you see, in the ranking of most rail-crazed forumers, I rank around 76th.
You have to hang around the Brazilian Rail Infrastructure Forum
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1880
Every now and then one of the forumers (especially Tiago Costa) organizes such visits to both CPTM and Metro, you have to participate in the specific thread of the visit and say you want to attend. Those are arranged private visits probably granted to SSC fanatics two or three times a year. Since there are many left out, there might be an other one in a few months.

As the forumer said above, sometime in April, although there are many delays and some people speculate it might be May, but only two stations will open now, the remaining 9 will open later:
Republica, Luz, Pinheiros, Butantã will open later this year, closing phase I.
Phase II stations were always slated to open at least two years after phase I is complete, which means stations Higienopolis, Oscar Freire, Fradique Coutinho and Morumbi will open by 2012 or later.

O Metrô de São Paulo é o melhor das Américas (Best Metro Americas), de acordo com a The Metros, principal premiação do setor metroviário no mundo.
O anúncio foi feito durante a conferência MetroRail 2010, que reuniu em Londres, 250 executivos, representantes de 70 companhias de metrô de 40 países.
O júri, formado por especialistas de publicações como BBC News, Metro Report International, Passenger Focus e Spitfire Consultancy, escolheu o Metrô-SP pelos seguintes critérios: cobertura da rede, integração com outros sistemas de transportes, frequência, eficiência e segurança dos serviços, níveis de serviço ao cliente, avaliação do serviço e do preço pelo cliente, condições gerais como acessibilidade, segurança pública e operacional, altos níveis de confiabilidade e alto padrão de desempenho, inovação tecnológica, considerações e contribuições ambientais.
Segundo o presidente do Metrô-SP, José Jorge Fagali, a premiação é um reconhecimento da excelência dos serviços prestados. "Operando desde 1974, a companhia atualmente passa por um período de inovações, com significativos investimentos na expansão e modernização da rede, que somam R$ 11 bilhões no período entre 2007 e 2010".
A conferência escolheu o metrô de Londres como o melhor da Europa e o de Cingapura o da Ásia-Pacífico. Realizado anualmente, o evento tem o objetivo de promover a troca de conhecimento e intercâmbio de melhores práticas entre os executivos das companhias de metrô de todo o mundo.
A premiação The Metros foi criada para reconhecer as realizações mais significativas dos principais líderes do transporte de alta capacidade. Sua missão é identificar e reconhecer as companhias que tem demonstrado uma extrema habilidade em manter, com sucesso, seus padrões de excelência.

The Siemens is a 4-car composition, the exact opposite of the gigantic 12-car Cobrasma compositions which are the only ones serving line 8, once the best line in the system.

It's funny because this inclined access was built in 1990 along with the old Consolação station, I wonder if they knew where the new line 4 station would be at in terms of elevation/depth.

That noise isn't entirely unique. :) The Keikyū 2100 series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiky%C5%AB_2100_series) trains in Tokyo also have Siemens motors and make almost the same sound...

...which has been immortalised by the rainfan-oriented pop group Super Bell"Z (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bell%22Z):

And some Siemens Taurus locomotives in Europe have that sound too (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zu4otEmZOY&feature=related). :)
mopc April 1st, 2010, 04:05 PM ^^ Gee thanks! I imagined it might exist in other trains since they say the sound is produced by the AC/CD converter. And that music video, only in Japan hehee.
mopc April 1st, 2010, 06:55 PM Refurbished line 9 station du jour: Cidade Universitária. As said earlier, this batch of line 9 stations was built in the late 70's/early 80's when this was a much simpler suburban rail line.
In 1999/2000 line 9 gained several new stations in its middle but old stations in the extremity remained "archaic", especially the northern ones (Cidade Universitária, Vila Lobos-Jaguaré, Ceasa and Piheiros). The first three ones have undergone a modernization inclunding full accessibility.

mopc April 2nd, 2010, 11:36 PM A bit of history: one of the original plans for the São Paulo metro when the first serious studies were conducted around 1964
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/evandroalves/303955.jpg
That was supposed to have been built before the year 2000, but still today some of those lines remain plans, mostly due to the severe crisis which hit Brazil in the 80's and 90's. The only thing that was over-achieved was the CPTM system having been improved to "metro" standards in many lines.
Today's network:

However if everything goes according to plan we will end this decade with much more than that plan:

A question, do you know when will line 4 open? Thanks!
The forumer above might be a little optimistic, but line 4 will start operations indeed from a few weeks from now to about two months (maybe) with 2 stations only, Paulista and Faria Lima, another 4 to open until late 2010 (or early 2011) = this is called phase 1. Phase two stations (5) are intermediate stations which will remain closed until completion sometime between 2012 and 2014.

Crane that tipped over onto metro station construction site still blocking street in SP
http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1811/1009728.jpg
The hoist of a cranetruck that broke down and tipped over a truck in the construction site of future station Morumbi (4-Yellow Line) remains there as of early on Wednesday. According to CET (Traffic Engineering Company), the right lane of Avenida Francisco Morato remains blocked in the Downtown direction in Butantã, in western Sao Paulo. There is no slowdown in local traffic.
According to the Via Amarela the consortium responsible for the construction, the lifting of the vehicle is being carried out by technicians. The crane fell into the construction site around 4 p.m local time yesterday (6). No one was injured.
Also according to the Consortium, the construction works in the station were not paralyzed, since all Line 4 stations are underground.

People are saying April 21 will be the opening day, but no one knows.
mopc April 9th, 2010, 02:34 AM Júlio Prestes Station (1936) - Line 8
Built to serve normal long distance passenger services for the old Sorocabana Railways to São Paulo state, with the downfall of long distance passenger rail it was eventually restricted to suburban rail (which evolved into today's line 8). Today it is underused as a station since line 8 transfers at Barra Funda to several other lines, while Júlio Prestes is a terminus line, isolated (although physically near the very important, though older and smaller, Luz station)
Probably the most monumental and beautiful construction in São Paulo city.
