History and opening of the São Paulo Metro
The São Paulo metro system, known as the Metro, has a history spanning several decades of growth and expansion to meet the transport needs of one of Brazil’s largest cities. Below is a summary of its history:
The 1960s saw the first steps of the project. The idea of establishing a metro system in São Paulo arose from the rapid urban growth and the increase in vehicle traffic in the city. In 1968, the Companhia do Metropolitano de São Paulo (CMSP), a state-owned company, was created to oversee the planning and construction of the system.
In the 1970s, an important milestone was the opening of Line 1 (Blue). Work on this line began in 1968 and it was inaugurated in 1974, connecting Tucuruvi and Jabaquara stations. This pioneering line marked the beginning of an underground transport system in the city.
The 1980s were marked by the expansion of lines and stations. During this period, Line 2 (Green) opened, linking Vila Madalena to Ana Rosa. In addition, new stations were added and the existing lines were extended.
In the 1990s, development continued with the opening of Line 3 (Red), connecting Corinthians-Itaquera and Palmeiras-Barra Funda stations. Works were carried out to link up several lines and expand into new areas of the city.
From the 2000s onwards, a process of continuous modernisation and development began. New technologies and infrastructure improvements were introduced to offer users a more efficient and comfortable service. One example of these more recent expansions is the opening of Line 4 (Yellow) in 2010.
Rules for using the São Paulo metro
