Line 1 (Blue) São Paulo Metro Timetable

Within the metro system, each station has its own specific operating hours. This means that the metro service starts operating at a specific time and closes at another specific time.
In the case of the statement “from midnight (00:00) until the station’s closing time“, this refers to the period from midnight until the moment the station stops operating.
During this period, from midnight until the station closes, you may only board trains on the same line you are already on. This means that you cannot change lines or make free transfers between different lines of the Metro during this period.
Therefore, if you want to make free transfers between different lines, you must do so within normal operating hours, before midnight.
To make the most of the free transfers between metro lines, it is essential to know the operating hours of each line and each station. In addition, you must use the designated transfer gates to move between the different lines and desired directions. These gates will guide you to the appropriate connections and allow you to make use of the free transfers efficiently and conveniently.

Timetable for transfers between lines
Transfers between the São Paulo Metro lines have a cut-off time. In principle, this transfer can be made up until midnight, ensuring the connection between the metro lines and CPTM.
However, it is important to note that after midnight the transfer ticket gates to the CPTM will be closed, which means it will not be possible to transfer between the transport systems.
In addition, there are specific times for transfers at Sé, Paraíso and Ana Rosa stations. You should check the available times to make sure you can connect between the lines you want.
Guaranteed times for transferring between Line 1 (Blue), Line 2 (Green) and Line 3 (Red)
For passengers who board by 1am, transfers between Line 1 (Blue), Line 2 (Green) and Line 3 (Red) are guaranteed. This guarantee extends until 1am on Saturdays, allowing passengers to transfer between these lines to continue their journey.
However, it is important to stress that this transfer guarantee does not apply to other metro lines and is specific to the lines mentioned.
