Transport: In a huge city like Sao Paulo roads are obviously extremely
congested, therefore the subway system is probably the fastest
option for getting around in the downtown area. The subway is
however limited to a north-south line, which includes the main
station, Terminal Tiete; an east-west line; and a short central
line below the Avenida Paulista. There are hundreds of buses
covering the city, operating from 5am to midnight, but these are
generally overcrowded. Taxis are freely available, but standard
taxis are unreliable. Radio taxis are more reputable and favoured
by tourists; taxis are the best means of transport after dark.
Various neighbourhoods in Sao Paulo are easy to negotiate on foot
and are usually safe by day.
