When you move to Sao Paulo, Brazil with IntlMOVE, one of your first orders of business should be to learn your way around your new city.

If you decide to ship your car to Brazil, IntlMOVE can ship your car along with your household goods.

However, you may not want to have a car in Brazil.

If this is the case, you can take advantage of the Sao Paulo Metro. 

Sao Paulo Brazil is known for its dreadful traffic and congested highways.

Luckily, the Metro in Sao Paulo is one of the most efficient transportation systems in the world.

The Sao Paulo Metro was first developed in 1968 and by 1972, the first train was in operation.

Even if IntlMOVE ships your car to Brazil, you might want to ride the Metro from time to time to avoid traffic. 

When you take the Metro, there will be five different colored lines to choose from.

These are the different lines – Line 1-Blue, Line 2-Green, Line 3-Red, Line 4-Yellow and Line 5-Lilac.

The Line 4-Yellow line is one of the newest with stations that opened in May 2010. 

There are several new stations that have recently opened up in Sao Paulo.

This means more travel routes and an easier time getting around the city.

The new stations are clean and modern, to make the public transportation experience more comfortable.

There are a total of 11 new stations that are scheduled to open by 2014.

If you need to get some work done while you are waiting for your train, you can take advantage of the free high speed Internet service that is offered at the stations.

If you have any questions, there are employees stationed throughout the Metro stations to help you out.

However, make sure that you brush up on your Portuguese because not everyone will speak English.

In fact, you can count on the majority of people only speaking Portuguese.

To give the ultimate feeling of safety, there are glass walls that run the edge of the track along the platform.

These glass walls only open up once a train is completely stopped.

This is to help ensure that people do not fall onto the track or have any other preventable accidents. 

Once you hop on one of the trains, you will find that the level of cleanliness is still impeccable since the trains are relatively new on the yellow line.

The other trains are still comfortable, although they can be quite full during rush hour.  

The new trains are not connecting cars, but instead the train is just one long tube.

There is no engineer and the trains are completely automated, which is one of the first of its kind in the world. 

The announcements for the upcoming stops are also automated and they are very easy to hear.

When you move to Sao Paulo, Brazil with IntlMOVE, you will be able to get around the city in no time.

The Metro offers a safe, fast and effective way to get from Point A to Point B in your new city.
