ReplyDeleteThanks for this information. I would love to get something similar on the buses. I use them as much as possible, go to www.SPtrans.com.br and try to figure out how to get from A to B. I have never found a full map, like the metro map, not even for parts of the city. Some bus-stops don't list buses that stop there (missing, damaged etc) and it's a bit difficult figuring things out. I find it's best to go to Google maps, click on starting point and end point, then switch option to public transit and finally check the result on SP Trans. Don't forget to check how to get back. It's good to have the SP Trans website but if you make a mistake in it's timetable page it isn't very flexible and may stop there. Also the maps connections never seem to work.
