Posts: 988I transit frequently thru the bus system. It's fine when you know how it works. For that you have to know thre city. As I stay in Moema there's three paradas (bus stops) that are very usefull.
One of them is located on Ibirapuera. If I want to go to the nearest metro station, I just pick up a bus heading toward Santa Cruz (the destination is written in the upper front of the bus) or Praça da Arvore. If, instead I want to go directly to centro, I pick up a bus heading toward Praça da Sé or Anhagabu.
The other one is located on Santo Amaro and Eucaliptus (Eucaliptus parada). If I want to go to Novo Brooklin I just pick up a bus going that way. If I want to go to the other direction any bus where Pinheiros is written on it is good.
The third parada (it's jus a bus stop) is on the corner of Araguari and Pavão, just next to where I stay. That bus is going to the Ana Rosa subway station.
Learn the different districts of Sampa and the name and location of the metro stations or big destination and you'll be able to orient yourself.
As usual, avoid busses at rush hours. Read some of posts because I refer to the problem of going out of Moema at rush hours.

If you use the bus system, I want you to explain it to me. I've been going there for years and I don't get it. Plus, you get stuck with the traffic during peak hours. But if you want the information, here is the link. Good luck!!!

I had no idea the trip looked so bad from where they filmed this. Yes, I've been in that gaggle many, many of times exploring the city. Se just happens to be one, if not the busiests stations in Sao Paolo because many lines (Incuding the recently merged CPTM with Metro lines) merge at this multiple-level, mega exchange station. Still beats the traffic outside in my opinion. Just push and fight your way on like a local.

Actually, more than 13,000,000 passengers transit by the metro each day.
Here's a short video on the metro system in São Paulo

The Metro system is fine and unexpensive. You can buy a bilhete único in any bancadas (or bancas de jornais = newspaper stands), in some stores (like pão de açucar) or, naturally in any metro stations.
You can put any amount of money on that card (if I remember it well, not over R$200 though)
Beware: at rush hours the metro is crowdyand it's not pleasant at all.

The area is relatively safe. But don't go at 4 am by empty streets.
Wherever there's people around you'll be in safe territory.
