The São Paulo Metrô ((ポルトガル語:Metropolitano de São Paulo)), commonly called the ''Metrô'', is the main rapid transit system in the city of São Paulo and the largest in Brazil. It is also the second largest system in South America and the third largest in Latin America, behind the Mexico City Metro and the Santiago Metro. The five main lines in the metro system system (Lines 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5) operate on of route, serving 65 stations. A sixth line, Line 15, is a monorail line that partially opened for service in 2014.〔 In 2014, the four lines operated by CMSP (Lines 1, 2, 3 & 5) achieved an average weekday ridership of 3.09 million, and provided 895.6 million rides over the course of 2014;〔 the entire Metro system served 1,098 million passengers when Line 4 is included with the other four lines. The Companhia do Metropolitano de São Paulo (Metrô) was founded on April 24, 1968.〔 Eight months later, work on North-South line was initiated. In 1972, the first test train trip occurred between Jabaquara and Saúde stations. In 1974, the segment between Jabaquara and Vila Mariana entered into commercial operation.〔 The system is interlinked with CPTM (São Paulo Metropolitan Trains Company) at Brás, Palmeiras-Barra Funda, Tatuapé, Corinthians-Itaquera, Tamanduateí, Pinheiros and Santo Amaro stations, and at other modal transportation terminals in the city of São Paulo.〔(Expansion )〕 The São Paulo Metro was voted Best Metro Americas at the MetroRail 2010 industry conference.〔(MetroRail announced in 2010 on the SP Metro choice as the best of America, in London )〕〔(Metros award 2010 )〕〔(Publication of the award in the site ExpansãoSP-Metrô )〕 ==Lines== The metro system consists of five color-coded lines: Line 1 (Blue), Line 2 (Green), Line 3 (Red), Line 4 (Yellow), and Line 5 (Lilac), all of them operating from Sunday to Saturday, from 4:40 AM to midnight (1:00 AM on Saturdays). The metro system carries 4,500,000 passengers a day.〔 A sixth line, Line 15 (Silver), is a monorail, a section of which (the rest being currently under construction) is presently open for service on weekends only. Metro itself is far from covering the entire urban area in the city of São Paulo and only runs within the city limits. Another company, Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos (CPTM), serves 22 municipalities that make up the São Paulo Metropolitan Region with commuter lines, which total six lines (7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12), long, serving 92 stations and carrying 2,900,000 passengers a day. Metro and CPTM are integrated through various stations. Metro and CPTM both operate as State-owned companies, and have received awards in the recent past as one of the cleanest systems in the world by ISO9001. The times between the trains both in Metro and CPTM are about one-two minutes in the high traffic times, and three-five minutes in the low traffic periods. The CPTM differs from Metro because it serves other municipalities around São Paulo and also cargo trains, and because of the considerably larger distance between stations (except for the Line 9, which has almost no differences to the Metro lines). The first line, Norte/Sul (North/South), later renamed "Blue Line" or Line 1 - Blue, was opened on September 18, 1972, with an experimental operation between Saúde and Jabaquara stations. Commercial operations started on September 14, 1974, after an eight-year "gestation" period that began in 1966, under Mayor Faria Lima's administration. Expansion of the metro system includes new lines. As of late 2004, construction began on a US$1 billion, 12.8 km (7.9 mi) all-underground line (Line 4 - Yellow), with eleven stations, aimed at transporting almost one million people per day. By 2004, Line 2 was also being expanded, with two new stations open in 2006 and another one in 2007. An expansion of Line 5 is currently under construction. Plans also include updating the CPTM suburban rail system, which will add several million passengers capacity into the system. It is expected that the São Paulo Metro and CPTM systems will carry about 9.3 million people on average week days by 2018, as opposed to today's 7.5 million (Metro: 4.6 million; CPTM: 2.9 million as of 2014). Metro stations operate from 4:40 AM to around 12:00 AM. , tickets cost R$3.50. In 2006, the São Paulo Metro system has started to use a smart card, called "Bilhete Único" (or "Single Ticket" in English). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「São Paulo Metro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
