The Challenges of

São Paulo City

Mobility

Ely Bernardi, ely@ipt.br

São Paulo Metropolitan Area (I)

• City of São Paulo: 11.3 million inhabitants in 1,523 km2

+ 38 cities in its vicinity

• Metropolitan Area (RMSP): 19.7 million inhabitants

in 8,047 km2

5% of the metropolitan area concentrates

50% of the employment in a 11 km circle!

This 5% area is the destination for

40% of daily motorized journeys and

only 20% population live in it!

→ High concentration of transport demand!

São Paulo Metropolitan Area (II)

• In the last decades there was a continuous increase in the private transport journeys: 30% (1967) to 55% (2002).

• This tendency was inverted between 2002 and 2007 (after planning investment for metro and railways).

In railways, there was an upgrade of 8 times in the use of the existing 250 km with only investment in new vehicles and stations (1997 to 2011).

• Between 2007 and 2012 it was detected a new tendency in increasing the private transport journeys more than the public ones (21% vs. 16%); the modal distribution remained 46% for private and 54% for public.

→ It is necessary to increase the public transportation supply and to reduce the number of journeys demand!

PITU 2020/25/30: investment in metro, railways and rapid buses but also stimulus for the development of mixed use areas

São Paulo Public Transport (I)

São Paulo City Buses

• 15,000 vehicles; 1,300 lines; 28 terminals; 19,000 bus stop

• 9.9 million passengers/day in April, 2014

• 10 corridors for large buses and more than 400 km of bus lanes

• Smart tickets

• Integrated monitoring system

• Passenger information system

→ Giving priority for buses is a goal to achieve!

São Paulo Public Transport (II)

São Paulo City Metro

• 74.8 km + 68.3 km (under construction) + 43 km (projected)

• 5 lines

• 65 stations + 58 (under construction) + 41 (projected)

• Integrated stations with railways (8)

• Integrated ticketing: metro + railways + buses

• 3.7 million passengers/day

Evolution on Metro Infrastructure

• SP: 2 km/year; FR: 7 km/year; CH: 27 km/year

→ It is necessary having a faster implementation!

São Paulo Public Transport (III)

Railways (RMSP)

• 260 km

• 6 lines

• 22 cities

• 92 stations

• 2.1 million passengers/day

→ The investment should be done continuously!

Federal government has also been planning to invest more in railways,

especially for transporting goods and this could means

a new era for transport in Brazil!

São Paulo City – Intelligent Transportation Systems (I)

Traffic Enforcement Systems (almost 1,000 equipment)

• Speed limit

• Peak hour traffic restriction (road rationing)

• Truck traffic restriction (period and areas)

• Bus lanes

• Chartered bus restriction areas

• Red light

• Parking

Traffic Lights (more than 5,000 intersections); most of them are being reformed

Dynamic message signs, height vehicle detection, CCTV . . .

São Paulo City – Intelligent Transportation Systems (II)

• Smart tickets (metro+railway+buses)

• Passenger information system (online & mobile and at some bus station platforms with variable message signs)

• Integrated bus monitoring system

• Buses data availability for mobile apps

Centre for Integration of Urban Mobility (CIMU)

→ open protocols & standards for integrating data

→ vehicle register and bus travelling time integration; better DMS & CCTV control; traffic lights bus priority

→ monitoring of 1600 km; 20% decrease in traffic; 70% decrease in buses travelling time

São Paulo City – Mobility Challenges

Increasing the public transportation supply

Urban planning focus on reducing the number of journeys demand

Investing continuously in the diverse modals and their integration

Giving priority in the traffic management to the public transport

Implementing policies for encouraging the availability & integration of data

Exploring the benefits of open data

Using traffic data as a contribution to urban and mobility planning
