### The São Paulo Metro: a sustainable transport solution

São Paulo has been developing a plan focused on improving urban mobility since
the 1990s and the expanded metro network is one of its notable successes.

This latest project for Line 15 will contribute further to providing a
high-quality service while reducing journey times. Furthermore, the metro system
helps to ease road congestion, thereby contributing to the environment.
