Sptrans

SPTrans (São Paulo Transporte) is the municipal local government authority that manages the public transport system in São Paulo. It has an integrated network set up by the Municipal Transport, in conjunction with the SPTrans in 2003, which consists of two subsystems: structural subsystem and location subsystem. The structural subsystem consists of lines operated by medium and large vehicles designed to meet demands and integrates diverse regions to the central areas of the city. The location subsystem feeds the structural mesh and meets internal displacement in sub-centers with lines operated by ordinary buses and smaller vehicles such as micro and mini buses. SPTrans is operated by 16 consortia formed by enterprises and cooperatives, responsible for the operation of 15 thousand vehicles in more than 1,300 lines. SPTrans was founded on March 8, 1995, and is based in São Paulo, Alagoas.
