Line 3 (São Paulo Metro)
Line 3 (Red) ( pt, Linha 3–Vermelha) is one of the six lines that make up the São Paulo Metro and one of the thirteen lines that make up the Metropolitan Rail Transportation Network. It runs between Palmeiras-Barra Funda and Corinthians-Itaquera. It was formerly called the East-West Line. Line 3 is the busiest in the system.

But after a lengthy debate, it was decided that it would be constructed on the surface, taking advantage of the old Rede Ferroviária Federal train bed and sharing of its lines—a move that prevented many expropriations. Construction began in 1972. With this design change, the East-West line would then be more than long between Praça da Sé and Guaianases, parallel to the railroad tracks. The stre ...
