Traversing Brazil’s biggest city gets a bit easier
在巴西第一大城往返移动变得更容易些

Mar 31st 2012 | SÃO PAULO | from the print edition

THE abiding memory from many a business trip to São Paulo is of traffic jams. But South America’s biggest city now offers a new way to nip between meetings. Line 4 of the city’s metro, opened in stages over the past two years, links several business districts—the city centre, Avenida Paulista and Faria Lima—for the first time. This would hardly be worthy of remark in other international cities. But São Paulo’s 71km (44 miles) metro network is tiny for a city of 19m. Mexico City’s metro is more than 200km long; Seoul’s is nearly 400km. Even Santiago, a city one quarter the size of São Paulo, has a metro that is 40% bigger.
许多上班族去圣保罗出差，记忆最深刻的就是到处交通堵塞。但是，现在这座南美洲第一大城提供了在会议之间赶场的新方法。圣保罗的地铁四号线，过去两年已开始分阶段通车，头一次将几个商业区——市中心Paulista大道和Faria Lima——连接在一起。这些在其他国际城市几乎不值一提，但拥有一千九百万人口的圣保罗，地铁总长才七十一公里简直太逊了。墨西哥城地铁全长超过两百公里；韩国首尔更将近四百公里。甚至智利首都圣地亚哥，面积只有圣保罗的四分之一，但地铁总长度也比圣保罗多出四成。

Unsurprisingly, demand on Line 4 is overwhelming. It already carries 550,000 passengers a day and expects 1m once it is complete. Rush hour is alarming. But despite the crush, refugees from the jams above are ecstatic. The line has cut many commuters’ journeys from the city’s poor periphery by half an hour. It is all the rage to start business meetings by gloating over your speedy arrival.
圣保罗地铁四号线的需求量惊人，并不让人意外。目前每天已载运五十五万名乘客，预期很快就会突破一百万。上下班尖峰时段的需求量更令人担忧。尽管地铁车厢内拥挤不堪，但逃离地面上塞车长龙的难民仍乐在其中。地铁四号线已经让来自周围贫困郊区的通勤族节省了半个小时。为了让商务会议准时开始，上班族搭乘地铁通勤将会风行一时。

São Paulo’s first metro lines were built in the 1970s by the federal government. But the constitution of 1988 handed urban transport to states and cities, which had less money and no experience of such projects. Years without investment or maintenance followed.
圣保罗的第一条地铁在1970年代由联邦政府兴建。但是，1988年宪法将城市交通交由各州和市政府管辖，地方政府经费较少，也缺乏这些大型工程的经验。于是，接下来好几年都没有投资或维护。

Line 4’s second phase, given the go-ahead on March 24th by the state governor, Geraldo Alckmin, will add five more stations and 1.8 billion reais ($1 billion) to the 3.8 billion reais already spent. Despite such price tags, more metro lines are essential, says Carlos Carvalho of IPEA, a government-linked think-tank. Nothing else can carry the 60,000-70,000 passengers per hour demanded on São Paulo’s busiest routes. Some are being planned, but they will take years: ground was broken on Line 4 in 2004. Quicker, cheaper projects are also needed, he says: upgrades to existing lines and suburban trains, plus lots more dedicated bus corridors, and perhaps congestion-charging too.
地铁四号线的第二阶段，州长Geraldo Alckmin在三月廿四日通过放行，将增建五个车站并增列十八亿黑奥（约十亿美元）预算，地铁四号线已经花费卅八亿黑奥。尽管这些价格偏高，但兴建更多地铁确实是不可或缺的，政府智库之一应用经济研究院（IPEA）的Carlos Carvalho表示。圣保罗最忙碌的路线，每小时需要载运六万至七万名乘客，但根本不可能办到。有些路线正在规画，但是还要花好几年才会完工通车︰地铁四号线早在2004年就破土动工。，也需要更快速，更廉价的应急工程，他表示︰升级现有路线和郊区火车，并且设置更多公交车专用道，或许也准备开征塞车税。

Recent economic growth, and hosting the football World Cup in 2014, have put urban transport back on the federal government’s agenda. But it will be 2016 before much improvement is felt in São Paulo, says Jaime Waisman of the University of São Paulo—and only then if the federal government chips in with grants, not just cheap loans. Even with federal help, clearing the backlog of projects will take private money. São Paulo has made a start: Line 4’s rolling stock and signalling come from ViaQuatro, a private-sector consortium, which will operate the driverless trains for the next 30 years.
近年来的经济成长，以及2014年主办世界杯足球赛，已将城市交通规画重新纳入联邦政府议程。但是圣保罗要到2016年才会感受到交通明显改善，圣保罗大学教授Jaime Waisman表示——并且假若联邦政府是以赠与方式出资，而非提供低利贷款。即使得到联邦的赠与协助，清除工程尾款还是需要动用民间资金。圣保罗已经开始︰地铁四号线的列车车厢和号志系统来自民间财团ViaQuatro，该公司将在未来三十年经营这些无人驾驶列车。

Until now, richer Paulistas have shunned the metro. Last year a residents’ group in Higienópolis, an elegant district, said they did not want Line 6 to stop there, fearing it would bring “a different class of person”. That caused uproar. Line 4 will soon stop close by. Its air-conditioned trains, mobile-phone signal and business-friendly route may even persuade them to abandon their cars.
直到现在，有钱的圣保罗居民一直在逃避地铁。去年高级地段Higienolis的住户团体表示，他们不希望地铁六号线在那里设站，惧怕地铁将会带来「不同阶层的闲杂人等」。地铁四号线不久将在附近设站停车。地铁车厢装有空调、可接收移动电话讯号和衔接商圈的路线规画，甚至可能说服他们放弃自己开车改搭地铁。
