Everyone has a unique history with public transport – and if you don’t, we bet you know a relative, friend or even enemy with stories to tell. We at São Paulo Secreto love to uncover the “peculiarities” of our city, and for this reason, we use social media to ask our readers: what are the weirdest things you’ve seen on the são Paulo subway?
The answers were curious to say the least, with bites, stealing other people’s food, capoeira fighting and even – amazingly – a deceased traveling around the world subway cars. It’s all so different, isn’t it? Which leads us to believe that, in a city like São Paulo, you have to be prepared for anything!
