Alternative routes to IFT-UNESP

Alternative ways to get to ICTP-SAIFR at the IFT-UNESP building when the metro is on strike

 

  • By subway+train (4,40 BRL): approximately 50 minutes

You can walk to the “Paulista Pernambucanas” metro station. (The yellow line is managed by a different company, so it will not be closed due to the strike.) It is a 20 min walk from the hotel. https://goo.gl/maps/MEaAEcDtLvtNh1SX6

From the “Paulista Pernambucanas” metro station you have to go to Luz station and then take the train CPTM line 7- Rubi to “Barra Funda” station. (They are integrated transportation systems, so you will not pay for another ticket. However, you should first confirm that the CPTM train is not also on strike.)
