Here’s How to Get From Guarulhos Airport to Sao Paulo via Public Transit:

Step 1: Go outside the Arrivals Hall at Sao Paulo International Airport (GRU Airport) and find a public transportation bus with the direction ‘Metro Tatuape’. Buy a bus ticket from the driver for 3.50 Reais ~ $1.32 USD.

Step 2: It will take approximately 30 minutes (with no traffic and two stops at other terminals) to reach the Tatuape Metro Station from Guarulhos Airport.

Step 3: Once the bus fully stops at Tatuape (final destination), hop off the bus and follow signs to the Tatuape Metro Station (Blue line).

Step 4: Buy a single journey metro subway ticket from the ticket booth cashier or ticket machine for 3.50 Brasilian Reais ~ $1.32 USD.

Step 5: Make sure you’re going the right direction by studying the Sao Paulo Metro Map beforehand!

For example, from Estação Tatuapé to Estação Paulista, it would require a change at Estação Republica and the journey would take approximately 37 minutes by subway. In total from GRU Airport to Paulista Metro Station, the entire journey would take 1 hour and 7 minutes which is (in many cases) better than taking a taxi in the infamous Sao Paulo traffic!
