    Enough of cars 1.0 in Higienópolis!
  • 0:21 - 0:25
    I only take the tube in NY, London and Paris!
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    This is a protest that started with a chat among six friends
  • 0:30 - 0:35
    on twitter where we wanted to know what was really going on in the area
  • 0:35 - 0:40
    why the construcion of Higienópolis tube station was cancelled
  • 0:40 - 0:46
    and when we started to debate the opinions out there
  • 0:46 - 0:51
    we had the idea of promoting this protest and a barbecue
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    with soft drinks, plastic cups, something very popular
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    because someone had said that "different people" take the metro
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    so we are all "different people" then, because we all take the metro
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    we think that it is necessary to have a subway station in this area
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    because the buses that serve Angelica Avenue are always too full
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    there are only a few buses, they take a long time to come
  • 1:08 - 1:13
    and there are a lot of people who work in the area who need the metro
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    so we decided to get together in a peacefull way
  • 1:15 - 1:20
    in this event where there are people who have taken part of protests in 1989, 1983
  • 1:20 - 1:25
    These are serious people who are here to protest and call for the most humble people to be heard
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    in their plea for public transport.
  • 1:33 - 1:43
    "Different people" are people who are not being governed by the current governor of Sao Paulo
  • 1:43 - 1:44
    They have been excluded.
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    Where is the meat? Where is the beer?
  • 1:48 - 1:54
    Ah, it will be more like stale bread mortadella sandwiches, we are waiting for them to arrive.
  • 1:55 - 1:59
    A more developed city needs to have better urban mobility.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    As you don't have metro, you travel by bike?
  • 2:02 - 2:08
    We travel by bike, but we also want to take the tube too.
  • 2:08 - 2:14
    Because all of the more developed cities have a more human transport system.
  • 2:14 - 2:18
    If there is no metro, make a designated bicycle route.
  • 2:18 - 2:19
    It is an option.
  • 2:19 - 2:25
    I like public transport but I never take the bus or metro, only bike.
  • 2:26 - 2:35
    How come the governor Geraldo Alckmin changed the station's location without consulting the majority?
  • 2:39 - 2:48
    3,500 people can not superimpose themselves to 10 million paulistanos
  • 2:55 - 3:02
    The rich and the poor all have – excuse me let me have some farofa
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    Only missing meat now...
  • 3:05 - 3:08
    Our hunger is democratic!
  • 3:08 - 3:14
    It is the Brazilian knack, we brought chips, Brazilian drinks, very cheap...
  • 3:15 - 3:16
    I have choked!
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    Where is his Guaraná [Brazilian soft drink]?
  • 3:20 - 3:23
    Chandon Champagne is only for those who can afford it, isn't it?
  • 3:25 - 3:28
    A toast to the "different station"
  • 3:31 - 3:35
    Yes, I agree there should be a metro station in Higienópolis
  • 3:35 - 3:41
    It will be good for everyone, it is a busy street and better to have metro than cars
  • 3:41 - 3:47
    I back the metro in Avenida Angelica. Cars should be banned.
  • 3:47 - 3:51
    And I think it is a good idea to stop cars honking
  • 3:53 - 3:55
    Besides I think that cars...
  • 3:55 - 3:57
    But it won't end the traffic!
  • 3:57 - 4:06
    No, but there will be less. If you leave your car at home, I leave my car and I walk to the city centre
  • 4:06 - 4:10
    A metro is a waste of money.
  • 4:10 - 4:12
    Sao Paulo's people's money.
  • 4:12 - 4:17
    Just walk for 600 metres and there is a station over there
  • 4:17 - 4:21
    This is another matter, there are also bus stops
  • 4:22 - 4:28
    booooooooooo
  • 4:46 - 4:52
    You are disrupting the traffic, go manifest yourselves on the pavement
  • 4:53 - 4:56
    Finished?
  • 4:56 - 5:00
    It is closed. Last one.
  • 5:00 - 5:02
    It is already blocked over there.
  • 5:02 - 5:06
    You see, it would be easier if you had taken the metro.
  • 5:06 - 5:08
    Sure thing, but they are right, you need to protest.
  • 5:08 - 5:11
    It is just that they should have closed the road before the protest, no?
  • 5:21 - 5:26
    Everyone agrees, it needs to be peaceful, it needs to be nice
  • 5:26 - 5:29
    it needs to show with a sense of humor that we exist and we want to be heard
  • 5:29 - 5:32
    Because if they use the internet for campaigning,
  • 5:32 - 5:36
    we can use the internet too to protest against their work
  • 5:47 - 5:50
    I think that if facebook is turned into a tool to mobilise
  • 5:50 - 5:54
    we can change this country, the law, I am very optimistic.
  • 5:54 - 5:59
    Me, a local dweller who lives here, I think the metro would be good for the place
  • 5:59 - 6:01
    I'm asking about the protest, not the metro.
  • 6:01 - 6:04
    Do you think this protest is be good for anything?
  • 6:04 - 6:07
    Of course it is, people need to get together to speak out, come on!
  • 6:07 - 6:12
    If we don't fight and say there we need a metro, we won't have it
  • 6:12 - 6:16
    Thank God now there is the Internet, Facebook, Twitter and conscious people
  • 6:16 - 6:20
    We have "different people", now where is the barbecue?
  • 6:20 - 6:23
    Ah, there barbecue is over there, look!
  • 6:23 - 6:24
    They are making it!
  • 6:25 - 6:30
    Over 11 million people and 4.2 million vehicles circulate in Sao Paulo city.
  • 6:30 - 6:36
    313 km of metro and train lines are dedicated to the public transport.
  • 6:37 - 6:42
    This is half the size of NY, Berlin or London networks.
  • 6:43 - 6:48
    all of which cover metropolitan areas smaller than Sao Paulo.
