Gaetano Ferolla Museum of Public Transport, Transport museum in Canindé neighborhood, São Paulo, Brazil.
The Gaetano Ferolla Museum of Public Transport contains seven historic vehicles, 1,500 photographs, and 1,500 books documenting urban transportation development in São Paulo.
Mario Covas, mayor of São Paulo, inaugurated the museum on March 20, 1985, following the initiative of former CMTC employee Gaetano Ferolla to preserve transport history.
The museum collection includes the first horse-drawn tram that operated in São Paulo in 1872, representing the beginning of organized public transportation.
Located near Armenia Metro Station at Avenida Cruzeiro do Sul 780, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The museum garden features benches and lampposts from the 1920s, while inside stands a special tram designed to spread sand on tracks for improved vehicle traction.
