Today the Yellow Metro Line of São Paulo started a new working time. From now on, the subway is running until 9 pm.
Until now, the Yellow Line operated only from 4h40 am to 3 pm, from Monday to Friday, because the trains were still going through testing.

The free transfer between the two stations in Pinheiros is via a walkway on the Marginal Pinheiros length of 56.5 meters, a height of 6.65 meters. The walkway is covered and enclosed on the sides.
The Pinheiros station, which was opened in May, was the fourth station of the 4-Yellow Line to be opened. In March, was the inauguration of the station Butantã. The stations Faria Lima and Sao Paulo are on duty since May 2010. It is expected that the line will have 11 stops, over almost 13 km, connecting the stations Luz and Vila Sonia.

Scheduled for June 26th, the Gay Pride Parade celebrates its 15th year under the theme "Love each other, end homophobia" ("Amai-vos uns aos outros: basta de homofobia"). The festival starts at noon, and up to 3 million participants are expected.
According to the organizers, the event includes a Cycle of Lectures, a Cultural Fair, a Citizenship Award for Respect of Diversity, and Gay Day. This year, the Association of the LGBT Pride Parade in São Paulo (Associação da Parada do Orgulho GLBT de São Paulo) wants to promote a discussion about the prejudice of religious groups against homosexuals — which helped to inspire this year's theme.
On Sunday at 1:30 pm, there will also be a debutante ball. About 3 million people are expected on the Avenida Paulista, in the Pride Parade 2011. The organization is preparing a waltz in the center of the city. The participants will have to dance the Blue Danube with whoever is next to him/her when the music plays. All 17 electric floats will play a remixed version of the traditional waltz, created by DJ Ana John.
The video above, of one minute and 20 seconds, the characters are played by the actors Rodrigo Ricardo and Ramory Feldman.
Recorded at the intersection of Avenida Paulista and Rua Augusta, the short film shows the two actors meeting in the middle of the crosswalk and waltzing solemnly.
