Portuguesa-Tietê is a metro station on São Paulo Metro Line 1-Blue, located in the district of Santana, in São Paulo. It was opened on September 26, 1975. ^[2] Named as Tietê, it was renamed on June 10, 2006 as a tribute to Associação Portuguesa de Desportos, soccer club located in its surroundings.^[3]

The station is located west of Tietê Road Terminal, which is connected since its opening in 1982. It is also located 200 metres (660 ft) north from Tietê River.

Characteristics

It is an elevated station with structure in apparent concrete and two side platforms. Besides the access, it also has two gates in each of the platforms, in a way that the passenger who leaves a train in the station can't take another one in the opposite way without paying another fee.^[2]
