Public transportation
Urban Areas:
Major cities like São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasília have comprehensive public transit systems. São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro offer metro networks that are efficient and affordable. Buses (ônibus) are widely used across cities, often operating on dedicated lanes for faster travel.
Intercity Travel:
Long-distance buses are the primary mode of intercity travel, connecting most cities and towns. Companies like Cometa, 1001, and Expresso do Sul offer varying levels of comfort, from standard to luxury. Domestic flights are also popular due to the vast distances, with airlines like LATAM, Gol, and Azul operating frequent services.
Rural Areas:
Public transport in rural areas is less reliable, often consisting of minibusses or shared vehicles.
Ferries:
In coastal and river regions, ferries connect islands and towns. For example, ferries operate between Salvador and Itaparica Island and along the Amazon River.
