Almost 700,000 travelers are expected to pass through Rio Bus Station between December 19th and January 2nd, according to the concessionaire’s forecast. The number takes into account embarkations and disembarks and represents an increase of 4% compared to last year’s movement.
The largest number of passengers leaving Rio should be recorded next Friday (20), when around almost 30 thousand people are expected to board, mainly heading to cities in the Lakes Region, Costa Verde, Mountain Region and the interior of the state. THE
The cities of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, EspÃrito Santo and BrasÃlia are also among the most sought after.
Saturday (21) should see a considerable number of arrivals (32 thousand people arriving in Rio through the terminal), the majority of which are from neighboring states.
There are still tickets for those who want to travel by bus during this period, but the concessionaire’s recommendation is to secure tickets as soon as possible.
The greater the advance purchase, the greater the chances of finding discounts and availability for the highest demand destinations.
Of the 23,623 thousand buses throughout this period, the companies made almost 7,539 extras available to meet all demand, but even extra times may run out, especially in the most popular regions such as the cities of Saquarema, Búzios, Cabo Frio, Araruama and Arraial do Cabo .
The year 2024 was positive for the regular road sector. According to unprecedented research by the National Transport Confederation (CNT), in partnership with the Brazilian Association of Land Passenger Transport Companies (ABRATI), interstate road transport served 43 million people in 2023, representing a growth of 2.3 % compared to 2022.
Rio Bus Station is expected to close the year 2024 with more than 11 million passengers, an increase of 1% compared to the total recorded last year.
