Hi, I am trying to book some bus tickets from Rio to Sao Paulo and they are asking for my CEP. What is this? How do I get one? I am not sure what to do?
cep is the postal code for brasil you have to have an address over there to have a cep
CEP = Zip Code
Try this. Generic code for Flamengo barrio in Rio.

I want to get a bus from Rio Branco to Manaus. What bus line do I need to take? Thank you!
Found posters saying this bus company has a run between Rio Branco and Manaus, but when you search the site, no info comes up on the route. BR 319 is not a functioning highway especially in the rainy season. Best bet would be my boat.

i am trying to get from foz do igacu to rio de janeiro 24 june 2012. i can see the bus company id pluma but how do you book a ticket if you are not brazillian?

Not sure they will accept foreign credit cards.
Puma has two buses on the 24th day. 0830 and 1330 114.50 reais. When you arrive in Rio ask around. Travel agencies sell bus tickets as well.
Your blog is just what I was searching for. You have no idea how
long I have been questioning the same exact thing!
I am so glad that I am no longer apart.
okay soooooooo … non-brazillians can’t book online, is what i’m getting here? or what?
My understanding is you have to be in Brazil, have a local address and credit card as well.
I received the following reply from rep at Pluma.

The tickets can be purchased in our Sales Center daily by phone 0800 6460300 for domestic calls and (41) 3212 2660 for international calls, paying by credit card or bank deposit and withdraw up to 1 hour before departure providing credit card and document ID.

Thanks for the update.
I’m impressed….so far.
I hope this procedure is actually used. So much here is ‘talk’and not ‘action’.
