Tietê Bus Station São Paulo – 90,000 people a day pass through here

The Tietê bus station has service to downtown via the Metro and to both airports.

You can usually purchase your tickets at the bus station; however, during holiday periods, buses may be full.

With the air traffic situation being as it is, taking the bus between the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro is a good option to consider. Prices range from 55.00 to 92.00 reais, which at today’s exchange rate is between US$30.00 to 51.00. The more expensive fare is for the ‘Leito” (bed bus). Take the cheaper bus early in the morning. You will get to see a good part of the cities of SP and Rio as well as nice country side on the trip.
