Almost 10,000 buses are used to transport people in São Paulo. A Single Ticket can be purchased at lottery shops or at SPTrans desks. This ticket is a magnetic card to be charged with credits. Using it, passengers may travel in four different means every three hours paying a single fare. If you do not have a Single Ticket, pay the fare to the collector.

Passengers use the front door entering and back door to leave the bus. On bus lanes, embarking and disembarking is on the driver’s side.

Fares: Since November 30, 2006, bus fare is R$2.30 in São Paulo. Further information: www.sptrans.com.br
