Travel information

The most used means of transportation by Brazilian is the coach (ônibus), it is quite a good buy. Almost 2/3 of travel in Brazil are done by the coach.
The second system of transportation is the plane (avião), much more expensive but more efficient due to the distances.
The boat is used a lot in the north of the county, where roads are rare.
