Brazil

Transport in Brazil. Transport infrastructure in Brazil is characterized by strong regional differences and lack of development of the national rail network. Brazil’s fast-growing economy, and especially the growth in exports, will place increasing demands on the transportation networks. Brazil has 1,751,868 kilometers of roads, 96,353 km of them paved and 1,655,515 km unpaved. That means that only 5.5% of the roads are paved and that 94.5% are unpaved. The most important highway of the country is BR-116 and the second is BR-101.Taxi rides are reasonably priced, and a taxi is the best option for getting around cities at night. Taxis in cities usually have meters that start at R$5.20 and rise by something like R$2 per kilometer (more at night and on weekends).In small towns, taxis often don’t have meters, and you’ll have to arrange a price – beforehand.If possible, orient yourself before taking a taxi, and keep a map handy in case you find yourself being taken on a wild detour.Jumping on a local bus is one of the best ways to get to know a city. With a map and a few dollars you can get an overview of the town. Local bus services tend to be decent. Since most Brazilians take the bus to work, municipal buses are usually frequent and their network of routes comprehensive. One-way fares range from R$2.50 to R$3.70. In most city buses, you get on at the front and exit from the back, though occasionally the reverse is true. Usually there’s a money collector sitting at a turnstile just inside the entrance.
