Brazil bus travel

Curitiba: Bus from Curitiba to Sao Paulo

The distance is 428 km. The bus ride takes 6 hours and 10 minutes. There are 2 bus companies, Cometa and Itapemirim. Prices start at 38,70 reais.
Prices in us dollar(each trip) are nearly US$15 for standard, US$21 for executive, and US$32 for first class.

Brazil bus: classes
There are three main classes of long-distance bus.
The ordinary Bus  convencional or Bus comum is indeed the most common. It’s fairly comfortable and usually has a toilet on board.
An Bus executivo or semi-leito is more comfortable (with reclining seats), costs about 25% more and stops less often.
A bus leito (overnight sleeper) can cost twice as much as a comum and has fully reclining seats with blankets and pillows, air-con and sometimes an attendant serving sandwiches, coffee, soda and água mineral (mineral water).
With or without toilets, buses generally make pit stops for food and bathroom breaks every three or four hours.
Attention for the foreign tourist:
Air-con on buses is sometimes strong; carry a light sweater or jacket to keep warm.
