The Best Fortaleza Bus Companies
Helpful advice on choosing the Best Fortaleza Bus Companies from Fortaleza Bus Station to the beaches along the Coast of Ceara.
I have friends and family who take buses from Fortaleza Bus Station regularly. The bigger Fortaleza Bus Companies are usually your best bet. Having the most up to date fleet and more buses. Which means less chance of a breakdown and spending time on the side of the road waiting for another bus! |

If you need to get to the Fortaleza Bus Terminal from the Fortaleza
International Airport.
Private car service is only R$ 50 BRL and your
best choice. FORTALEZA BEACHES provides a safe and simple Fortaleza Airport to Bus Terminal Service operating 7 days a week. As you pass through
the baggage claim area at the airport, passengers will be welcomed by
the driver holding a sign with their name on it. Payment is upon
arrival at the Bus Terminal.
If your traveling during the day try to get a seat on the shady side of the bus. That is the side where the Sun is not coming through the windows. The locals know this. Sometimes there are curtains but it can still get very hot even if the bus is air conditioned.
I prefer to travel on buses without air conditioning here. It always seems to be way to cold or way too hot and stuffy. I'll take the shady side of the bus with the window open!
