The Best
Fortaleza Bus Companies

Helpful tips and 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 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!
