Fortaleza Bus TerminalWhat you need to know about buying your tickets and choosing the best buses.

If not you may try writing your question on a piece of paper and ask them to write the answer down for you. 
The bus companies all have signs complete with there destinations so that simplifies things bit. But you still have to sort out fares and departure times. If your traveling in December or January, during Carnaval, July or a Holiday Weekend. You may want to buy a round trip ticket if your sure about your return date! The buses are often full and you can get stuck waiting a day or two for a seat coming back. IMPORTANT if you have a plane to catch! Before you purchase your ticket make sure you double check the time of departure and the date. (The time is always in the 24 hour format. Example: 18:00 or 6 P.M). Check the date as well if you are buying a ticket in advance. Dates are written with the day first here in Brazil (day,month,year). Which can be very confusing.(Example: 1/4/2007 is NOT January 4, 2007 but April 1, 2007. It is less confusing after the 12th of the month when you have a number 13 or higher in the first box. Example: 16/04/2007 or April 16, 2007) CHOOSING THE BEST BUSES: A few words of advice based on living in Fortaleza for over ten years. The best buses are the safest buses. The roads get progressively worse as you get out of the city.  Traveling by bus is relatively safe but breakdowns and accidents are not unusual. The chances are much greater at night when the drivers vision is limited and there are more people driving under the influence of alcohol. Traveling by day cuts the odds to near zero for a breakdown or accident and you get to enjoy the scenery along the way! When possible try to keep your trip to 8 hours or less so you arrive at your destination before dark. Fortaleza Bus Travel What you need to know about getting to and using The Fortaleza Bus Terminal!
