(Contributed by Felipe Barini) - "Hands down to the administration of this bus terminal. New resting areas, including a (good) food square, good ilumination, better signs, easier access from Tiet subway station to the terminal, new ticket counters and improved security. However, it stills a bus terminal, so, as we say here in Rio, "one eye on the celebration, another one on the priest". Always keep your bags close to you. The seats have high armrests, probably designed to not allow anyone to sleep. But you can have a nap at the tables in front of Bobs snack bar, near the 1001 boarding room. Oh, a tip: if youre heading Rio, try to get a 1001 ticket. It has the same price of the other companies, but they have an amazing boarding room, with terrific chairs, air conditioning, water and a free magazine. Thats what it counts!!!" Added 14 MAY 04

(Contributed by Filipe Barini) - "NEVER EVER EVER think of sleeping in here!!! Only if you love to be robbed or even got spanked by some skinheads who travel by subway and go there to find poor people coming from the North. The travellers from the North are also a problem, cos if one goes or arrives, about twenty relatives go there to see him/her. There are a lot of strange people who walk around and try to cheat all those who are arriving. Some of them even speak English. There is a constant smell of urine all around. The terminal is open all night, and really unsafe. There are no security guards and, to make things worse, the seats are plastic made, impossible to sleep. Oh, another thing: there is also a cold wind, which makes you freeze all night, even if it's summer. NO WAY!!!"

The bus itself is OK for staying overnight, however, itsnt probably a good idea stay there overnight with all your luggage, as had to do. Besides all the seats are with armrests, so isnt so comfortable unless you are really tired like I." Added 06 April 06
